So is this considered "reaping the knee"? Notice Sonnon's figure four is going from outside in but his uke's foot is in Sonnon's armpit as if he was in the 5050.
Does it mechanically act like a reap or affect the knee in any way? No. Will you get DQ'ed in IBJJF for it? You bet.

This is certainly reaping the knee. It doesn't matter which armpit the leg is in. There is outside pressure turning the knee in (and crossing the hip line with your outside leg)

They need a serious rule revision cause that prob puts as much torque on the knee as standing on concrete. So dumb.
