Saddle / 411
The saddle is a position; the Imanari roll is a way of entering the legs. Keeping those roles separate makes instruction easier to follow.
A position after the entry
Kesting uses 411 in his public explanation. The free Modern Leglock Position Cheatsheets also records alternative names for 411 on page 9.
Do not infer a fixed finishing position from the name of an entry alone. Compare the leg configuration in the demonstration.
Position does not settle legality
Whether an entanglement or submission is permitted depends on the event and division.
