About this video

Transitioning to back control from a stacked position can be challenging if the opponent is flexible or comfortable defending. To address this, the technique involves using a collar grip and a hip grip to maintain control while sliding underneath the opponent.

  1. Start by propping the opponent up with your knees, securing a four-finger inside grip on the collar, and grabbing the hip with the other hand.
  2. Slide underneath the opponent, aiming to bring your knee up and use your leg to control or feed their leg over for the twister hook.
  3. Maintain the stack with one arm, keeping the opponent's shoulder line from moving away from you.
  4. Even if the opponent manages to swing their leg and shift their hips, maintain the collar grip and close your elbows to keep a dominant frame.
  5. From this position, you can come up to chase the back, turn to take the back, or tip the opponent over.
  6. Keep the opponent stacked or in a crab ride position to prevent them from shoulder walking away and returning their hips to the mat.
  7. If you're unable to capitalize on flipping the opponent up, sneak your hand inside for the collar grip with elbow tight, reach across for a four-finger grip in the pants, and slide underneath to feed your grip.
  8. Pass the twister hook over and start to extend and climb to the back.
  9. If losing the position, close the elbows, and even if the opponent beats you by kicking across, you can tip them back or sit up to chase the back.
