About this video

When placing the first hook and unable to break down a standing opponent:

  1. Attempt to place the first hook and try to break the opponent down. If unsuccessful, maintain the hook and grab their shoulder.
  2. Kick off the hook and come up, stacking your hips on top of theirs. Avoid locking the seatbelt and going too high to prevent falling off.
  3. Keep your hips low for better control. If you start to fall off, revert to the previous technique.
  4. To progress the position, place the hooks while keeping your hips low. You can switch to a body triangle if preferred.
  5. If the opponent tries to shake you off by lowering their head, switch to double underhooks for better stability.
  6. If the opponent stands tall, use the seatbelt grip and attempt a rear naked choke from standing. If they try to shake you off, switch to double underhooks and keep your hips back.
