Concept | Back Reset | Knee Frame

Back reset drills should incorporate various scenarios to accommodate different body types and flexibility levels, ensuring a wide range of options for maintaining control and finishing the opponent. When the opponent removes the bottom player's foot and attempts to get their back to the mat, the bottom player must act quickly to prevent this by placing a knee frame.

1. Start with double underhooks and a collar grip, pulling the opponent down.
2. As the opponent removes the bottom player's foot and hops over, immediately remove the hook and place the knee in the middle of the opponent's spine, right between the shoulder blades, to create a wedge.
3. Keep the arms straight for stiff-arming and drive the knee into the opponent's back to prevent them from flattening out.
4. Use the knee frame to lift the hips and slide the knee up, maintaining pressure and keeping the opponent uncomfortable.
5. Both knees can be placed on the opponent's back to increase discomfort and allow for the insertion of both hooks simultaneously, without going wide and risking leg blocks.
6. Feet should remain hidden behind the opponent's hips, ready to be brought out to the side and snuck in for hook placement.
7. If flexibility is an issue, small hops or adjustments can be made to work the knee up while maintaining pressure with the knee frame.

This technique ensures that even as the opponent tries to escape, the bottom player can reset their position and maintain back control, leading to potential submission opportunities.
