About this video

Utilizing double under grips allows for neutrality, enabling the practitioner to follow the opponent to either side without changing grips. Transitioning to a seatbelt grip is necessary for submissions, as it provides access to the opponent's neck. The seatbelt grip involves one arm over the opponent's shoulder and the other under, with various grip options available based on personal preference.

It's important to maintain a tight seatbelt grip, with the head attached to the opponent's back, blocking off the weak side with the chin on the opponent's shoulder. The practitioner should be aware of the strong side (choking side) and the weak side (non-choking side), aiming to pull the opponent towards the strong side while preventing escapes to the weak side.

When resetting the back with the seatbelt grip, the practitioner should not switch arms to avoid losing position. Instead, focus on how the chest is attached to the opponent's back and the leg positioning. The knee should be positioned high on the opponent's back to prevent their weight from falling onto the practitioner, allowing for a transition to a butterfly position and the insertion of the other hook.

When the opponent attempts to escape to the weak side, the practitioner must keep their head close to the opponent's, preventing them from getting their head to the mat. The practitioner should lean into the opponent, using their weight to slide the knee up and transition into a butterfly position, securing the other hook to maintain back control.
