Concept | Back Reset | Seat-Belt Control | Tripod

Maintaining a strong seatbelt control is crucial for effective back attacks. Emphasize the connection of your chest to your opponent's back, ensuring the grip around the neck is tight, with your head close and chin on their shoulder. Instead of relying solely on arm strength, engage your back muscles to hug your opponent tightly, as if their chest is an extension of your own. This approach conserves arm strength for finishing chokes and submissions.

1. When your opponent attempts to escape by hopping over your leg, you can adapt by placing your knees on the mat and sitting them up, maintaining your head position, grips, and chest-to-back attachment.
2. If your opponent tries to get their back to the mat or turn, come up to your feet, keeping the shoulder pressure through their neck and pulling your hand into your shoulder for added discomfort.
3. Follow your opponent's movements, and if necessary, step to one side to insert your hook and reset the position.
4. If you struggle to maintain the hook due to flexibility issues or body size, bring your leg back to create space, allowing your hips to move and reposition.
5. Keep your knees spaced appropriately from your opponent to ensure room for hip movement. Your shoulder should continue to drive their head forward, making it uncomfortable for them.
6. By stepping to the side, you can bring your leg around and re-establish your hooks, resetting back to a strong control position.

This method of control and adjustment allows you to maintain dominance on the back, even when dealing with an opponent's escape attempts or personal flexibility limitations.
