Counter to the Berimbolo when the opponent posts their hands on the mat:

  1. Start by controlling the collar and widening your base as you work towards the back.
  2. Reach for the pants or the back of the belt to square up with the opponent.
  3. When you begin to kick the opponent back and they post their hands on the mat to prevent their back from touching the mat, maintain control of their hips.
  4. Reach with your right hand to the back of their collar. Pull the collar grip towards you as you kick out with your legs.
  5. Ensure your hooks are strong, with feet flexed and turned out. Secure the seat belt grip and fall to the side where you're inserting the first hook.
  6. Counter their hand posting by pulling them towards you using the collar grip, then kick out with your legs to off-balance them.
  7. Once you have pulled them in and kicked out, secure the seat belt grip and fall to the side to insert your hooks, starting with the left hook and then following with the right.
