Grip Break Counter

Counter to an opponent's pant grip in the crab ride position:

1. When the opponent grips your pants, immediately address it to prevent being pulled into a 50/50 position or a leg lock setup.
2. Reach across with your right hand to grip their sleeve, breaking their grip on your pants and pulling towards you.
3. Keep your shin glued to the back of their knee and maintain the sleeve grip tight to their hip.
4. With your left hand on their belt, kick your feet upward and pull their hip towards you to expose their back.
5. Stay under their hip, maintaining grips, and sit up while kicking again to further expose their back.
6. Without releasing the grips, transition to taking the back by securing the seatbelt grip.
7. Keep your feet flexed outward to prevent the opponent from scrambling away as you set your hooks in place.
8. Avoid getting caught in the 50/50 position by breaking the opponent's grip and using it to control their movement.
9. Once in a seated position with the back exposed, immediately secure the seatbelt grip and then insert the hooks to establish back control.
