Hug Body And Pull Knee Through - Taking The Back

Technique for taking the back when unable to establish cross wrist control:

1. Maintain control of the opponent's hips, shoulder, and across the body.
2. If unable to grab the far wrist, avoid overcommitting and falling off. Instead, return to a tight waist grip.
3. Drive your knee behind the opponent's elbow and over their leg, ensuring it reaches the mat while staying connected.
4. Place your toes flat on the mat, sit to your butt, and pull the opponent down to one side by staying connected.
5. Ensure your leg blocks the opponent's knee to prevent them from posting and maintaining balance.
6. Push off your left leg to pull the opponent on top of you and fall to your shoulder. Immediately secure a seatbelt grip.
7. Block the opponent's hips with your top knee to prevent them from jumping over and escaping.
8. Lift your knee to free your trapped foot and place the bottom hook in.
9. Hip escape by pushing off the opponent's hips with your knee, aligning both hips in the same direction.
10. Maintain control with one hook while the opponent defends the second hook. Keep your knee high and pinch your knees for control.
