Executing a spinning back take using the long hook:

  1. Start by spinning under your opponent using their momentum as they push back against you.
  2. Reach across with your right leg to hook underneath their far arm, aiming to hook their body.
  3. Release the opponent's leg and pull both knees into your chest to pull them over you.
  4. As the opponent posts with their hand to avoid falling, insert your hand into their armpit.
  5. Move your left leg from their hip down to hook behind their knee.
  6. Push out their knee with your left foot, causing them to sit into your lap.
  7. Secure the seatbelt grip and throw your hook over to complete the back take.

Key details include only kicking out with the left foot to off-balance the opponent and ensuring the right foot hooks effectively under the opponent's arm. This technique is particularly advantageous for practitioners with longer legs.
