Long Step Vs. Collar Sleeve 2

When facing a strong collar and sleeve control that prevents escape, a strategy is to fall to the side, similar to a foot lock position, to break the grip using the legs. This allows for dragging the opponent's leg and transitioning to the top position. The hook prevents the opponent from coming on top during this maneuver.

1. Step and lean sideways to avoid being attacked when the opponent has broken down your posture.
2. Use the legs to push and break the grip on the collar, then drag the opponent's leg while lying on your back.
3. Close your elbow and pull it to your lap, turning your palm up to facilitate the grip break.
4. Once the grip is broken, use a technical stand-up to get on top, maintaining control of the opponent's leg with your hook to prevent guard recomposition.
5. When on top, depending on the opponent's reaction, control either the bottom leg or the top leg to prevent them from recomposing the guard.
6. Execute a long step pass, shifting your hips and sliding up to apply pressure and avoid the opponent's frames.
7. If the opponent frames, grab the collar to pull them; if they relax, control the hips and complete the long step.
8. After the long step, depending on the opponent's reaction, either control the bottom leg to flatten them out or control the top leg to drive their hips to the other side and stabilize the position.
9. When the opponent tries to turn, apply pressure with your forehead to slow them down, then transition to the back or another position as needed.

This approach provides a solution to a common problem of being stuck in a strong collar and sleeve control, offering a way to break the grip and transition to a more advantageous position.
