Dealing with an opponent's biceps, collar, and sleeve control from the bottom position:
- Establish the right posture by grabbing the opponent's collar in line with the collarbone, inserting the thumb inside the collar.
- Apply pressure with your knee behind the opponent's leg to close the gap and make their leg uncomfortable.
- Free the biceps control by squatting down, posturing up, and swinging your arm inside to break the grip.
- Immediately grab the opponent's pants to prevent them from regaining biceps control and close your elbow to secure the grip.
- Start walking sideways towards the side you have the collar grip, post your leg out, and apply pressure with your belly on the opponent's leg in a sprawl motion.
- Open your elbow and execute a long step, placing your forehead on the opponent's shoulder, pulling their leg to end up in a long step position.
- If the opponent maintains the collar grip, making it hard to stabilize, pull their leg down and walk to the other side to establish a leg drag position.
- Apply pressure with your forehead, pull with your grip, and push with your head while going on your toes and shifting your hips to escape the legs.
- Once in the leg drag position, hook the opponent's knee with your knee pointing in, place your knee on the mat, and keep your toes active.
- Lean forward into a tripod position, release the leg grip, and control the hips to stabilize the position.
- Follow the opponent's movements to maintain control, especially if they try to push your chest and move their hips away.
It's important to maintain tight control throughout the transition, avoid leaning back, and keep the opponent's upper body controlled to prevent them from creating space and escaping.
