Transitioning from a failed single leg takedown to an Over Hook X-Guard:

  1. While attempting a single leg takedown, if it's unsuccessful, place your foot on your opponent's hip.
  2. Lift your hips to off-balance your opponent, which may result in them falling or you moving into a submission position.
  3. If they don't fall, you'll likely end up in the Over Hook X-Guard position.
  4. From here, go onto your shoulder and push away from your opponent to set up a finish.
  5. If you're not comfortable with the finish from this position, you can place your foot back on the hip and then attempt the finish.
  6. Control the single leg position and try to execute the first finish. If it fails, shoot your leg through and lift your hips again.
  7. Immediately go for the finish by pushing away and going in. Alternatively, return your foot to the hip, push away, and reach back for the finish.
