Seat-Belt Control | Back Reset | Transitional Bow and Arrow

When attacking in transition and a hook is lost, maintain upper body control to keep the position and set up a finish. Secure the seatbelt grip and if the opponent escapes to the weak side, use the following sequence:

1. Even without the hooks, lock down upper body control with the seatbelt grip.
2. If the opponent escapes to the weak side and pushes the leg off, or flexibility is an issue, use a back reset without the hook.
3. Lock the opponent back, berimbolo, and sit them up to make them uncomfortable and distracted.
4. While the opponent is focused on preventing back control, open their lapel and establish a grip.
5. Move the opponent around, making it difficult for them to defend or maintain balance.
6. Replace the position of the head with the shoulder to maintain tight control.
7. Grab the opponent's hand and use the shoulder to push their head forward, while pulling them back with the lapel grip.
8. Move and turn the opponent as desired, setting up for a finish.
9. Step the leg in to transition to the choke or other submissions such as wrist locks or armbars.
10. Focus on securing the grip in transition, distracting the opponent with balance and core stability concerns.
11. If flexibility is limited, modify the back reset by locking back, going down, and turning to the knees to come up.
12. As the opponent becomes aware of the lapel threat, they may defend, allowing for off-balancing and transition to submission attempts.

This sequence emphasizes the importance of upper body control and the ability to adapt to the opponent's defenses to secure a finish.
