Executing a snap down off an underhook:

  1. Start with head control and an underhook.
  2. Create motion by moving and then release the head control to perform a fake shot with a jab step using your right leg.
  3. Immediately return to an upright position, pulling down on the head and underhook while sprawling your hips back to achieve a front headlock position.
  4. From the front headlock, maintain control of the tricep and chin to prevent your opponent from standing up. Pull side to side to off-balance them.
  5. Stay connected with your head and belly against your opponent. Block their hand by placing your knuckles behind their tricep.
  6. Ensure your knee beats their arm to prevent them from grabbing your leg. If they do grab, remove their grip and block the arm again.
  7. Once the opponent is down, you can choose to attack with an arm-in guillotine, arm-out guillotine, anaconda choke, or Darce choke, or work on taking the back.
  8. Focus on getting the opponent to the mat, then decide on the best submission or positional control based on your strengths.
