Countering the roll from a reap in Single Leg X-Guard to score points:
- Transition to X-Guard and initiate a reap to attack the heel.
- If the opponent rolls to defend the footlock, follow their movement.
- Unwind the position, creating space to free your right foot.
- Perform a technical stand-up to extract your left foot, while keeping the opponent's foot shelved to prevent them from standing.
- As you come up, secure an underhook with your right hand underneath the opponent's back.
- Depending on the opponent's reaction, either connect your hands or go palms up to rotate them into the underhook and settle into the position.
- If the opponent latches onto your back leg, continue to move forward and work to free your knee.
- Maintain your weight over the opponent's shoulder to prevent being swept.
- Use the back of your hamstring or your left hand to help free your leg if needed.
- Complete the guard pass by unwinding and timing the movement as the opponent rolls.
