Throw Off Back Take

Counter the opponent's clinch from closed guard by breaking them down with elbows out and knees to the chest, achieving an over-under position. To execute the throw off back take:

1. Stretch the opponent out slightly while turning towards the underhook side, loading the body to pivot back the opposite way.
2. Open the guard and turn the body, lifting the underhook and driving back to the opposite shoulder.
3. Use the underhook to throw the opponent's arm by, turning back over the clinching arm.
4. If the opponent's arm is not completely passed by, bring the head out and grab their far side lat.
5. Straighten the bottom leg to knock the opponent off their base and immediately turn it into a hook.
6. Continue hip escaping and turning to secure back hooks, maintaining the over-under position.
