Twister Hook - Leg Clamp

Transitioning to a leg clamp position when the Twister hook is difficult to maintain:

1. Start by going inverted and attempt to establish a Twister hook.
2. If the opponent has heavy legs or is adept at escaping the Twister hook, it may be challenging to maintain control.
3. Instead of persisting with the Twister hook, switch your grip from the opponent's leg to their pant leg.
4. Open your legs slightly and shoot them across to clamp both of the opponent's legs above the thighs, either locking in a figure-four or crossing your feet.
5. Roll back onto your knees, maintaining the leg clamp, which provides various options for progression.
6. To transition to the mount, secure upper body control by reaching for the head and arm, then walk your way up while keeping your legs clamped tightly.
7. Ensure you clamp above the opponent's knees for better control and to prevent them from wiggling free.
8. Keep your knees pinched, toes close together, and heels flat on the mat to maintain tight control and hinder the opponent's hip escapes and guard replacement.
