Vs. Single Leg X

Transitioning from the Single Leg X to a back take involves several steps to effectively clear the opponent's hooks and gain the correct angle for a Berimbolo or leg drag entry.

1. Begin by clearing the opponent's top hook off your hip to prevent them from maintaining control.
2. Keep the cleared leg pinned down to stop the opponent from re-establishing the hook.
3. Turn slightly away from the opponent and step in with your left foot, pinching your knees on their right leg to secure the position.
4. Roll over your right shoulder while making a grip on the opponent's pants or belt with your left hand.
5. Adjust your legs as necessary to end up underneath the opponent, ready to transition into a Berimbolo or leg drag position.
6. From this position, you can either twist into a Berimbolo or use the leg drag to take the back.
7. If starting from standing and the opponent has a strong Single Leg X, use the same process to clear the hook and roll to get underneath them.
8. After clearing the hook, turn to your left and step back with your left foot while squatting down.
9. Switch your grips: the hand that was on the opponent's knee goes to their hip, and your left hand grabs their pants.
10. Roll over your right shoulder into the Berimbolo, from where you can proceed to a leg drag or directly to taking the back with a twister hook and securing the seat belt grip.
