Grab the back of their shirt, pants, or belt to secure hook. Pull hook arm towards you while pushing on their chest with opposite arm to tip them backwards. Sit up to side control, maintaining hold of their leg until they kick it out first.

Knee on belly defense class 3:

• Defend with elbow and checked arm. Feed knee to center and put opponent in quarter guard. They knee cut to the right: immediately get the underhook, scoot under them for the roll (sweep).
• Defend with elbow and checked arm. Feed knee to center and put opponent in quarter guard. They knee cut to the left: shrimp re-guard.

Standing:

• Opponent goes for a bear hug over your arms and buckles your hip inwards: Shoot both inside arms to their hip and fully extend frames. Head is turned facing away from them while resting on their shoulder. One shuffle in the opposite direction your head is facing. Underhook across the back. Shoot in for hip toss.
• Spartan Shield Clinch: Opponent shoots in to bear hug, Spartan shield defense. “L” arms and shoot in for punch block clinch. Prep step takedown.
  • If they defend prep step takedown by stepping out– hip toss
