Top half guard when they win the underhook, in the gi
Read the stage; a hand on his neck and a hand on his hip; lift your back until the arms are straight; re-pummel elbow first; crossface and flatten him.

Taking the back when they turn away from the pass, in the gi
Chest to his back the moment he turns away, the seatbelt locked low, drive and wait for him to try to come up, the foot through the gap, roll, the second hook, hold.

Sweeping from underhook half guard when they whizzer, in the gi
Come up with the knee out and his leg hooked and squeezed, the underhook hand on his hip, the free hand to his far knee, twist his trapped leg back with your head in his chest and your hip forward, land with the hook and the hip, step the leg out, the collar, side control.

Sweeping from established deep half guard, in the gi
Under his leg with your head on his lap and his hand already on your knee, take his cuff with the scoop hand, keep it with the other over the top, hook under his arm, kick the leg free of his grip, walk to the side and pull his arm down, take him over when he leans, land on your side and come up on your knees on top.

Finishing from the back in the gi: the bow and arrow against the hand fight
Back control with the seatbelt and his hands on your choking wrist: the elbow over his shoulder, the lapel fed to the choking hand and turned out, the foot on the hip, the hook across, the leg grabbed, ninety degrees seated, the leg over the shoulder and the elbow to the hip.

Finishing from the back no-gi: the rear naked choke against the hand fight
Back control with one arm under and one over, the strangle fist covered, and his two hands on your strangle wrist: the top hand stripped by the pinky line, the thumb line or the screwdriver, his hand punched down and the arm deep, the strangle hand anchored behind his far shoulder or in the goose neck and covered by your head, the second hand extracted hand over hand into the figure four, the wrist caught answered by the finger walk and the hand caught by his hands jacked high, and the elbow rotated toward the hip to the tap.

Escaping the back in the gi: from the seatbelt and hooks to guard or the top
Back control with the seatbelt and hooks, before the choke: both hands on his choking wrist, the elbow clamped on his underhook arm, the fall to the underhook side, the bottom hook kicked out with the foot and his ankle trapped, the head on the floor and the back scraped flat, the turn into him to his guard, or the bridge and the half guard when he climbs to mount.
