Side Control to North South, Knee-On-Belly, Taking the Back vs Single Leg
3 Part Lesson — Marcelo secures the top position against several escape attempts: [I] If your opponent pummels for a Reverse Underhook while underneath in Half Guard to ghost out on top, either run your hips back and drive heavy with your Underhook & Head Control or switch to the North/South Position; concentrate effort toward controlling his hips and preventing him from trying to skin-the-cat onto your back. [II] If you lose control as he spins underneath you after the pass, immediately pop up for Knee-On-Belly. If he turns to turtle, capture the Seatbelt; if he turns back into you, pummel for the Underhook and pin him down in Side Control. [III] If your opponent turns into you and you miss the Underhook, quickly avoid his Single Leg counter by spinning around to the opposite side for his Back. If he turns under your North/South Control for the Single, sprawl your leg free and run away from his arms toward the Seatbelt.
