Advanced Lesson Part 1 of 2 -- Marcelo generates a massive lead from neutral standing: Starting from dual Collar & Elbow Control with your opponent, you can get ahead by taking the initiative and pulling yourself directly into an X-Guard Sweep. Take a step forward with your foot on the side of your Collar-Grip and kick your other foot up into a Butterfly-Hook for a lift. If your opponent stays upright rather than bent over in a defense posture, it will be much easier to place yourself into a Single-Leg X-Guard position. However, if your opponent succumbs to the Hook-Lift pressure and rises up off the mat from your pull, you can use your Butterfly-Hook to help guide your opponent's leg on top of your shoulder; release your control over their elbow and scoop underneath their leg with your arm as you reset your hooks onto their far leg for full X-Guard. Now that you have your opponent's base subverted, you can use your X-Hooks to blast forward and perform a Take-Up with their leg hoisted up in a Tree-Top Single-Leg; run them down and/or kick out their lone standing leg and bring them down to the mat. Be mindful of your remaining Collar-Grip as it poses as a potential Triangle threat if left unchecked; switch for a grip on their pants or even go for Double-Unders before this becomes a problem when you finish the X-Guard Take-Down Sweep (a.k.a. Joga-fora-no-Lixo, Take-Out-the-Trash, et al.).
