2-Part Fundamental Lesson -- Paul briefly instructs an important detail regarding connected reactions while passing: After knocking your opponent backwards from seated upright to lying recumbent, use your hands to post against their stomach and knee as you circle around their feet to drop down into Side-Control. If your opponent meets your advance by framing with their hands against your upper-body, be ready to insert your near-side shin along their torso for Knee-on-Belly. If their near-side knee tries to wedge itself inside to protect the space against your control, you can even use your shin to scrape back their leg to make room for your Knee-Mount. Deflect the remaining frames from your chest and settle down into a tight Side-Control position directly from the Knee-on-Belly. [1:25] If your opponent attempts to pronate and turns over onto their side while you are approaching Knee-on-Belly and/or Side-Control, you can quickly take advantage of their back-exposure by cutting your far-elbow behind their far-arm and swinging yourself around their head to get behind your opponent. Stabilize your Back-Control by keeping your chest tight against their upper-back with Seat-Belt Control; if your opponent turns over onto their knees, you can drag them back onto your lap and set your Back-Hooks. If they don't turn and feel light to lift, you can raise their torso up off the mat and throw your hooks in against their seated position. If they feel too heavy to lift with just your arms alone, you can step across into a modified mount (Technical-Mount, et al.) and use your foot to push off the mat to roll them back onto your hooks for the Full Back-Mount Position.
