  1. He defends the shoulder pressure with both arms: do not insist, drop down to the hips.
  2. Release the head wrap, lower your chest and encircle his waist.
  3. Bring one hand under the trapped leg and join hand to hand; if needed, lift his leg slightly.
  4. Fit your shoulder below the sternum, on the diaphragm, and keep your head looking to the outside.
  5. Transfer all your weight into the shoulder and stretch both legs back into the sprawl.
  6. The pressure forces him to open the half guard triangle; take your leg to the side opposite your head.
  7. Advance slowly on your knees until you control his hips first, preventing guard recovery.
  8. Then control the shoulder, stabilize side control and confirm the three points for the pass.
