Rolling Sweep of a turtled opponent: (needs loose gi)
1. Line up behind and to-the-side of him, your inner knee pushing/trapping his ankle against his body.
1'. Before, during, or after (1): Pass his close-side gi tail into your far hand, drawing pressure down toward the hip to control. Make sure your elbow is high (towards the ceiling) and back, so he can't grab on and roll you through.
2. Using your free hand (the outside one), pry his knee out, challenging his base. Ideally you want him tilted slightly forward while creating a hole between knees and elbows.
3. Reach that hand between his calf and thigh (starting from the back/close and ending front/far) and hook as deeply as possible.
4. Dive your head into the hole you created in (2), tucking and rolling. He will briefly roll on top, then over into your side control. Keep a hold on the leg you have hooked, as well as the gi tail, to prevent him rolling away.
5. Secure your favorite side control.
Standard choke of a turtled opponent:
1. Line up behind and to-the-side of him, your inner knee pushing/trapping his ankle against his body. Far arm around his back and control either with motorcycle control on his far forearm, or a deep overhook/half nelson.
2. Use the free hand to open the near lapel, then sneak the far arm under his chin and grab deeply in the collar, thumb in. Other hand grabs the far lapel below.
3. Pulling the far lapel down towards his belly button to take up any slack, twist the collar to set the grip and pull up-and-out for the choke.
Clock choke of a turtled opponent:
1. Line up behind and to-the-side of him, your inner knee pushing/trapping his ankle against his body. Far arm around his back and control either with motorcycle control on his far forearm, or a deep overhook/half nelson.
2. Use the far hand to open the far lapel, then sneak the near arm under his chin and grab deeply in the collar, thumb in.
3. Pulling up-and-out, bring the back leg under and through, swinging through until your hip is resting on his trapezius/neck. If needed, step your front leg over again, finishing the choke.
Reverse clock choke of a turtled opponent: (when he defends his neck against the regular clock choke)
1. Instead of fighting against his defense, reach the OTHER arm around and secure a deep, thumb-in grip on the other lapel. Immediately grab motorcycle control of the lapel-side forearm.
2. Circle around behind and secure hip control on the other side.
3. Finish the clock choke: Pulling up-and-out, bring the back leg under and through, swinging through until your hip is resting on his trapezius/neck. If needed, step your front leg over again, finishing the choke.
