Marcelo helps improve Yuta's Folding-Pass and subsequent Back-Take with heavy, smashing top pressure. When implementing a Folding-Pass (Body-Lock Pass, Smash-Pass, Rugby-Pass, Shoulder-Pass, Koshigatame, et al.), make your grips high up around your opponent's torso and connect your chest/head/shoulder above their waist after pinning their legs together with your hips. Doing so will make it harder for your opponent to sit-up or develop a defensive frame or post against your advance. If your opponent tries to stand up, you can always reach low and lift up their leg to bring them back down, and then return back to a grip higher up on their body. If they try to scoot away from your pressure, get up onto your toes and drive forward into them, as if pushing from behind a car set in neutral. If they begin to expose their back as a way to escape, don't dive and lose tempo trying to follow their initiated retreat. Instead, stick close and make a Horse-Collar Grip near the nape of their neck on the back of their jacket's collar. This will help you stay close as they turn away so you can easily transition to their back for an attack, e.g. a Clock-Choke. What you want to avoid is allowing your opponent a chance to develop momentum for an escape by rolling with them and slipping away from the control of your previously held, dominant positioning.
