3 Part Lesson — Marcelo counters the Seated Single with Passing: [I] Keep your opponent down off of a Single by picking up his leg, stepping over it, knocking him back, and cutting across with and Underhook when he opens his elbow for the Knee Slide Pass. [II] If you gain the nearside Underhook, drive your knee to the outside and connect your hands together for Reverse Underhook and Head Control in Mount; if he catches you in ¼ Guard, you can cut your free leg across for the Knee Across Pass into Side Control. Alternatively, you can use your shin to pry yourself out into Mount with the reduced friction of Nogi. [III] If your encounter difficulty drilling the Knee Across, remember that your partner must react as if wanting to finish the Single, and not play guard where his leg can interfere. Also, if your head doesn't fit on the side of the Nearside Underhook initially, just reposition it back there after you land for the remainder of the pass.
