Spin Retention vs Back Step → Unbalance Sweep from X Guard
2 Part Lesson — Marcelo maintains his X-Guard against escapes: [I] Sense when your opponent is trying to escape from your hooks and activate your hooks to keep his leg taut; if he backsteps, tuck your head and invert to follow him over with control. [II] If your opponent flicks his leg in between your hooks to escape, try keeping your feet closer together to narrow the space. If he backsteps and you lose your hooks, shoot at least one hook to catch his leg to recover back your guard and possibly sweep.
