2on1 Seatbelt from Back → Crucifix Armbar from Back
2 Part Lesson — Marcelo attributes his inordinate success with escaping from the back to his training partners' lack of legitimate threats with the Crucifix Armbar: [I] When finishing the Crucifix Armbar against the Turtle Position, don't let your weight slide distally from the opponent's shoulder; drop your hip weight slightly above the elbow to avoid letting the wrist slip free from your Figure-Four. [II] If your opponent prevents you from finishing with the Figure-Four by cradling your leg so tightly that you cannot sprawl free, utilize the 2on1 Seatbelt Control to break his grip and help free your knee.
