2 Part Lesson - Marcelo advances position from Headquarters to the 3/4–Mount for a Tripod Pass to Side Control or Mount: [I] Whether you can break your opponent's Cross Collar Grip or not, dedicate both of your hands to pushing the opponent's inside knee though your legs to fall into the Three-Quarter Mount Position. Find at least one Underhook (if not both of them if you can readily manage it) on either side of the opponent and use it (or them) to select a pass. Connect your hands together, collecting the opponent's head into your clinch so that you may then cut your knee across into Side Mount, or step on the opponent's hips with a Monkey-Foot to pry your inside leg free to Full Mount. [II] If you cannot find a stable underhook, cup behind the opponent's elbow as best you can and supplement your pressure with a grip on the opponent's belt/jacket. Use your grips to help pull you toward the ground and smear yourself like a glacier as you tripod out of the guard position.
