3 Part Lesson -- Marcelo maintains his advantage: Keep in mind the idea to finish strongly when you near consolidating a position. For example, if you run North/South against and inverted guard and dig inside to pass, you can't let up and allow your opponent to recover back a winning position. Distribute your weight on your opponent's torso and avoid making room around your hips so that your opponent doesn't Skin-the-Cat to your back. Pummel an Overhook to gain access to the neck for the North/South Choke. If your opponent is pushing your hip away on the side of your Underhook, move your legs so that his or her hands slips off or can no longer push you away.
