Toreada Pass to Back Take (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri explains how to take an opponent's back when he defends against the toreada pass by bringing his knee inside. With one hand gripping near the hip and the other gripping the knee, Lucas circles to the side of the grip on the knee. When the opponent defends by framing, Lucas traps the opponent's bottom leg with his shin and keeps his head and arm inside of the opponent's other leg. In this situation the opponent is able to bring his knee inside to defend, so Lucas switches his grip from the hip to the opponent's lower back and applies pressure with his shoulder. He then takes two short steps and hops over the opponent's legs to the back side. Lucas then secures the seatbelt grip, forces the opponent to turn to the mat, enters his bottom hook, and drags the opponent back with the help of his other leg. If he is unable to enter the second hook right away, Lucas maintains control of the opponent's hips and extends his body to create the necessary space to secure the second hook and finish the back take.
