00:18 - An invariant of finishing a rear naked choke is we need the proper alignment. What this means is we need chest to back connection with our opponent. We also need our head and strangle arm on opposite sides of our opponent's head. The minute our head and strangle arm are on the same side, we can no longer threaten a RNC. These 2 factors mean we are properly aligned with our opponent to apply a RNC.

00:00 - When trying to do a knee cut to pass the guard, we are often met with a strong knee shield by the guard player. As the top player, to get around the knee shield, we can post on their shoulder and their shin as we step over their knee shield leg putting ourselves in a butterfly half guard. Then, we switch sides and shuffle our feet as we leg drag their knee shield leg. If at any time the bottom player lets their knee drift away from their chest, we can enter the smash pass position. If they are doing the right thing, keeping their knee to their chest, then we will leg drag.

03:01 - From turtle, the top player inserts the far hook first and then follows the roll over the far shoulder resulting in a back take on the overhook side with just a bottom hook. He throws in the top hook to complete the back take for 4-Points.
