Covering the takedown he was able to hit on Buchecha at ADCC, Xande begins behind his opponent from standing position with his arms wrapped around the waist, and his opponent bracing himself with his hands on the floor. With his head on one side of his opponent, Xande brings his far leg across and hooks his foot on the outside of the ankle. Next he simply falls back and rolls to the side, using his hook the same as he would for a classic hook sweep. Now he can leave his hook where it is, come up on his knee and finish in a leg drag position.

From standing, Kade grabs the cross collar and sleeve grips on Tye.

As he turns and steps in, he raises Tye's arm and places it on his shoulder. He drops to his knees and pulls down on the collar and sleeve. Because Tye's arm is across his body, he will have a very difficult time trying to take Kade's back. Now Kade leans forward and pulls Tye over his body to finish the takedown.
