I really like this video because I was wondering why the hell they were escaping from my back mount which is my specialty, when I had both hooks in. When they lean back on one side they are putting a lot of pressure on you and your hooks are only staying in with leg power (not gravity) so it is a lot easier for them to get hooks off when they lean back because they can also turn to alleviate the pressure not just try to pull hooks off with their arms/legs. There is almost no way to hold someone for very long with just your hooks if they are turning their whole body and laying on top of you. I thought I was taught that it is ALWAYS better to have both hooks in instead of the leg triangle or other positions, but this video was a big wake-up call that the triangle leg position isn't always bad and is useful in certain scenarios like where they may escape with both hooks. I feel priority number one when you got someone's back is: maintain your back position as long as possible so you have more time to go for a choke which translates to a higher rate of submission. You are always going to eventually choke them if they do not get out of back mount unless they somehow armbar you or something when you have their back.

A scientific approach to BJJ.
Is there a part one?
