1. Jimmy (white gi) has a hold of Bobby’s left lapel with his right hand. Bobby attempts to go for a seionage throw, but Jimmy is able to block it.

2. Bobby is now on his knees and Jimmy is above him, still clutching Bobby’s collar so he has control of the neck. 

3. With full control of Bobby’s neck, Jimmy elects to take Bobby’s back and attempt a British strangle. He then steps his left foot over, under and accross Bobby’s waist, similar to sinking in a hook.

4. Still holding the lapel, Jimmy rolls through on his left shoulder, hooking Bobby’s left knee with his left arm as he does.

5. Jimmy leans to his left to try and complete the submission as Bobby attempts to defend the choke. However, Jimmy stops that by using his foot to hook Bobby’s right arm and grabs Bobby’s left with his left hand. Jimmy continues to lean to the left and Bobby eventually succumbs to the submission.
