• Start from the guard

Start with your opponent in your guard. Feed your hands under your opponents armpits.

Using your arms AND legs pull your opponent over your head...
• Over your head

You want your opponents weight over your head. Now with your right hand reach for his opposite shoulder...
• Grab the shoulder

Now grab the gi at the shoulder (the deeper the better).
• Create space

Drop your right leg and slide your hips out to create space.
• Grab the knee

Your left hand reaches underneath and grabs your opponents gi at the far knee (your opponents left).
• Start the reverse

In one movement; pull the gi at the shoulder, kick with your leg and pull the gi at the knee...
• Roll over

Your opponent will rollover exposing his back...
• Sit up

Just sit him up and the back is yours.
