Born on April 8, 1985, Leo Tunico is one of the most talented BJJ competitors of his generation, having found success in the IBJJF's biggest events, especially at the base ranks. Also trained in judo, he teaches at Renzo Gracie Academy, all while maintaining a career as a DJ.
When we are on all fours in a BJJ match, we must protect our neck against choke attempts, as well as close up the gaps so that our opponent can't get the hooks in with their legs. Note that Rolles Gracie only starts moving once he is sure these criteria are met. Then he quickly shrimps to the side and right after, with an abrupt motion, repositions himself with his back on the ground, playing guard.
The moment Rolles starts moving his hips to escape the all-fours position and try to restore his guard, he notices that there is room to underhook his opponent, advancing his left arm flush with his opponent’s armpit. Note how Rolles uses the underhook as a support point to take his opponent down with his back against the ground, ending up in side control.
To escape the all-fours position migrating to the half-guard, Leo Tunico controls (by the sleeve) the hand with which his opponent is trying to choke him. In parallel, he grips his opponent's pants and thus manages to follow his movement. Watch how he shrimps laterally, reaching a position transversal to his opponent's body. That's how he finds sufficient space to underhook and trap his opponent on half-guard.
