Back Control
Back control is the end goal of most modern systems. The attacker uses the seatbelt grip, hooks or a body triangle to stay attached while hand fighting for the neck. The defender protects the neck, fights the hands and works to get their shoulders to the mat. Everything about back control is about the hand fight.
