start small and finish big: When it comes to taking your opponents back, it almost always begins with a small movement that gets you outside an opponent's elbow, some other small movement that creates the possibility of full back exposure – this is your crucial foot in the door – it gives you the possibility of back control but not the actuality. Then there is a big decisive movement where you take the back followed by the task of cementing back control and controlling your opponent from there. Get used to this process of creating possibility with a small but crucial movement by beating your opponents elbow or head or spinning inverted between his knees and coming out the back door and then capitalizing with a sudden big movement to the back and finish by clamping into the great new position you've gained. Understand that like most big events in life – it begins with a small event that creates possibilities and then you have to show the skill and confidence to make it an actuality.
