- Get an underhook - e.g. underhand wrist grip, elbow low, drive across with your body (lead with your head)
- Other arm crossfaces with a lat grip (expose the lat by cupping the shoulder and lifting with the underhook)
- Walk up the underhook and cup the head
- Lift uke's head with the crossface and cup your own elbow with the underhook hand
- Shrug to clear uke's arm
- Move to high mount and lean your forehead forward, toward the mat, smothering uke
