Counter opponent's underhook from half-guard

[Deleted member 53]

What do you do when the opponent, from their half-guard, gets an underhook and begins to escape from the bottom?

I normally use what I think is a whizzer on their underhook arm and just push their head down with my other hand and work them into a headlock/guillotine.

Normally this ends with them still escaping to their knees but I have control, a sort of front headlock position, to work from. So not all is lost.

I'm pretty sure the choke that's open as an option from here is the brabo choke. Does anyone have some pics or a video link for this technique?

The first night I ever went to jiu jitsu, we learned this counter.

What was taught to me was you take out their base, feed your arm under their neck, and grab your other arm's bicep with the arm being fed under their neck. With the arm whose bicep is being grabbed, grab his top-most shoulder, then put all your weight on top of him by sprawling out.

That is the brabo/d'arce choke

this is my favorite darce instructional. he doesn't do it from the half guard, but you can see how it applies.

Here's a couple options:
1) Posture up. Don't stay close without the underhook.
2) Overhook/whizzer and crossface to flatten
3) Brabo/Darce
4) Keep whizzer as he gets to his knees and transition to front headlock or guillotine or taking the back

NO-GI, go for the spinning choke (the brabo i think)

NO-GI, controll che lapel of the GI under the armpit with the arm that is in the side of his head and switch the hip to a kuzure kesa position (reverse scarf hold) and start to pass this way (like the video)
