Pushing from bottom

Similar concept for the underhook. If bottom guy (guarded or pinned) beats me on the far side underhook, i tipically make sure their back is flat and i put weight on that underhook to negate it.
Pushing from bottom seems to have a couple of common denominators:
1.
One shoulder off the mat.
•
hard to get away from someone when every push you give them is immediately negated by gravity. Whereas getting on one hip and shoulder allows you to push laterally rather than just vertically, pushing the weight off of you.
2.
Weight distribution.
•
hard to push someone with 1 arm or leg when you're literally lifting their entire weight with one limb. Easier to first unbalance, make them place a portion of the weight on the mat, and then attempt to lift them.
