  2. Opponent grabs your right wrist with their right hand and you snake your right hand to the right grabbing the top of opponent’s forearm and turning it over to the right to make them bow down at the same time putting your left elbow on top of their right elbow stepping back to bow them down more and you left elbow attack their spine yelling EIGHT!

Side Mount (positional control)


Roll Prevention: Opponent on his back and we’ll use his right side for example: you are on his right side about chest high perpendicular to his body with your left leg posted straight out perpendicular with knee slightly bent and your right leg fully extended with the top of the thigh on the ground with your left arm under his neck and your right arm under his left armpit and clasp both of your hand together. If he tries to bridge/roll you over to his left (you can tell when he pushes your left side with his right elbow or bear hugs you) you post your right hand on ground and if he bridges the other way your left posted leg with stop it. If he turns in a circle in either direction, turn/walk with him. 


Guard Prevention:If he uses his right arm to push your hips up enough to get guard or you feel his right knee coming under your legs you switch your legs so your left leg is parallel with his body to prevent guard. If he puts his left arm across your throat you push it past your head kind to trap it.


Full Mount Transition: Get on your knees and put your left knee into his right armpit so your leg is under his arm then place your left knee across his gut then your right arm posts to the ground and shift your weight forward until your right knee is on the ground slide it south as possible and turn your body to the left and your right leg with slap the ground putting you in mount and you shoot your right knee to his armpit and if his legs push the ground knees coming up then insert your hooks.


Rear Naked Choke: (sleeper hold) you shoot your arm deep around their neck in a strangling position under their chin (your elbow lined up with chin) then you take your other hand and put it behind their head to push it forward as you pinch both of your elbows together squeezing the rear naked choke until they tap out.
