Side control- getting past the frame...

notes-

no gi- better to go half guard first. you start with the crossface and upper body control already. otherwise it's easy for them to move around and escape.

getting past the arm frame- rip elbow inside from the over grip- it's weaker and will help collapse the arm. for bottom arm- get hips underneath and kick leg, shifting hips to collapse the arm.

must recognize common escapes per each pass and figure out how to counter them- turtle, bridge and roll, etc.

rolling notes-

-rubber guard- from standard control- if they're just sitting there- pendulum sweep with rubber guard control locked up.
-gotta be more aggressive once i have submissions locked up. i've had a lot of submissions lately that i just sort of let go or didn't commit to even though i could've easily finished them.
-the passing is good. gotta work on not getting reversed from side control, though.
