Side Control

once you pass guard-

reactions-

they lift your crossface arm
-lift higher and free, they can only go so far with their reach
-lift slightly, step, and switch hips- drive thigh into tricep and hip them in the face

they go for underhook
-drive weight down on wrist- shift a little backwards, make it hard to lift you
-weave arm through their far leg, kill the underhook

they get underhook and turn to knees
-weave arm through legs to block
-crossface like crazy
-attack brabo choke

they frame your body and push into you
-shift and attack with the hips to triceps

they establish posture with arm across hip and arm across neck
-either go over or under the arm- drive hips down on wrist or lift arm and smash arm across face by driving along tricep line

they bridge like crazy-
-establish strong crossface as you pass
-grip across collar and drive elbow down to mat. if they bridge, they choke themselves.
-flow on top of their face with hips
-use transition to move to other position, like mount


keys-
-you want your weight centered on upper torso
-trying to get hips as high as possible
-strong crossface!
-underhook if possible
-flow around them, but stay heavy and mobile
-counter everything they do
-use hips to attack

attack- kimura
once you get hips high on torso, switch from crossface to grabbing under the tricep- look for kimura opening if arm comes out.

attack- diaphragm smash
-deep arm underneath them leaves you open to being rolled possibly- step and switch hips, attack face with hips
