From side control (position 1), get to position 2. when your opponent brings his hands up to protect, roll your hips over his right arm, swim your left hand in front of his left hand and lock up the kimura grip and finish up with the americana, if that fails roll over onto north/south and go for the straight armlock.
From position 2 you can apply an armlock, throw your leg over his head to the other side of his face, your left hand does not grab his right arm but is placed on your hip, extend your hips up and sandwich his arm with your left arm and torso for the armlock.

you are in the de la riva position, you can grab your opponents sleeve (right) and his left lapel, or you can grab both sleeves, once you are in that position place your right foot above his knee cap, push with your right foot and pull his arms over your head for the sweep.
Remember to have his foot between your butt cheeks.
Another sweep from the de la riva position is to control the sleeve, with your left hand release his sleeve and grab his heel, unwind your left leg from his right leg and place your left foot on his hip, with your right foot hook it behind the bend of his right knee. Push with your left foot while holding onto his right heel an pull with your right foot for the sweep and finish the sweep between his legs with your right knee up ready for the pass.

mount drill
starting from side control, your hip pushing back his right arm, throw your leg over for the mount, grab his left arm, turn your right leg towards his left arm, swing your left leg over, you should be sitting on your shins with his arm trapped between your legs, slide back to side control and repeat from the opposite side
mount escape
your opponent mounts, quickly place your hands on his hips, feet go to your butt and bump up and quickly press him at the highest point of the bump, slide both knees between his legs and let his weight fall on them and roll on to your butt.
If you can’t get both feet between his legs but you can only get one (the left one) take your right foot and place it on his hips, push away with your right foot and go for a straight ankle lock, remember when applying this technique to roll to your right side and turn your head to your right and extend your back.

1. your opponent is on his right side with you on the back with a over under grip, with your left arm raise his left arm and swing your left leg over to get the first hook and roll over to your right side to get the second hook
2. your opponent is on his right side with you on the back with a over under grip, your opponent decides to roll to his knees, sneak your right leg around his right leg for the first hook and roll him over to get the 2nd hook.
3. your opponent is on his right side with you on the back with a over under grip, again your opponent decides to roll to his knees, hold tightly and backpack him, squeeze your knees together, if he rolls you roll.
All 3 techniques require that you place your chin in the crook of his traps and neck. Very important to have over unders.
