Your opponent has you in side control, he has head control and he has one arm between your legs. Place your right hand on his hip, try to get the left arm under his chin and grab place your hand on his left shoulder. Shrimp out, with the space created, bring your right knee across his belly. Throw your left leg over his shoulders. Straighten out your back, while using your knees to break his grip on you. You can pull guard, go for a choke or grab his sleeves.
An alternate would be, to push his head away and throw up a triangle, if he loosens his grip go for a kimura, if he tries to escape by placing his head on the mat, place your right elbow across his belt and roll him over, do not open your legs, once you are on top of him, switch arm control, replace your left arm with your right arm, press your head tight to his arm, place the blade of your arm under his tricep but below his elbow and go for an armbar. You can also finish on top with a kimura.

Collar Choke
Scenario: starting from side control
- right hand goes on hip, left hand under his head
- go to north south position
- left hand work it under your opponents arm and grab his lapel (fingers inside)
- when your opponent reaches for your hand that is on his hip take it away and grab his lapel (thumb inside), pull up and bring your elbow down
- penguin feet, knees together and start walking counter clockwise
right ear to his chest so that he can’t push you away
Kimura
Scenario: starting from side control
- if your opponents arm is on the right side of your head use your right arm and grap the left side of your lapel (if your opponents arm is on the left side use your left arm and grap your right lapel)
- step over his head and turn him onto his right side
- get your left knee down, right knee is over his right arm
pinch your knees together
- work your left hand under your right arm
- let go with your right hand
- lock the kimura grip
- straighten the back
- pull the arm up and to his back and then down
If you are using your left hand to secure his arm follow the same steps as above. The only difference is you don’t have to work your hand under your right arm. You are just skipping that step and going straight to the kimura lock

Scenario: you are in position 3 (north south) on top of your opponent
- you are in your position 3 holding position
- place your left hand under his left arm and rest it on his chest
- turn him to his right side by walking your legs around him
- slide your left leg across his back and swing your right leg over his face
- while going backwards bring your left knee up and pinch your knees together and place your left hand to your shoulder and your right hand to your ribs for the arm bar
If your opponent recognizes he is going to be arm barred and locks his hands together
- place a kimura grip on his left arm
- using your hips and shoulders twist to the right and up to break his grip

Todays class we worked on the kimura grip and getting used to applying it. We worked applying it on the ankle and obviously the arm.

My 30 minute private from Dustin “Clean” Denes. I asked help on knee on belly.
Knee on belly:
- starting from side control, your left hand is behind his head, your right knee to his hip, right hand makes a grip on his belt or on the top of his gi pants (make a fist)
- make a fist with your right hand and push down on his belly button
- pop up and place your knee right on his stomach, keep your left fist on the mat, this will prevent him from coming up
- keep your left hand under his head, keep your back straight, right knee/shin is perpendicular to his belt, left knee is bent and is perpendiculat to your opponents head
- with your left hand grab your opponents sleeve and push it across his body, your left arm should be over his arm, adjust your grip if you have to, with your right hand grab the gi material on the inside of his right knee push away on his knee, this prevents him from turning into you.
From this position you can advance to a kimura:
- slide your left knee off his belly, keep your weight on him
- walk or swing your left leg around to north south position, stay on your toes
- right hand releases the knee and work it under his right arm
- get on your knees, your left hand releases the sleeve and grabs the wrist and now you lock in the kimura grip
- pull up and turn to the right for the submission
*Note: Stay in the center, if you lean to far over either way you can get swept
