1. With hand that is farthest away from opponent’s face, reach under and cup opponent’s elbow

3. Pivot your knee (that is farthest away from opponent’s head towards their head) so that your foot is under their shoulder you are trapping
4. Use your free hand to push past their face to make them turn, your hand should pass them and be on the ground or near it and be applying pressure with your forearm

Near side armbar, arm is outside hooking your body

1. Get head control and push them forward on their side

4. With the hand that is not holding their hook you can pull on their arm towards you for more pressure/tension
5. Bring leg that didn’t pivot over opponent’s face
