Knee slice, armbar

  1. Put hand on hip, make sure elbow is in the leg making a frame
  2. Slide across to the side your hand is not on (if you put your right hand on opponent’s left hip, your right knee would slice across opponent’s right knee)
  3. If opponent overhooks, you can use the hand you were using as a frame to slide up and underhook their shoulder/upper arm
  4. Step over opponent and turn to armbar

Side control Cross face/body farside kimura

  1. One hand on opponent’s hip and on over the head controlling the arm, pulling it towards you
  2. Pull the arm towards you getting opponent sideways
  3. Step over in a north south position and get kimura grip

Near side armbar, arm is inside pushing against your face/neck

  2. Maintain pressure with your head and pin it to their body
  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
