Mount and side control

From Mount position, there are several attacks you can try for. This is from last week


Cross collar choke. This obviously only works with gi.
From mount, grab their lapel across from you, so not directly opposite, diagonally opposite (in my case, right hand). From there, punch it through to create some more material for you to grab. At this point, you can post on your head to stop them from bridging and rolling you. Move to the opposite side (so to the left posting on your head and with your left arm. Grab their collar with your left hand, thumb in,  and swing your left forearm arm around their head, keeping the grip and across their neck. From there, post on your head, and tighten for the choke. The following video explains it pretty well

Arm bar
Another potential move is to set them up for an arm bar after getting into S mount. From mount, bring your left arm behind their head and push your shoulder into their head to turn their head. Grip their shoulder with your left arm and keep it tight. From there, hook your right arm under their elbow and spider crawl it up over their head, keep your hands close to the floor and use your fingers to bring it up. Once above their head, bring your knee up to keep it pinned against their head. Proceed to do the same on the opposite side. You end up in a high mount with their arms pinned high. Keep your right knee against their head whilst your left leg shifts so the outside of your foot is on the ground. Keep it tight. From S mount, grab hold of their arm, push your left leg over their head and sit back into an arm bar. If done very tightly, it doesn't give your opponent much of an opportunity to escape.

Submissions 101 has a great breakdown.

Gotta try and keep updating!
Tonight we learnt about side control. Points included:

• Keep your weight on the side of the body which you're on. Putting it too far forward is prone to sweep.
• Hips down to keep the weight on.
• Shoulder into their face to push it across and stop them from hip escaping away. 
• Push their elbow up with your knee closest to their head and trap it between your shin and the floor to allow for Figure 4, Cutting arm bar or Kimura.
• Kimura requires the leg closest to their head over their head, so from the above, you need to switch your feet that is locking their arm down to allow you to put your leg over their head to finish it. Bring them up on their side once the arms are locked in to complete the lock.
• Cutting arm bar has a similar hand position to the Kimura. The left arm threads under their arm, grips the right wrist. Left arm needs to be just above the elbow. Right arm gripping the wrist. Keep the weight on their opposite arm and push your head against the arm to complete the cutting arm bar. Their thumb should be pointing to the ceiling.
