BJJ Fundamentals 22 in class. Continued on the same theme as Thursday, basic responses to mount. This time instead of rolling them for a rear Naked Choke we took the arm bar option.

From Short base side control, controlling the head, move to knee ride, then through to mount.

1) From mount smother our opponent forcing him to push us away, crush him down and spin through for the arm bar.

2) From mount, force our opponent to cover up, roll him onto his side with our chest behind his arm. Secure his left arm across his face and behind his head (Arm Wrap). Feed our left hand under his armpit and secure his wrist with both hands. Free our right hand up and post it directly in front of his face. Control his left arm with our left and spin through for the arm bar.

3) From mount, secure the Arm Wrap again, this time feed our left hand through and secure our own right wrist. Dismount behind our opponent, move to his head; rise up on our right foot. Then as one move, pop our right elbow from behind our opponent’s head, kneel on his right arm, and apply the Kimura. Hug the upper arm to our body and keep the forearm parallel to the ground, rotate to our left.

All of the above can be done from the side control start, transitioning to mount, then depending on our opponent’s action or reaction we can apply one of the above moves.
