A class on escaping half guard from on top then securing side control.
The key point involved using one arm to pin the opponent's chest to the mat so he can't move onto his hip, then using the other hand to grab his near arm at the elbow of the gi and driving it into the opponent's rib cage.
Using the handles on the opponent to twist and secure his body in this way makes it easier to escape the trapped leg then slip into side control.
If the opponent posture up, you can swap hands and go deep on his gi collar with your arm along his chest, then grab the back of his shoulder and sink down for a choke.
I wasn't too clever at specific positional sparring today, but I did OK in normal sparring. I set up a nice choke and a nice wrist lock and I escaped a full mount and a turtle position.
Things to remember: Arm across chest to set up choke.
