Arm and Leg choke from side control

Setup: Top with opponent in side control
Grip: Near arm under head on lapel, off arm trapping opponent's off arm,

Important points:

1.) From good side control run near arm under opponent's head and get lapel grip(thumb in and four fingers out).
2.) Off arm over opponent's off arm trapping... if possible!
3.) Switch base with bottom leg forward and top leg back.
4.) Lean forward..a little and pass top leg over to other side of opponent's head.
5.) Hook head and pull arm thru to finish submission.


Transition to Side choke

Note: Used if during the previous choke you opponent's off arm is freed and he pushing hooking leg off of head.

Steps 1-3 are the same
4.) Swing head in under opponent's off arm(the arm that is pushing the hook leg off) while bring ing the hand hold lapel around neck to opponent's off side.
5.) Switch base and bring bottom knee in and across opponent's off side.
6.) Finish the submission.
