Side Control to Arm Triangle

Here is an arm triangle set up that I use all the time from side control. In the video I'll show the move, then break it down, then show it one more time. Helping me out is LockFlows own Kevinlace.

• Side Control

Staring off in side control; make sure your right arm in under your opponents left armpit and you have control of his right arm.
• Step over

Keeping your right hip on the mat, step over your opponents head with your outside (left) leg. You want him to be thinking armbar.
• Opponent grabs your leg

Naturally; your opponent will grab your leg to take it off his head...
• Opponent pushes your leg off

As your opponent pushes your leg off, your left arm will go over the arm that is pushing the leg...
• Under his head

and then feed your left arm under his head...
• Clasp your hands

Clasp your hands and start to turn back to traditional side control on your knees.
• Squeeze for the submission

When squeezing for the submission try to apply the presser closer to the elbow then the ball of the shoulder for a quicker submission.
