Shoulder lock guard to shoulder lock, wrist lock, to arm bar

You got your opponent in a shoulder lock guard. Try to keep them down by holding their neck.  The opponent's arm that is trap in the middle of your body will be the submitting arm.

1A. With the opponent's palm facing up, move your head, body and their arm toward the same trap arm. If the left arm is trap, your head move left toward their feet.
1B. Your leg move the opposite way.

2. Wrist lock is very painful, be careful. If you trap their left arm, your left hand is gripping their wrist. Your right hand will be place behind their hand. Fold their hand toward them, use your right hand to create more pressure. Use your leg to pull them in and sit up to make it tighter.

3. Armbar - Your arm (opposite of the trap shoulder) will cross the opponent's trap wrist and grab your shoulder to secure the hold. Your other arm(trap shoulder side) will put pressure on the opponent's neck/under jaw line area. It should move their head away toward their trap shoulder.
Scoot your butt out (same side the trap shoulder) and move your head toward their knee. Outside leg, wrap around their face tightly (like grinding their face with your back leg)
toward you and clamp down on their neck and back. Lift your hip up to submit.

Guard break, side step, mount, and side control X-steps

Your in the guard and you eventually broke down the opponent's guards. One or two hands on their shoulder. When you transition, have both hands on their shoulder to keep the opponent down.

Step 1 - After having one knee over the opponent's leg, your inside foot will go over your own ankle.

Step 2 - Opponent shrimp out. You would slide the inside knee over the opponent's leg. Now both of your leg are clasp together.

Step 3 - Your opponent is laying down on their back or trying to sweep you, you would open up and mount over the opponent. Step 4 - If the opponent is trying to push you over or escape to the side, post one leg out and the other knee on their chest area. The knee create discomfort and it usually cause a reaction from the oponent. Step 5 - If the opponent is trying to shrimp out, move your knee, or your trying to get on your stronger side, move your outside leg to their ribs. The leg that was on the chest will post out.

Long, fat leg/people push their leg out.

Thai Clinch

Thai Clinch is a very useful way to control your opponent's head and movement.

1. One or two hands place behind the opponent's head (not neck) with your palm facing you.

2. Bring your elbows together and/or to your mid-section. It help create control.

3. Your position: Head up facing the opponent overlooking their shoulder and back straight.

Tips: When in clinch, bring your elbow together and toward your mid-section will cause the opponent to bend over. That will cause the opponent to be unbalance and uncomfortable.
Looking forward will add weight onto the opponents head/neck
