arm and grab the wrist of your right hand (palm facing down).  Than pull his bent arm towards his legs and
up while lifting your left elbow up and keeping the opponents hand pinned to the ground. Remember not to
just lift his arm up; you have to make sure you slide it down. Use opposite arm if the opponent’s other arm
is bent.

5.  Straight Arm Kimura Lock (mount position) – while you are in the mount position and you try the first
move  but  your  opponent  straightens  out  his  right  arm,  first  switch  your  hands  by  pinning  his  right  hand

right arm from the outside (top) of his arm. Have your right arm under his arm, underneath his elbow and
grab the wrist of you left hand, and lift your right wrist up to lock your opponent’s right elbow up.

his right arm flailing around. First press your opponent’s right arm across his face and get in close to your
opponent with your head on the right side of your opponent and your chest pressed down on his right arm
to keep him from getting his arm loose. Then take your right arm and bring it under your opponent’s head
behind  his  neck  starting  from  his  left  side  (if  you  have  to  lift  his  head  with  your  left  hand,  do  so).  Make
sure there isn’t any space between your arm and his neck.  Then grab the crook of your left elbow and walk
your left hand up behind your head while flexing you arm muscles and squeezing your elbows together.  To
get better position jump to your left in the cross mount position while you have the choke and keep walking
towards his head while applying pressure.

If starting from just the cross mount first take your left hand and bring it on the inside (the bottom) of your
opponent’s  right  arm  which  at  the  time  should  be  tucked  in  and  scoop  his  right  arm  up  and over across
your opponent’s face.  Then take your left hand and hold your opponent’s right hand down with your left
hand and reposition your head back more to your left (on the right side of your opponent head, behind his
right arm) to hold your opponent’s right arm in place with your head and neck.  Then take your right arm
and bring it under your opponent’s head from his left side and behind his neck.  Make sure there isn’t any
space between your right arm and you opponent’s neck.  Than take you right hand and grab the crook of
you left elbow and then crank your left forearm up and walk your left hand behind your head, and flex you
arm  muscles  while  squeezing  your  elbows  together.  Also  make  sure  your  legs  are  perpendicular  to  your

grab the inside of your right thigh with your right hand and then swing your legs back down and push your
body  up  while  swinging  your  legs  down.    If  this  is  done  right  you  should  push  your  opponent  over  and
reverse him.  Make sure you make your abs tighten when you swing your body up.

8.  Hug Choke Kilp Reverse Escape  – if the first escape does not work follow the same steps as the first
Hug Choke Kilp Reverse Escape, but then if you can’t swing him over, as you swing up as far as you can,
take your legs and quickly roll them back over behind you with your legs angled out a bit to the left so you
don’t  roll  on  your  head.  Do  this  right  after  attempting  to  do  the  first  escape  so  it  can  give  you  the  right
amount of momentum.  Make sure you look towards your right shoulder while you roll.

9.  Cross Mount Side Bridge Escape – while someone has you in the cross mount on your right side with

to  the  left  a  little  so  you  end  up  in  the  right  position  at the end of the move, and bridge up on your right
shoulder  by  lifting  your  body  up  with  your  feet  and  leaning  on  your  right  shoulder.    Then  take  your  left

not over your left leg.  After that, take your right hand off of his waste and slide it under the right side of
your  body  posting  it  out  so  your  opponent  can’t  push  you back over onto your side. Then once you have
your left arm shot through and your right arm post back by sliding it under the right side of your body just
sit  back  onto  your  knees.    You  should  have  a  decent  amount  of  space  between  you  and  your  opponent.

motion.
