4. Figure 4 Key Lock Submission (mount position) – from the mount position while your opponent’s right
arm is up and bent on the ground. Take your right hand and grab the wrist of your opponents right arm
(palm facing down) pinning his hand down to the floor, then take your left hand and go under his right bent
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
down with your left hand palm facing down. Then take your right hand and bring it under your opponent’s
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.

6. Hug Choke (mount and cross mount) – While you have the mount position on your opponent and he has
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
opponent and spread with a good base, so he doesn’t roll you over.

7. Hug Choke Kilp Escape – while someone has you in a hug choke from the cross mount position on
your right side. First make space by taking your right arm that is over you face and make a fist then grab
your right fist with your left hand and push your elbow into you opponent. Then swing your legs up and
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
his legs in, first make sure you are in the right position to protect your self by being on your right side and
having your left arm under your opponent holding his right arm or have it in between your opponent’s right
arm and body. You should also have your right hand on the left side of his waste. Then scoot your legs out
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

hand and slide it through past your opponent’s waste in front of you while shooting your right leg under
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.
Also, make sure you don’t ever go flat on your stomach, and make sure every step is done in one fluid
motion.

10. Cross Mount Side Roll Over Escape – while someone has you in a cross mount on your right side with
his legs in and you first try to do the side bridge escape, but your opponent tries to push you back. What
you want to do is first attempt the side bridge escape and as the person pushes you back. Take your right
hand that is on his waste and bring it down onto his left knee, and when your opponent pushes you back
over turn with him toward your left while pushing on your opponent’s left leg to roll him over you. While

cross mount position.

11. Cross Mount Trap Leg Roll over Escape – while someone has you in the cross mount position on your
right side with his legs out and you are on your side with your hands in the right position. Take your right
hand and place it on your opponents right inside thigh and push it to the left while bringing your right leg in
between his legs and wrapping it around his right leg. Then take your right hand and cup under his left knee
and start scooting your body under your opponent with little scoots and than roll him over you by pushing
his left leg with your right hand on an angle towards you’re your legs. Than as he goes over get the make
sure you clear your right leg out from in between your opponent’s legs so you can obtain the cross mount
position.

your right side with his legs out and you are on your side with your hands in the right position. Take your
right hand and place it on your opponents right inside thigh and push it to the left while bringing your right
leg in between his legs and wrapping it around his right leg. After you hook your opponent’s right leg with
your right leg, grab his left knee with your right hand and attempt to roll your opponent over your left side.
When he posts his hand out to stop you, while you have his left leg raised up, quickly push your opponent’s
left leg to the left and get your right leg through on the outside of his left leg and adjust your body to get

his right leg with you left leg.



15. Safety in Guard position – wrap your legs around him while on your back and pull him in with your
legs causing your opponent to be restricted. When your opponent is close to you he doesn’t have enough
room to have affective strikes. Also when your legs are open in the guard position you want to keep your
opponent, as far away from you as possible so he can’t reach you with his strikes.

16. Escape from Guard (standing up) – while opponent has you in guard position grab that back of his head

17. Counter while in Guard to head pull – if you have your opponent in your guard and he starts to pull on
the back of your head. Grab the back of his had and pull it down into your chest and start walking you legs
up his back to his shoulders while straightening your legs out with your ankles crossed. That will cause
your opponent to start choking.

18. Double Armbar in counter of two-hand choke around the neck. – While in guard if someone is trying
to choke you by putting two hands around your neck, hold onto his wrists tight and then start walking you
legs up his back over his shoulders. Once you get your legs on his shoulders cross your ankles and squeeze
your knees together. His elbows should be lined up with your leg when squeezing them together. This will
lock your opponent’s elbows up.

19. Counter to last move – while your opponent is getting ready to squeeze his knees together for a double
armbar, just shimmy your shoulders through one at a time (not two at a time, because you can hurt
yourself).



20. Cradle Escape – while your opponent has you in a cradle on your right side arch your head back and
take your right foot and put it under you left leg making a triangle and push out, while arching your back.
This should loosen or even break the cradle hold.

cradle escape and if that doesn’t work relax a little. After relaxing a little scoot you but out to your left
while turning your head counterclockwise into your opponent’s stomach. If your opponent has the hold on
tight, use your hands to pry his arms off of your head. This will cause your opponent to lose his grip. After
your opponent loses his grip turn (or spin) quickly clockwise away from his stomach to obtain the guard
position.

22. Full Nelson Block – when your opponent comes behind you and attempts a full nelson stiffen your
arms up in the down position with out flailing them up (which can give your opponent the move). You
might have to work on your timing with this one.

23. Headlock Escape (pressure point) (standing) – while your opponent has you in a head lock on your
right side with his head up, take your right hand behind his back over his left shoulder and shape it in the
form of a karate chop. Take pinky side of your right hand and put it under the bridge of his nose on a 45°
angle and push back (there is a pressure point in that area). That will cause you opponent to fall back
without adding a lot of pressure.

24. Headlock Escape (shifting weight in) (standing) – while some one has you in a headlock on your right
side with his head down. Take your right hand and put it around his waste. Then take your left hand and
put it behind his left knee. Then move in close to your opponent with your right leg in between his legs and
your left leg on the outside of his legs. Then drop your level, and shift your weight back. This should cause
your opponent to lose his balance or if he is small enough you can even pick your opponent up and them
drop him.

25. Headlock Escape (falling backwards) (standing) – if all else fails and your opponent has his head down
and is to heavy to do the shifting weight move. First take your left foot and place it on the outside parallel
to your opponents left foot and take your right food and place it perpendicular behind your opponent’s right
foot. Than bring your right arm around your opponent’s waist. After that, sit down with more emphasis on
your right side while swinging your left leg over to your right to get into the mount position on your
opponent.

your right knee up by his head and step your left leg over your opponents body and press your left foot into
your opponent. Than take the bony part of your right hand push it into your opponent’s neck by pushing on

always keep you head down. This should make your opponent let go. After doing that, you can grab your
opponents left arm with your left hand and step over with your right leg and get him into an armbar.


27. Triangle Choke (guard position) – while your opponent is in your guard, take your opponent’s right
arm if available and pull it down onto your chest. Than shift your body towards your right so you are

your opponent’s head. Than take your right leg and make it into a triangle under you left leg. While doing
that put pressure down by pulling on you opponent’s right arm and squeezing down with you left leg, and
pointing your right toes up in the air. Then push your opponent’s head down into you. This should cause
choking pressure. If for some reason you can’t get your right ankle all the way into the crook of your left
leg to make a triangle, use your left hand to pull your right leg in to get it in the right position.

28. Headlock Escape (blocking face from punch) – while your opponent has you in a headlock on your
right side, put your left hand in front of your face to block his punches. If your opponent tries to punch you
with his right hand, block the punch with your left hand and push his right hand to the right side of your
waste while grabbing his right wrist with your right hand. Then grab his left hand and push it down to the
middle of you chest and look up causing pressure on his arm. Then after looking up duck your head back
out from under his right arm and get behind your opponent while still holding your opponent’s left wrist
with your left hand. Than when you get behind your opponent, place his left arm behind his back and push
it up into a chicken wing. Also don’t let go of your opponent’s right hand.

29. Bicep Lock from Guard position – while in your guard position, grab your opponent’s right arm tight
and pin it against your chest. Take your left leg and bring it over your opponent’s right arm placing your
foot in his chest. If your opponent tries to spin to your right side, take your right leg and triangle it over
your left ankle (your left ankle should be in the crook of your right knee, and your right leg should be under
your opponent’s right arm. By triangling your legs that should trap your opponent’s right arm into place.
After that put your left hand on top of your opponent’s right triceps from outside and then bring your right
hand through the inside of your opponent’s right arm and lock it with your left hand on top of your
opponent’s triceps. Then push down on your opponent’s right arm with your hands and push out with your
left leg. This will lock up your opponent’s bicep.

30. Back mount – behind your opponent in a sitting position with legs around him, and your legs hooked
onto your opponent’s legs. Don’t ever cross your ankles because it leaves your opponent open for a leg
lock.

knees trying to prevent you from getting the back mount. Pry your hooks in by pushing down on your
opponent’s arms and shimmying your legs in and hook each of your legs underneath each of your
opponent’s legs. Then take both of your hands and go under his arms and grab both of your opponent’s
wrists and pull them in tight to his chest (this is called a one on one). After doing that, stretch your
opponent out by arching your head back and keeping your head up while stretching your legs back, causing
your opponents arms to get caught under him. Now make sure all of your weight is down on your opponent
(this should be a very uncomfortable position for him). Then take your right hand and lift your opponent’s
head and bring your left arm under into a rear naked choke (refer to move steps of a rear naked after move
#244).

32. If your opponent is protecting himself well and you can’t stretch him out just take your weight while
still holding your opponent’s arm with your hands and roll him back to take the back mount by thrusting
yourself backwards.

33. Trap Arm Into Rear Naked (back mount) – while having the back mount take your opponent’s right

opponent doesn’t punch you (don’t just stand there and expect to get behind him easily). Once you are
behind your opponent, you want to be low on his weight so you have the leverage, and it is also good to

your legs hooked around your opponent’s right leg. Once you are on top of your opponent, place your

his right knee across your body, place your right hand on your opponent’s right leg and push it up and hook

shoulder. You should roll your opponent over your right leg so when you roll and bring your opponent
with you, your legs should be on the outside of your opponent’s right side and they can be placed in the

without crossing your ankles and take the armbar like you would with a Japanese armbar.

355. Gi & Knee Choke – while you have your opponent in the cross mount position on his right side spin
quickly around to the left side of your opponent, so your opponent’s body is facing away from you. Then
take your right hand and feed it tight into your opponent’s right lapel (with your palm facing up). Then

roll right into the Boston crab position (this is where you are sitting on your opponent’s legs, while he is
flat on his stomach). While you are rolling backwards, have your arms extended straight out in a 90-degree
angle to your body flat on the floor. This will help you, because when you does this and end up in a Boston

legs over you by pushing on his knees. Make sure when you go down you do it in a fluid motion and your

up and press it against the right side of your face. Now when your arms are in that position, drop your
body towards you right while turning your body so your back is flat on the floor or flat and parallel to the
floor if your opponent’s right leg is under you back. Now your opponent’s left leg should be across your
torso. You have to do this next part quickly so your opponent doesn’t get you in the mount position. As
soon as you get flat on your back take both of your hands and push your opponent’s left leg, which is
across your torso off of you. Remember to use both of your hands. When his left leg starts slipping down

the opposite way so it will be to hard to get him over. Once you roll your opponent over, chances are he is

roll you right over. Do this by leaning your butt back and having your arms spread out in front of you. Then
wait for him to flatten his body a little. Then take your right leg and bring it over your opponent’s body
and tight into him, and press your left knee into the back of his head. Then take the bony part of your left

left arm and bring it around your opponent’s neck over his arm not under it and grab high up your
opponent’s right lapel with your left hand. Use your right hand to pull your opponent’s right lapel out so
you can get your left hand up there tight. Now after you have that position jump over you opponent to his
right side while keeping your hands in the same position. Then just do a sit out and sit your left leg
through. Make sure your left but cheek is kind of on your opponent’s right shoulder. And while you do the

which is holding your opponent’s left collar close to your opponent’s body. Now turn your body 180
degrees while stepping your left leg around. After you do that post your right leg farther out while slightly
bending it. The bend in the leg is to allow your opponent to go over your leg. If you keep your leg straight
then it will be harder to throw your opponent. After you have that position twist your shoulders
counterclockwise while pulling on your opponent’s right sleeve and left collar and throwing him over your
