Add to Favorites 826 Remove From Favorites 2607 days ago
Xande shows two of the basic ways to hold side control when you are facing your hips toward your opponent. The first and most basic is with your bottom leg in front and your top leg posted with the knee up. However, for this position, he switches his legs so his top leg is in front. This will allow him to slide his hips over the torso when he goes for mount.

Inside the University 100 - Failed Straight Armlock to Folded Side Control with Transition to Mount, Folded Straight Armlock, or Kimura
Add to Favorites 1569 Remove From Favorites 3651 days ago
In this lesson we learn how to continue our attack with a failed straight armlock where your opponent was able to free their hand and bring it to the other side of your head. Rather than let go of your grip on your opponent's arm, we use this opportunity to transition to a side control with your opponent's arm folded across and pinned to their chest. We have many options to finish from the folded side control position including a transition to the mount, a straight arm lock from the folded side control, or transition back to the keylock to attack the kimura, straight armlock, and americana.

Add to Favorites 1219 Remove From Favorites 3697 days ago
When taking your opponent's back with the near side hook, often times your opponent will beat you to the other side and block your far side hook from coming in leaving you in an awkward position on the back with only one hook. In this case, many people will continue to try to take their opponent's back but sometimes it's better to attack with a submission instead. In this lesson, Xande teaches how to transition to an armbar from the top turtle with one hook in.

Add to Favorites 3561 Remove From Favorites 3697 days ago
Your opponent may bridge and roll in to you as you're passing the guard or find a way to bridge into you to break the pin from side control. If your opponent is already on their side, it may be hard to re-establish control of the position. Rather than letting them reestablish their guard, spin around to the back side instead to reestablish your side control or to transition to the back.

Sometimes it is better to make a transition instead of trying to force our opponent pinned to stay one step ahead of them.

Controlling Side Control with Hip to Hip or Hip to Shoulder
Add to Favorites 2027 Remove From Favorites 3701 days ago
Xande teaches how to position your body in the side control with your hip to your opponent's hip or hip to their shoulder to maintain a dominant side control. Depending on how your opponent reacts, you may have to mold your weight distribution to a different point of control to keep your opponent pinned to the ground. We learn that there are three points of control to apply pressure to control our opponents: the hips, the shoulders, or the neck. By understanding to apply pressure to these three points of control and how they work in pinning your opponent, we can begin to create a more dynamic strategy to control your opponent in the side control.
