Side Control -> Mount -> Armbar

Step 1: I start in top side control position on B's right side with an opposite side arm triangle locked up. (B's left arm is trapped)

Step 2: Switch base to clear B's right arm

Step 3: I slide my knee up to B's hip and slide it across to get mount

Step 4: Tracing my right arm along the mat, I switch to a modified S mount

Step 5: I tie up B's left arm by grabbing my own lapel with my left hand

Step 6: If B defends the armbar, I use my right hand to post out towards B's head and turn my hips over towards B's head to break the grip

Mount -> X Choke -> Armbar

Step 1: I start in mount position and with my left hand open B's right lapel and get a cross lapel grip with my right hand

Step 2: When B defends the cross lapel grip, I push their elbow up and then push their arm to the side.

Step 3: Collapse my chest onto B's arm so that it becomes trapped

Step 4: Using my left hand to trace a semi circle along the mat from my left side around B's head, I switch to a modified S mount

Step 5: Using a thumb in grip with my left hand I spin back to regular mount, placing my head on the floor to finish the choke

**Armbar**
Step 6: If I can't get the thumb in grip, my cross lapel grip switches to and arm tie up by grabbing my own lapel and finishing with the armbar
