Armbar -> Side Control, Mounted Americana Defense, Kimura Defense

I have B in an armbar position from side control on B's left arm.
Step 1: I take my leg that is above B's head and bring it across his arm like you would an omoplata

Step 2: I simply posture up and extend my leg to clear the trapped arm

Step 3: Claim side control

**Americana From Mount Defense**

When B has an american locked from mount.

Step 1: Using my free hand, push against B's lat to create space

Step 2: Bring my head into the space created so that my head rests on top of B's arm

Step 3: While leaning my head against the arm, extend my trapped arm to break the americana grip

Step 4: With my freed arm, overhook B's arm and grab the belt

Step 5: Upa and sweep to escape from mount to land in guard

**Kimura Defense**
B has my right arm locked up in a Kimura and is in side control

Step 1: My left arm comes underneath B's belly to the other side like an underhook

Step 2: I begin to reverse shrimp out while keeping my kimura arm safe

Step 3: I escape and come up to my knees
