Turtle: Back Take to Arm Bar

I am on top while B is turtled. I am on the left side.

My right arm comes around the back and gets a monkey grip on B's right wrist. My left arm comes across the front of B's chest, under the chin, and grips B's right arm. I use the grips to suck B's arm in and hop over their back to the other side. I tuck my right knee into their side and bring them onto their back. As I roll I use my left hand to push their face as my right hand grabs my lapel, finishing the armbar.

It's important when hopping over to not hop over towards their head. You have to hop across in a straight direction. Otherwise the roll becomes harder and the angle for the armbar changes.

Open Guard: Knee Shield

These are sweeps/submission when you have knee shield guard. One knee comes across the stomach while the other leg is in front of B's face. If I have my right shin across the body, my left leg is blocking B's face.

Sweep 1:
I hold B's right sleeve and use my left leg to bring B's head towards the mat. I pull the sleeve tight as my right leg elevates B over their head. It is essentially a scissor sweep from a different position.

Sweep 2:
I hold B's left sleeve and bridge over to bring my stomach to the mat. When they push back I do sweep 1 except holding the left sleeve instead of the right.

Submission:
Holding B's right sleeve. I use my left leg to push B's head away. I move my hip and bring my right shin out and put my right foot on B's hip. I elevate my hips using the foot on the hip as my left leg comes over B's head. I let go of the right sleeve and grab B's left arm to secure the triangle choke.
