I am in side control on B's left side. I have their left arm trapped with my right underhooking arm and grab my lapel with my right hand. My head is tight to the arm to keep it in control.
Americana Attack:
B may try to bring their arm around my head to post off my throat. I follow the motion of the arm and catch the wrist with my left hand. From there I lock up an americana and finish.
To block their arm from coming around my head, I lower my my forehread to the ground as I follow the motion of the arm. A common reaction will be for them to try and shrimp out to create space. As they shrimp out I put my knee on their chest. My left hand posts on the floor behind their head as I bring my left leg over their head. My right shin stays tight to their chest as I sit back with the straight armlock. It's important to hook the head with the leg.
Sometimes the far side armbar is a more viable option. A common reaction that happens is when I go knee on chest and post my leg out, the bottom person reaches across to grab the knee. The far side armbar is still possible, but B's right arm will be in the way blocking my leg. They can use their free arm to peel my leg off of their head or defend their arm.
When going for the far side armbar, I keep my knee on their chest and windshield my foot to the other side of B's arm. This way when I go around for the far side armbar I am able to trap B's head effectively.
