Kesa gatame -> armbar

I have kesa-gatame on B's right side. I have B's right arm tucked into my left armpit and my right arm underhooks B's other arm, securing it by gripping my own collar.

Step 1: I bring my left leg over B's head and bring their right arm diagonally across the body.

Step 2: I sink down and use my armpit + hips to initiate the armlock

Step 3: If B escapes their arm, I spin and armbar the arm I have trapped with my own collar

Armbar from kesa.
-From the same position above I make sure that B's underhooked arm is trapped on top of my shoulder and secured by the collar grip and my head. If B tries to bring the arm across my face to push me away, I catch it with my left hand and lock up an americana. Otherwise..
Step 1: I bring the underhooked arm down towards B's waist.

Step 2: My forearm/elbow comes across B's stomach and I put all my pressure through my forearm.

Step 3: I release my collar grip and my hand slides to behind B's elbow

Step 4: While mainting the pressure with my head and forearm, my left hand comes up behind the elbow on top of my right hand

Step 5: I can go knee on belly and then post out my left leg to finish the armlock

Loop Choke/Sweep off half guard pass + Loop choke from sprawl

I start with a knee shield half guard. I use my left hand to get a cross collar grip on B. My right hand blocks B's crossfacing arm with a sleeve grip. While B passes my guard, I use the collar grip to come around the head as if going for a guillotine. Keeping the sleeve grip, I hip escape once and then roll underneath B, pushing the sleeve across their body. Once I roll B onto their back, I let go of the sleeve and grab the pants. I then bridge back onto B to finish the choke. If I can't finish the choke I come up while maintaining the collar grip.



After the initial guard pass, I can come up onto my knees instead. With my left hand with the cross collar, I put all my pressure on the back of B's head with my chest. I then circle around to the right putting my right hand behind B's thigh and my head underneath their stomach, in front of their thigh. From there I keep circling to try and finish the choke. If they don't tap I keep circling until they are off balance. From there I switch my hips so that my belly is up and then spin bringing my free hand around their arm to the back of their head. My belly should be beneath B's head with one hand in the collar and the other behind their head.

Instead of circling and switching my hips in the last move, I can use the leg grip and the collar grip and bulldoze into the side of B. Once they start to crumble I flip over their body and spin into the choke.

Butterfly Guard Situp -> Choke -> Sweep

B is in my butterfly guard with me flattened out on my back. I extend my legs and sit up. My left arm comes around B's right arm and I for a one arm tie up grabbing his collar. My right arm posts on the ground and I do a technical stand up so my right leg comes up. I keep my left leg with a butterfly hook and bring my right hand into the collar palm up. I then bring my right leg into B's leg so that the top of my foot is on the outside of his leg with my left leg hook on the inside. If B tries to block the choke and posts out their left leg, I use my hook to elevate and sweep them to my right side.

Armbar to the back + Knee on belly to back

I have an armbar on B's right side. My right arm is hooking the arm while my left arm is free. B is doing the classic armbar defense. I use my left arm to clamp down on B's arms to secure my position. I then bring the leg over B's head behind their head. My left arm then comes around the back of B's head and grabs their lat. In one motion I use my right leg to hook and my left leg's motion to take the back. **note: My right arm keeps the arm trapped with the gi. Once I take the back I can go to the classic over under gi choke or go back to the armbar.

Knee on belly to the back:
I have knee on belly on B's right side and they shrimp away. I place my chest on their shoulder and spin to the other side so that B's back is facing me. My right arm comes around the back of B's head and grabs the cross wrist and my left arm comes under neath their trapped arm and grabs my own wrist. *Kimura grip* My left leg then comes up while my right leg tucks into B's back. I then pull B onto me and take the back.
