Nathan Leverton – Total Grappling Series – Side and Top Position Vol.2

Volume 2 begins in side control but soon moves on to the less-known leg and ankle lock chances from this position.
The ‘jump up’ from side control into heel hook, achilles lock, figure 4 toe hold, and straight knee bar is demonstrated clearly.
A great deal of important information is provided on these approaches, which can be notoriously difficult to master.
A number of situations for using these choices are acted out, as well as an explanation of why the locks function.
Following that, a more in-depth examination of top control is provided.
Straight armbar from top control is discussed, as well as leg scissors, kimura, and numerous escapes and counters.
Regular scarf grip is covered, as well as kimura variations, straight arm locks, and leg keylocks without moving out of scarf hold.
Then, to obtain a side choke, go from scarf to side control.
A great reverse triangle choke is demonstrated, as well as how to kimura someone who has gotten a knee to your chest and is attempting to pull guard.
Nathan then considers chaining the contributions into thirteen viable options.
Keylock – straight arm bar — keylock, keylock – stepover armbar, keylock – kimura, kimura – straight armbar – head scissors, and more variations are available.
Nathan shows how, if your initial submit fails, a backup submission attempt may be utilized to’set up’ your opponent.
By capitalizing on your opponent’s natural reaction, you can successfully revert to your initial submission.
