Ingrappling,side control(often also calledside mount,cross mount, 100 kilos[1]) is adominant ground grappling positionwhere the top combatant is lying perpendicularly over the face-up bottom combatant in such a way that thelegsare free and he or she exerts no control over the combatant on the bottom. The top combatant is referred to as having side control, and is in a stable position, with the other combatant pinned beneath them. From there the top combatant can proceed withelbows,knees,varioussubmissions,ortransitioninto amounted position.It is high priority for the bottom combatant tosweepthe top combatant or otherwise escape the position, for instance by entangling the opponent's free legs and trying to obtain thehalf guardorguard.
Kata-gatame
[edit]Thekata gatame( vai cố, "shoulder hold" ) is apinning holdwhere the opponent is hugged around the head, with one of the opponent's arms pinned against his or her neck. It can be done fromkesa-gatamein response to an opponent's escape attempt, during which the arm is pinned against his or her neck, and the hold around the neck is put in place. Thekata-gatameis often seen as achokehold,since it is easy to compress the opponent's neck from the hold by squeezing, in which case it is known as anarm triangle chokeorside choke.
Kesa-gatame
[edit]
Kesa gatame( áo cà sa cố, also referred to ashon-kesa-gatame,[2]Bổn áo cà sa cố ) or "scarf hold" is apinning holdthat is performed from side control by turning slightly sideways, spreading the legs for stability, and encircling the opponent's head with one arm and holding the other arm close to thechest.Transitionsandsubmission holdsare comparatively difficult to perform effectively from this position, instead a variation of this hold is used calledkuzure-kesa-gatame( băng áo cà sa cố ) or "modified scarf hold". This hold is similar to thekesa-gatame,except that instead of encircling the head, the opponent's arm is encircled.KodokanJudoalso classifies the commonly used techniquesushiro-kesa-gatameandmakura-kesa-gatameaskuzure-kesa-gatame.[3]
Twister Side-Control
[edit]Twister side control, also known as reverse scarf hold, is a variation of traditional side control. Ideal twister side control is achieved from traditional side control by facing away from the opponents head, sitting on their bicep, placing the small of your back on their chin and trapping their other arm behind your elbow, pushing it towards their head. A key component to twister side control is keeping your hip off the ground, this is important to help keep weight down on the opponent. This will leave you with a free hand that you can use to block the opponents legs from attacking or keep posture. Twister side control is usually known as a position which favors attacking the legs. However, the upper body can be attacked with submissions such as the baby arm, kimura, d'arce, etc. In addition, the tip-toe transition to mount is an extremely high percentage pass and considered one of the easiest in jiu-jitsu. Twister side control is named after the a transition, from the position, which enables you to transition to the truck and perform a twister a.k.a.guillotine,but it also allows you to attack for kneebars and calf cranks.
