Anyway, just curious what your transitions/setups are from being on top of side control.

That sucks.
So, from side control, there are the obvious arm attacks and the arm-triangles (which I think you mentioned).
Work into north/south, and practice from there. Work kimuras and the chokes (North/South, anaconda, guillotine and so on) and that stuff, and it will make your transition game alot better. It helps to establish position and to keep your opponent from bridging the hips in. Also, at the beginning levels it's not a place alot of guys know how to defend (and often they roll over into the guillotine).
The kneebar from there is also really effective, and I've been using it as a way of transitioning to reverse mount (which is the way that you set up the toe-hold).
Keeping the weight down just takes practice, but it often helps to think of attacking that toehold like a reverse mount and driving the knee in like you do when you mount.
I do really like the kimura and other attacks from what I call ass-on-face position (which is the one leg over position that you use to really isolate and finish the kimura). There are triangles from there if they open the body and try and put you in mount.
Just practice quick, tight execution, and you should be good. It's all about locking down the techniques that you have an making them work.
Hope that was helpful. |
