Situations, solved
One system per situation.
A technique page answers "what is a knee cut". These answer the question from the parking lot: "I keep getting swept from butterfly, what do I do?" One spine, its branches, what to drill tonight, what to check after the round. Every claim is cited to a public coaching clip at the second; the transcript was read; sentences the coaches did not say are marked as the author's.

Holding the mount and the arm triangle chain, in the gi
The mount landed and held first: hips on his hips, the soles of the feet glued to him, the arms inside his legs, a hand to the floor when he bridges; the secure position with the legs crossed under his and his head held with the right arm, counted three seconds; the knee push answered by letting the knee go and climbing; his arm placed on your shoulder by the angle, the head-holding arm adjusted behind his neck below the chin, your head slid in, the palms locked, off the mount to his side with the leg hooked, the knee behind his hips, and the squeeze to the tap.
