Executing a Monoplata from side control:

  1. Start by establishing side control and positioning your foot below the opponent's knee.
  2. Move the opponent's arm out of the way and place your foot on their belly, forcing them to block your foot.
  3. Control their arm and pull it down while simultaneously jumping your left foot over their arm.
  4. Use your right knee to force the opponent to look away, which will make their body turn slightly.
  5. Place your right foot over their arm and bring their arm up, then adjust your body by bringing your foot close to their shoulder.
  6. Secure the arm by closing your arm around it and trapping it with your left foot.
  7. Pass your right foot over their face and fall to the other side, keeping your shoulder on the ground to prevent giving space for escape.
  8. After falling, do not let your neck touch the ground; instead, keep your right arm positioned to block their arm and hand.
  9. Finally, place your left foot to trap their right arm, and with your left hand, move it out from your neck.
  10. Adjust your body by turning and lifting both feet upwards, securing the Monoplata submission.
