Basic entry into side control with arm trapped:

  1. Start with the opponent's arm trapped on the outside and establish proper head control, placing your shoulder in their neck and on their face.
  2. Bring the knee closest to the trapped arm up and slide it down to the wrist, securing the arm.
  3. Slide your back leg over the opponent's arm to gain two-on-one control.
  4. Switch your base off your leg and sprawl out your hips to plant your weight on the opponent.

Advanced entry when the opponent is playing tight and reframing:

  1. When unable to use the outside leg, start with the back knee and fake a knee-on-belly to create an opening.
  2. Posture up slightly for visibility and slide the knee down, peeling the opponent's hand away from their body.
  3. Pin the hand down with your other foot, close to the wrist.
  4. Pick up your hip to switch your position and make a base over the opponent's arm.
  5. Sprawl your hip back to place your weight and secure the position.
