Class notes September 2011: Head and bicep suppression

Looked at it from: standing side control side attack (knee on belly( centre control reverse side control standing bottom control. The keys that I picked up were around the use of the head. It is this that manipulates their arm to position under their jaw line. Essentially the head needs to move 2 ways. Towards his face to trap the arm then down to get it into final position. I made the error of using the palms to help the arm. When using the head it just feels like you are in more control and finer adjustments can be made. Keeping head pressure against theirs is also important.
