This particular submission is a bit more advanced than most of the others listed in the Techniques section. One of the CMU Grappling Club's instructors, Drew Yao, is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Ricardo Almeida. This is one of Drew's favorite submissions. He has taken the time to share his knowledge of this unique submission with us. Below are his personal instructions for performing this technique.

1. Start in side control with an underhook and head control. This is the most common form of side control. Keep your head down to prevent your opponent from putting his forearm across your throat and pushing you away. Use your shoulder to push your opponent's face away so he has to look away from you. Since he can't get his arms into a good posture, he will often just grab around your body to try to stall.

2. Get the underhook on your opponent really deep, clamping around his shoulder. Grab your left shoulder and pinch his arm between your neck and shoulder.

3. Move your left arm from under your opponent's head to across his head.

4. Put your forearm across your opponent's throat and your right knee on his stomach (knee on stomach not pictured).

5. Put your weight on your forearm and knee and try to sit upright to break your opponent's grip. The instant he breaks his grip, your opponent will try to get his arms tight to his body (not shown), so you have to have a very tight underhook on his arm. At this point, if your opponent has done some basic jiu-jitsu, he will think that you want a spin around armbar, so he will be surprised when you go for the elbow press.

6. Put all of your weight on your knee on your opponent's stomach. This will distract him and also make your left foot light so it is easy to step it over your opponent's head. Post your left hand on the mat, keeping your forearm across your opponent's throat to hold his head down. With your weight on your right knee and your left hand, it is very easy to step your left foot over. You do not have to step over in one motion; you can slowly walk your foot over with very small steps.

7. Sit back. It is important to stay upright -- don't fall on your back. When you stay upright, you still have the option of getting back on top, and you prevent your opponent from putting his weight on you. Pinch your opponent's wrist between your neck and right shoulder. Pinch your knees together tightly. Pull your arms towards yourself as you thrust your chest forwards, hyperextending your opponent's elbow.

8. If your opponent's left arm slips out, you can transition to a standard straight arm bar on his right arm.
