Tips for pinning and submitting from all positions:

• Always be aware of your opponent’s hips
• Drive your own hips to the mat
• Use your hips and weight to prevent your opponent from getting posture with his arms
• Establish your pin before you attack with a submission
• If a submission takes a significant amount of force to apply, you did not set it up correctly
• Use your weight and positional advantage as much as possible when performing a submission
