The Kimura Grip North-South establishes north-south control while maintaining a kimura grip (double wrist lock) on one of the opponent's arms, creating immediate submission pressure from the position....
The Chest Pressure North-South maximises the pinning pressure of the north-south position by driving the sternum directly into the opponent's sternum or diaphragm, using bodyweight to compress the bot...
A head-and-arm choke applied from the north-south position. The attacker traps one of the opponent’s arms across their neck, drops the near-side shoulder beside the head, and sprawls chest and hips to...

The North-South family covers the top control position where the controlling fighter lies chest-to-chest with the opponent but in opposite direction — head-to-feet — creating a 180-degree orientation....
The Shrimp North-South Escape uses hip escape movement to create enough angle and distance to recover guard from the north-south position. [1] The shrimp from north-south is more challenging than from...
The north-south choke from the north-south position is applied by wrapping one arm around the opponent's neck while the attacker's body lies perpendicular on top, facing the opposite direction. [1] Th...
The headscissors from north-south is applied when the attacker is in the north-south position and traps the opponent's head between their thighs by closing the legs around the neck from above. [1,2] T...

The Inversion North-South Escape uses an inversion — rolling onto the upper back and elevating the hips — to recover guard from the north-south position. [1] The inversion exploits the fact that the o...
Chokes and strangles are submission techniques that restrict either blood flow (strangles) or airflow (chokes) to force a tap out or render an opponent unconscious. [6] The distinction between a choke...
The B. Smith Escape recovers half guard from north-south position using a specific bridging and hip movement sequence. [1]
The Standard Shrimp Escape from north-south frames against the opponent's hips, bridges to create space, then hip escapes to one side, turning the body to create enough angle to reinsert a knee and re...
The Fundamental Side Control family covers the core side control variations and techniques for maintaining chest-to-chest control, attacking with submissions, and transitioning to more dominant positi...
The arm triangle choke (kata-gatame) is a family of blood chokes that use the attacker's arms in combination with the opponent's own trapped shoulder to compress both carotid arteries. [1,2] The defin...
The head-and-arm choke subfamily encompasses all arm triangle variations where the attacker traps the opponent’s head and one arm together, using the trapped arm as a wedge against one carotid artery ...
Side control is a dominant ground position where the top player lies chest-to-chest across the opponent's torso, perpendicular to their body, using a combination of crossface, underhook, and chest pre...
A kata gatame variation against turtle where the choke is secured before rolling the defender over to complete the finish. The attacker threads to trap the arm across the neck, locks the head-and-arm,...
The Kimura lock (gyaku-ude-garami / double wristlock) is a shoulder lock where the attacker grips the opponent's wrist with one hand, threads the other arm under the opponent's elbow, and clasps a fig...
The Standard Inversion Escape from north-south bridges the hips upward, rolls onto the upper back, and swings the legs over the body to hook around the opponent, recovering guard through the inversion...
The Position class encompasses all distinct body configurations and spatial relationships between fighters that define the tactical landscape of grappling and striking combat. [1] Positions are the fo...
The Top Position group encompasses all dominant ground positions where the fighter on top has passed the opponent's guard and achieved a controlling position. [1] Top positions represent the upper hal...
The Standard Reverse Knee On Belly positions the top fighter facing the opponent's legs with one knee on the abdomen and the posted foot toward the head, providing access to straight ankle locks, toe ...
The Standard Side Control subfamily covers the basic lateral side control position where the top fighter lies perpendicular to the bottom fighter, using chest pressure and arm controls to maintain the...
The headscissors strangle uses both legs wrapped around the opponent's head — typically in a figure-four leg configuration — to compress the carotid arteries and/or restrict breathing. [1,2] The attac...
The face crank applies pressure across the opponent's face — typically the chin, jaw, or nose — to force cervical hyperextension and create intense pain. [1,2,3] The attacker clasps hands under or acr...
Bottom Escape covers all techniques for escaping inferior bottom positions where the opponent has established dominant top control — the defensive survival skills that keep a fighter in the fight afte...
A choke where the opponent’s arm and head are trapped against the attacker’s shoulder, restricting blood flow to the brain via carotid arteries. Can induce unconsciousness if held.
