Defenses & Counters
- Expect hand fighting and posture resets before the lock settles
- Watch for bridges or frames that create space under your chest
- If the angle dies, transition instead of forcing a stalled finish
Follow-Ups
- Transition to a linked submission when they defend the primary finish
- Re-secure the control position if the submission breaks
- Advance position when the defense opens a better pin
Training Drills
- Positional entries with progressive resistance
- Finish-or-transition rounds from the main control
