2 Part Technique — Developing a tight squeeze isn't just for finishing a submission; it can also be a great way to improve your position when implemented correctly. For example, cinch up your Underhook & Head Control from Side Mount even beyond the enclosure met with a Gable Grip: try grasping for your own elbows. Clear your opponent's elbow out of the way from mounting your knee high next to his shoulder and establish. Finish from the mount with an armbar -- you can transition to it slowly and deliberately, or you can generate momentum and snap back with the extension. Do such whenever he is preventing you from obtaining a High Mount with your knees under his armpits.
