Hand-Fighting from Side-Control
Marcelo helps Jon with a highly nuanced problem after passing: If your opponent is strongly defending and depriving you of a moment to advance and take more from them, adjust accordingly by intensifying your driving base and sophisticating your grip-work. Be precise on where you deliver wrapping pressure against your opponent's framing forearms; you can go through an arm and attach to their head if you hit by their wrist. However, you may need to bypass their head and run yourself North/South if their elbow is framing and defending their head. Deliver your weight onto your opponent by getting off of your knees and up onto your toes to help angle your base downward and make them carry you, slowing them down somewhat. Press off of the mat with your legs and shift your weight from their lower-body up towards their chest, head, and shoulders to gain more control over the position, e.g. as is done from a Folding-Pass.
