Side Control Positional Flow Drill

A continuous top-control transition sequence maintaining chest-to-body pressure while cycling through standard side mount (1), scarf hold / kesa gatame (2), reverse scarf hold (3), full mount (4), knee on belly (5), and switching around to side mount on the opposite side (6).

Key points

  • Stay tightly connected and maintain constant chest-to-chest pressure
  • Transition smoothly through each position without creating space
  • Switch hip angles decisively from side control to scarf hold, mount, and knee on belly

Common mistakes

Lifting the chest and disconnecting from the partner during position changes, allowing an easy guard recovery.
