Side Control can be a weird position sometimes. Like, you’re for sure in a more dominant position than your opponent is, but oftentimes you just can’t seem to get a submission from there (plus, it’s difficult to keep the opponent pinned there if they’re experienced).
However, you can expand your submission repertoire from this position. For example, with this powerful Kimura from Side Control setup!
