The Side Control is a dominant position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Though, all things considered, it isn’t nearly as dominant as having someone’s back. Or as having them in a Mount… And, well, some say it’s inferior even to Half Guard.

And, well, if there is one person who understands how to do that, then that’s Josh Barnett.
He shows the most painful no-gi Side Control on the video below:
