Chest-to-Chest Pin Control

Top Player:

  • Position: Chest-to-chest side control, one arm under the head, one under the far-side armpit, hands connected.
  • Objective: Prevent rotation and framing while isolating one arm.
  • Constraints: Must maintain chest-to-chest contact; no submissions allowed.
  • Win Condition: Isolate and control one arm using a bent arm control (e.g., Kimura or Americana), with wrist control, bent elbow, and figure-four reinforcement.

Bottom Player:

  • Position: Flat on back, fully pinned in traditional side control.
  • Objective: Create space, rotate, and escape the pin.
  • Constraints: Must begin flat and controlled; no explosive bridging or striking movements.
  • Win Condition: Escape to turtle, seated guard (hands/feet between players), or full guard (legs wrapped).
