Maintaining the Finish

Top Player:

• Position: Standing while straddling your supine partner with the top of your head touching the mat in their armpit. Their arm should be wrapped around your neck with their hands connected. The position should be uncomfortable, but you should not be getting actively choked.
• Objective: Focus on freeing your head from the submission using movement and by fighting their hands.
• Constraints: None
• Win Condition: Freeing your head.

Bottom Player:

• Position: Laying on the ground belly up with your partner’s feet on either side of your body and with their head on the mat in your armpit. Your arm should wrap around their neck and your hands should be connected.
• Objective: Maintain control of your opponent without actively choking them.
• Constraints: Do not finish the submission.
• Win Condition: None

Reset if top player wins.
