Practicing the moves incorrectly could result in serious bodily injury or death.
 |
| Here I have my opponent in my open guard and he has made the mistake of overextending himself. |
|
 
| I pivot to the side and place my left leg high across his back, at the same time I grip his belt to prevent him from escaping. |
| I pivot further so that I am facing the same direction as my opponent, then I use my right hand to push his head out of the way and pass my leg over his shoulder. |
|
| Once I have passed my leg I kick it down to the floor. |
| Next I sit both legs out to the right and sit up towards my opponents head to lock his shoulder. |
|
 
| If he does not tap then I reach my left hand under his armpit, clasp my hands and bring his elbow together. This move is known as a crucifix. (Exercise caution as it can be very painful.) |
| Another submission option is the wristlock. All you do is press down on his trapped wrist, in this case the right wrist. |
