Learning New moves to control the opponent from the top---Kamora and moving past the legs…

The student (on top) uses a ‘Kamora’ to subdue his opponent. I learned the Kamora as an effective way to take control from when on top.

This move seems vaguely similar to Wresting and Aikido which I have tried before, and the general idea is to lock the arm join and bend it in a way it’s not supposed to go. The result is immobilizing the fighters arm and causing them to yell in pain.

---Two bottom pictures----

The practicioner (on top) controls his opponent by moving onto him in a sit in position by getting past his legs. By getting past the legs, the fighter on the bottom won’t be able to lock him up, and will have much more difficulty getting free from that position.

From the sitting position on top, he could more easily lock the head and arm of his opponent, or use the Kamora to get him to tap out….

He struggled to get past his opponents defenses (legs) in the first image, and then is in a better position to control his opponent in the second image…
