So I was rolling with my partner yesterday, and as I was passing his guard, he caught my right leg into his half guard. I started playing with his left arm, trying to get him to forget about my leg so I could squeeze it out and fall into side control. I tried locking in an Americana, but he straightened his arm at the last minute. So I just went with it, experimenting. With me still in his half guard, but my left knee almost in side control position, I had his arm stretched out, my right hand controlling his wrist, palm up, and my left arm fed underneath his arm, as if going for a kimura. My forearm just so happened to be at his elbow, so I pushed down on his wrist, grabbed my right forearm with my left hand, and pulled up with my left forearm....and he tapped, instantly.... I hope I explained that ok and you guys can get a picture about what happened. My question is, has anyone seen this before, or done it, is it something I could possibly look for? Or maybe it was just a fluke? It seemed like a pretty effective submission, and was nice to have something that had a bit of leverage when in someone's half guard. As always, your insight is always appreciated guys. Sorry for the long winded post.
