Positional Flow

Standing engagement through to ground positions & submissions. How positions connect through specific actions rather than memorized techniques

Flow outline

  1. Open Matt

    • initial standing engagement phase, representing conceptual starting point where distance management and grip fighting establish foundation for all subsequent ground interactions. Switch if it stalls

  2. Side Control

    • If they frame, quick note: a fundamental controlling position where superior pressure and weight distribution create opportunities for submissions or transitions to more dominant positions

  3. Turtle

    • Quick note: A defensive position that requires conceptual understanding of space management and hip movement to either escape or be attacked from back

  4. Mount

    • When it happens, A dominant position emphasizing weight distribution and control concepts that create multiple submission pathways through pressure and positional awareness

  5. Mount

    • From here, high mount variation that principle of positional hierarchy, where increased control amplifies submission opportunities through arm isolation and back exposure. pay attention to posture

  6. Back Mount

    • From here, ultimate controlling position that embodies principle of back exposure, where submission opportunities emerge from controlling both upper body and hip alignment. pay attention to posture
