Attacks: There are actually a greater variety of submissions

available to you from the top of

Side Mount than in most other top positions. These include straight and bent
armlocks, chokes with and
without the gi, neck cranks, footlocks and kneebars. The most common attacks are
the Americana (Varmlock),
the Kimura (chicken wing armlock), the spin armbar and several chokes using your
opponent's gi.
On the bottom you don't have very many high-percentage offensive options, but it
is sometimes possible to
submit and/or roll your opponent by attacking the arm closest to your head with a
Kimura armlock.
