I think we did four of each but I can only remember three. Terrible memory. Didn't even roll, so can't use exhaustion as an excuse for forgetting.

Arm-Over Side Control Passes
Set-up:
You have side control on opponent's right side. They put up their right knee.

1. Use your right hand to grip their gi at the knee and drive it across their other knee to the mat. Grip should remain or release and place hand on the mat. Should be on the inside of their knee to keep them from straightening their leg and foiling the pass. Sprawl, switch your hips toward their legs, swing right leg over and replace your right hand with your right foot. Rotate your ankle out (to the right) a bit so that you can slide your knee down over their thigh and onto the mat. Once the knee hits the mat, you can pull your foot out. At this point, you should be able to trap their left arm as you slide up into mount.

2. Instead of driving their knee to the side, drive the knee down, sprawl, switch hips toward their legs, swing right foot over, hook under their left thigh and mount.

3. If their knee is really driving into you, use your right hand and slide it under their right calf, just above their ankle. Their knee should be trapped between your side and your upper arm. Hand should be on their left thigh. Base out with your left hand to the side of their head. Slide your left knee onto their belly, pull their right leg up and toward you a bit, bring your right leg to their left thigh. Fall back toward their head and then off to the right. Extend your right leg (will keep them from rolling up on you to defend against the knee bar) and grip the back of their heel with both hands for the knee bar.

Arm-Over Side Control Submissions

1. Raise up a bit, slide your right hand palm up along their right lapel as deep as you can get. Doesn't need to be as deep as normal cross collar chokes. Scrape your left arm across their face toward you, grip their shoulder, sprawl one of your legs back (left seems to provide more pressure) as you flare your elbows.

2. Slide toward north-south, move right hand under their back and grip the back of their lapel at the neck from behind (four fingers should be in). Slide back to side control, scrape left hand across their face and get a thumb in grip on their left lapel. Make a tent with your wrist, sprawl left leg back.

3. Opponent turns into you. Bring right arm up, wrap over their head (reverse guillotine?), left arm bases out, sprawl, switch hips toward their head.
