control your opponents head and shoulders between your knees and attack his isolated limb with your arms – that's the pattern of so many upper body submissions, particularly when applied from underneath. Get used to the idea of sliding out to an angle and bringing your knees up to your opponents head and shoulders for control – it's a movement you'll be using throughout your time in jiu jitsu and which will bring you many of your best successes.
