Kimura from Mount - Elbow Escape Defense

Use this when the opponent attempts an elbow escape from mount and pushes on your leg to create space. It solves the problem of them escaping mount by attacking the extended arm they use to push. The mechanism is securing the Kimura grip then using a leg over the head to create an inverted control position that prevents their escape while finishing the lock.
