Finishing from side control depending on the reaction of the near arm (Lachlan Giles)

Overview

Lachlan Giles breaks down three distinct finishing options from side control based on how the opponent frames with their near arm. He demonstrates lifting the elbow to pass the hip line for a cross-legged mount, using an underhook to take the back, and jamming the wrist to transition into a north-south bicep choke. The video emphasizes reading the opponent's resistance to select the correct entry.
