Introduction To Becoming A Side Control Assassin by Latif Kadri

Interesting techniques to try

I like Latif, he seems like a humble guy. There's a few techniques here I'll definitely try, especially if I feel stuck in side control, I liked how Latif made reference to considerations for using these in the gi. interesting ideas of what to do from a scarf hold position. My main problem with it was with the first technique, but mainly because of his training partner Wim, as his side control wasn't chest to chest, left loads of space at the hips and didn't have good head positioning, which created unrealistic circumstances to put the choke on, so now I have no confidence in whether this option will actually work (I've not removed a star for this though, as it's not Latif's fault, also because I feel that overall the main point of this instructional is to give you more ideas, where your first priority should always be to escape anyway).

Attacking from Side Control Bottom!

The instructions are very clear and the techniques are built up in a very concise way. It is a great addition as well as a plan B from bottom if it is hard to recover guard ar srand up or as an A game too. Highly recommend!

Great video on sidecontrol, it really helped me to take up my game. Also blessed to have Latif as one of my trainers
