Nice. I'll try it tonight.
So just bump up a few times until they go down near the waist and legs then sit up?
If you bump a guy, his reflex is to get lower on your body to keep you from tossing him off over your head. In Judo, it's used as an escape from both the side mount and the scarf hold.
It's kind of like with the mount... You get up high, and put your knees in the guy's armpits. If he starts to squirm out and get the elbows in, you have to move down and get the grapevines. If you want to go for something, you have to start moving up again. If I'm under you, I bait you back and forth, and try to catch you in the middle with the upa, or do knee to elbow as you move down.
Side mount, you bump from beneath to try to get him off. If you buck a couple times, the logical thing to do is get lower and pin down your hips, that way if you want to keep bucking, you just burn yourself out. However, if you catch me as I'm moving, or I don't stay tight with good base (the "outrigger" I reffered to is having my legs set to keep me from being perfectly perpendicular... You gotta keep at least three points, which Yokoi lost in there), you sit up, and I roll like a log.
The hip out/hip switch I mentioned is just to keep from getting your near leg stuck under the guy. If you wait, you might have to tug it out, and you'll leave too much space, allowing for the guy to sweep you now or escape to his feet. If I remember correctly, Quinton did it perfectly, swinging his near leg out as Yokoi's back was about to touch it, so he stayed chest on chest through the move, then he immediately spread his base to pin him to the mat.
That's good Wrestling/Judo, and should be BJJ (though some guys overlook it, leaving space to work for subs).
