One time when I was in Jiujitsu my opponent swept me off my feet and took my back. It was not looking good for me. My opponent tried to get the rear naked choke on me but I defended by tucking my chin and pulling his arm away from my neck. With all my might I pulled his arm down and turned to my back. I was safe for now but I still had to secure a postion. I felt my opponent shift his weight and I quickly swung my body around over top of him and I established a firm mount position. I pretended to do an ezikiel choke but quickly transfered over to an "S" mount. I squeezed my legs together and pulled his arm down for the most perfect arm bar I have ever done. The higher belts at the gym said I ought to be promoted to a higher belt level.
