#4 Knowing How to Pin

The half nelson is one of the most commonly used pinning moves. When your opponent is face down on the mat, slide either your right arm under his right armpit or your left arm under his left armpit.

Next place the palm of your hand on the back of his head. While pushing on the back of his head lift his arm up with your arm and move your body to the side of his body.
