Pic of the week - Control

i decided this could be pic of the week because it shows why hold downs are so importnant. if you cannot control your opponent, you cannot armbar them. Control first...submission second.
A good definition i read of a hold down, was "hold downs are used to immobolize your opponent..once in control then submit them."
