Pebbling underneath a side control, or making both people a parallel log, without ability for top player to post, is a means to reversal, from bottom position to not bottom position.
There is also the concept of uki waza.
Again summoning @BKR to present with his very short, ginger, Bak Mei presence.
i do not wish to have to do violence, to those who in their foolishness, have been indoctrinated, to mistake me for a Nazi, because I refuse to comply with Nazi-like propaganda demands.
From the Left or the Right.
Nor do I wish to be subjected to violence for the same horrible absurdity.
I was doing a sweep where you bring the opponent’s weight on top you when you are in bottom side control and just role them over using your far hip as the fulcrum when it first clicked for me to use hard points on my body and proper leverage around my opponents center of gravity more when grappling to move people more effectively and with far less effort around the mat. It just felt so effortless when I got it down. I realised I was just trying to muscle most of my maneuvering and not really doing proper jujitsu or grappling in general.
My Judo coach, from about the time I was 18, until I was much older, was about 6’4" tall. And, in the time frame (1982 until 1988, in person, at least), was a USA Judo Elite Athlete, at - 95 kg), could stop me from throwing him, even though I could get full under him, with a seoi nage, fairly easily.
so there is more involved…
I was competing at -65 kg at the time, for reference.
SAme thing for my Japanese judo coach, in Ft. Worth, TX (Michinori Ishibashi, for the curious).
Right, non-transitive. I saw a guy his size throw him with seoi nage, at the US Open, though. He did a Seoi Otoshi though. And was his size, and a lot better at Judo than I am, or ever was.
Some of the best Judo I ever saw, on both parts, was were my student got thrown, thrown big time, and both parties were not injured, and we were grateful for the match, and so was the other party, who threw my student.
Some of the best Judo, I ever saw, I have video of!
One of my students, at Canadian Nationals, in u18 or u21, can’t recall, *women, set up her opponent and entered for osoto gari, caught her opponent perfectly, and converted to osoto otoshi, mid throw, because she realized, she didn’t want to knock out (concuss), a inferior opponent, (again), because some stupid coach had her opponent in above her head, for the “experience”.
A that moment, I’d have promted her to black belt (shodan), but, wasn’t in my power to do so.
She had to earn it via batsugan, at the Canadian Elite 8 Nationals, a year or so late.
