3
Body lock (standing) Fundamental
Both arms locked around their waist, chest to chest or from the side. One of the safest ways to control a standing opponent: it sets up trips and throws and keeps you out of guillotines.

Sprawl (shot defense) Fundamental
They shoot for your legs and you throw your hips back and down onto their shoulders. Done on time, it turns their takedown into your front headlock or a go-behind.
