The Achilles Trap is a great option for reversing a side control position, taking you into half guard options. The Achilles Trap is a variation on the Achilles Half Guard. See details for Old School Escape from Side Control using the Achilles Trap at http://bjjtech.com/tech/tech-detail.asp?id=362, and http://bjjtech.com/tech/tech-detail.asp?id=365.
