paper cutter entrance - mount

To enter the paper cutter grip from mount to set up paper cutter chokes, tori begins in top mount position. Uke gets to their side, attempting an elbow escape or similar. Tori enters the position by underhooking uke’s near arm, swimming behind uke’s head, and securing the grip behind uke’s collar. From here, tori can remain mounted, or backstep off of uke into side control to begin attacking the choke in the traditional manner.
