Also known as: Knee on Stomach · Knee Ride · KOB · Uki Gatame
The top player posts one knee across the opponent’s torso, staying mobile and heavy at once. It scores like a pin but plays like a transition — the discomfort forces reactions (pushing the knee, turning away) that feed armbars, baseball chokes, and mount.

Knee on Belly Escape — Get out from under the knee ride without feeding the armbar: turn INTO the knee with a hip escape and slip the knee line back into half guard.
