This tape is a continuation of volume 1 with the following "master" list of positions and drills covered:

3. Floating hold / uki gatame
4. Mounted triangle hold
5. Hands and knees position
6. Flat on stomach position
7. Working off knees to get into a top position such as scarf hold
8. Spin-and-pin drill
9. Mount/guard rolling drill
10. Turnovers of opponent in turtle position
11. Striking possibilities against someone in turtle or hands and knees position
12. The Osae komi or Pinning kata (predetermined sequence of top positions, done as a continuous pattern for maximum muscle memory)
Moving from position to position is to either achieve a submission or to move to a superior position. To end the fight in a NHB or street context, strikes can also be included to achieve this aim. The idea of holding down an opponent for a certain length of time seems to be oriented mostly to sport competition, such as in Judo. Mr. Lala correctly makes the point that it is ironic how certain events call themselves NHB, when they disallow such tactics. In demonstrating these techniques Mr. Lala once again clearly shows how self defence oriented his mix of striking and grappling arts is.
This video follows Mr. Lala's typical format of showing many of the smaller, yet important details of the techniques, showing possible variations, counters to escape attempts and using, as usual, multiple angles where and when necessary. The Osae komi kata alone is worth the price of this tape.
