When I first started judo, I was taught that variaton of the side mount. I don't have any qualms with the clinch they show here - we use it in muay thai, along with other variations. It's great if your opponent is taller than you and you are having a hard time reaching and keeping control of the crown of his head. shove your head into his jaw, causing discomfort and restricting his head movement, giving you a certain amount of control over him. However, I do have a problem with where his opponent's arms are. IMO, he's giving him too much freedom of movement.
