Pins involve putting your knees in someone's armpit or around their shoulder, so you can control their arm easily. If you're working with someone with long hair or a large chest, be careful! I've nailed and been nailed in the boob and had my hair trapped before. Try putting your knee down outside the spot and then sliding into position.

Fortunately this is pretty rare, but can be disastrous...

(How about submitting a marmot?)
