We’ve recently been working on some armbars in class and I wanted to build on that.
Here are three videos that I like showing the nitty gritty of the technique, one with the gi, the other two without. I think they cover most of the pointers we talked about in class:
- Head control -> controlling opponents posture.
- Grip the triceps -> attempt to get opponents arm into dangerous territory (the wrong “body-hemisphere”)
- Angle hips so you are attacking from the side (3 o’clock positioning)
- Keep knees tight (thighmaster squeeze) and ankles seperated.
- Pull arm towards their hip, bridge up elevating yours.
.
Each video shows a different take on the armbar, but notice what they do that is the same. As a professor might say, compare and contrast them. Anyway, enjoy.
