ARMBAR: step by step in jiu-jitsu

SUBMISSIONMOUNT · ON TOP

Step by step

In mount, close your knees and hide your feet; work two on one: one hand on his wrist, the other behind the triceps.
Move the attacked arm slightly to the side and keep his other arm aligned with your belly button.
Post your hand near his head and SLIDE your knee forward without lifting that knee off the floor.
With the hand posted, lace his arm; the other hand lifts his arm so it cannot return to the floor.
Fold the rear leg and sit on his abdomen, still controlling the arm.
Concentrate all your weight on his abdomen to stabilize the position before falling.
Swing the other leg over his head BEFORE falling back; falling first gives him room to escape.
Only then fall back, close your knees and pull until his arm is completely straight.
Rotate his hand until the thumb points up and raise your hips: he will tap.
