Grip Trick to Stop Armbar Defense Before It Starts (From Side Control)

A frustrating situation in Brazilian Jiujitsu that everyone has experienced is getting everything setup for an Armbar, sitting back and then having your opponent defend it. Years ago I had a friend I trained with who had excellent Armbar defense and so I had to figure out a way to deal with this kind of situation.

In today’s BJJ technique video I show you a small adjustment I make when I go for an armbar using the figure 4 kimura style lock on the arm. The adjustment is literally a 2-4 inch adjustment. What it does is allow us to weaken the grip the person can use to setup their defense.

Give it a try then next time your going for an armbar from top position in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training or rolling.
