@coop422 I was hoping you'd like it. Also, if you go to the URL you'll see that the videos there (as well as all of our new videos) do not have the URL across the middle.
This wont work at my gym unless there's a new guy. We're taught if the guy on bottom clasps his hands to block the armbar use your foot to push his arms away and break his grip
i have been training BJJ for many years now and i have found placing the foot under the ribs vs over the chest more efficient because you can apply lift to your opponents shoulder. seeing this i might be a little more careful of that. i have managed to get this escape to work a couple of times like it is shown in the video but most of the time i end up in either north/south or side mount. thanks for the excellent escape guys. keep it up
^^Agree with OP. You will eventually find yourself in plenty of situations where not both legs are across your chest. As a counter to an armbar without both legs across you this is pretty cool. Thanks.
to all the dumb asses that are saying this wont work because of all the armbars that have both legs across the chest...the technique is the same if it does happen...but instead of rolling all the way over...you end up in a stack
This very cool. It would be funny to see both guys continuously flipping over one another in this attempt until somebody got dizzy and just passed out lol
*B. Buffer - Winner by passout via rolling circles..*
there are MANY times when this will be useful. in fact not only is this escape useful but so is that type of armbar. if you catch your shin just under your opponents back it will create more leverage and usually get a faster tap or break, depending on your situation. and that's why these techniques are important, because situations change.
nah, the legs are often forgotten in the heat of the fight...but I think most armbars go too fast to walk out...the opponent won't wait until you walked out with pulling/ripping on your arms (if they are clasped)
clearly some people watch ufc and dont understand that not all armbars have the double legs over, in bjj my frequent use of the armbar i prefer my foot next to the armpit and both knees touching, so in my case this would work well against my armbar however sometimes it differs on the scenario, there is no "bad tip" due to the fact that there he has shown if ur in that position he clearly got out of it, just because in ufc they do the double leg over doesnt mean it happens in all bjj, he knows!
@matt10413 You've never found yourself in an armbar where both legs weren't over your chest? Never from under side control, butterfly guard, falling armbar, etc? Bc yes- if both legs are across, it requires a different escape. However, the more you grapple, the higher the chances are that you'll find someone who will set up an armbar where both legs won't be across the chest. Therefore- it's not necessarily a "bad tip."
@TechniquePrevails Regardless of what everyone says or thinks,this is a good escape. I've used this escape hundreds of times with about a 70% success rate. The key is to always be two steps ahead of your opponent. If you can manage that you will be able to escape this Japanese Jiu Jitsu style armbar. Props bro!!
@matt10413 there are tons of situational escapes just like there are multiple side escapes for the different types of side control positions its not a bad tip at all its actually really legit i actually train jiu jitsu apparently you dont or youd know there are a lot of situations mostly from side controll you could end up with an armbar with a shin in their ribs
this will help mw so much lol my friend is a lot bigger than me, and i cant get him in any submissions without being thrown off, and all he ever goes for is armbars lol now i might actually be able to win
I've used this myself as an escape, but not to land an armbar of my own. The backroll works but the armbar at the end of it seems like it'd be low percentage.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no offense but very inaffective
a good BJJ guy will have both legs over, or will have the free one under his shoulder enough to hurt it enough u wont be able to move fast enough before ur arm breaks or all he has to do is rotate with u
First off, there are MANY times when a "good BJJ guy" will use more advanced setups for the armbar that do NOT result in the bottom leg being over. Is this technique fail-proof? No. I'm yet to find anything that is 100%. This is a very difficult and low percentage technique- but is one more option to escape the armbar. The easiest and best counter for any sub is to NOT GET IN IT to begin with. But if you do get in it, there are techs like this one to help you get out!
I tried it, it doesnt work with both legs over you because you can not get parallel with the opponent, instead ur stuck at perpendicular and can't get the leverage to flip up.
thats awesome. definitely going to start trying that.
and for the guy saying there is too much pressure to flip the other guy, who cares? if you don't hit the roll you're still in a position where you can easily turn into his guard. not as dominant as a counter armbar, but at least he doesnt have your arm anymore

Not necessarily true... There are many instances where the shin is along the ribs during the armbar. For instance: falling armbar; armbar from underneath side mount; armbars from transitional positions; etc.
Haha-- that being the case, then why ever train any escape for any position/submission? Because when they are applied fully and correctly, they are meant to submit/control you! I guess I should give on up any and all escapes. Thanks for opening my eyes to this concept!
I don't see how this would work if you opponent actually did a good armbar. The "armbar" set up in this video only has one leg across your neck, if he had the other leg across your chest it'd seem impossible to backroll...
You don't know of any armbar setups where the bottom leg is not across the chest? There's dozens of setups that end in this style of armbar, and I would urge you to explore some of them. There are quite a few at the site, so check them out!
