BJJ Instruction: Step-Over Arm Hug from Side Control

[Flyersberg21]

aigght im gnna try this next bjj class...even though its only two times a week in my program! jeez. anyway if it doesnt work, i'll make it work on you bro.

just playin good job, i will seriously try it tho

[jiujitsuphd]

alright i can appreciate the theory but anyone with any skill whatsoever is going to fight you putting their arm to the ground to avoid the americana... also if you have the position why take your weight off the guy when you could just finish him without the increased chance of losing position

Just another move to play with, sometimes it works, sometimes not..just like any move.

You Bet! Thanks for the support guys, I started posting the vids for my Students who miss class and can review at work or home. It's a risk sometimes when you get computer chair experts over analyzing moves.  I love Gi chokes myself, coming from a Judo background before starting BJJ. I will post some soon.

you have got no base at all with this move all he has to do is sit up.where did you get your purple belt from

[kosenjudo]

Actually you are quite wrong. It may appear that the base is weak due to showing this move very slow for instructional purposes. When this move is done quickly it is very effective, just like the S-Mount. Not every move is fool-proof, but that's what makes Jiu-Jitsu a chess match. I have had success with this particular mount or I wouldn't bother sharing it. I received my Blue Belt from Keith Owen and my Purple Belt from Carlos Gracie Jr. of Gracie Barra.
