The Mounted Armbar (s mount): Step by Step and Tricks

[guitarnukka724]

thanks a lot for putting this vid up, you are a great instructor and every single video you guys have helps even if i already know the technique. i'm going to apply this and see if my mounted armbars improve. thanks again!

[Fatalshot24]

Is there a possible problem if I dont feel anything from arm bars? I mean its only on one side but the guy who did it was an accomplished instructor but he was trying to get me to tap but I didn't feel any need to..? Any ideas? And he was going 100% and full speed

[XxDrago16xX]

Can you do some Judo variations?

[MrChanceCottle]

Hey Ari, what's your thoughts on crossing the legs when you perform an armbar? Sometimes it's a instinct of mine to cross the legs when I take a arm, but my jiu-jitsu coach says that's a no-no.

[luchador1764]

the hardest part to getting to s-mount, is getting to a high mount initially. once you get to a high mount, its relatively easy to transition to s-mount. and once you're in s-mount, its relatively easy to get a submission.

[TheDslide]

hahahahaha T-REX LMFAO !!!! HAHAHAH OR HOME ALONE ! PFAHAHAHHAHA

[balletman]

This is one of my highest percentage set ups for an armbar. I usually finish from the top without falling back. That way, it seems like the arm lock is instantly tighter and there's less chance of an escape. It's also a great option for MMA because if you're balanced well, you have one free hand to distract your opponent with strikes so he gives up the arm more easily. Excellent demonstration!

[demon39063]

Really good quality instruction -- nicely done :)

[Kanawanu]

yea sweeps when someone has high mount,and maybe defences of darce ,guillotine,would be nice!!awesome vids!!!

[GracieHK]

THANKS



[bad13mens]

I noticed you crossed your feet when you went for the armbar? Is it simply used for control or is there any difference when you do not corss your feet? 

[seidlej]

sweet gi

[rommyali]

what is the advantage of hooking his leg.

is that the spider web?

[hkdharmon]

@rommyali A lot of guys will try to bridge to escape the armbar. If you hook the leg, it is much harder to bridge. It also just ties them down that much tighter.

[steeler43013]

@rommyali yea thats called spider web its so he cant raise up on his knees

[RickMerchantttt]

This is my favorite armbar from mount set-up. We did this in class a couple months ago, and I instantly loved it for it's control. The way you can keep your weight on your opponent, and how it allows you to attack an opponent who's t-rexing have helped immensely. When I demonstrated this to my friends, I simply called it "The Douche Armbar", simply because it puts so much pressure on the bottom guy. =P

[JarJarAssault]

I wish i was good enough at BJJ to be able to effectively do this stuff. I may suck but still love BJJ. Thanks for the video!

[crocopitateya]

I use the S mount a lot because I have short limbs and it just seems to work better, I usually fake Americana or Kimura on the opposite arm and then secure the arm closest and fall back with a very tight armbar.

[schaelakhan]

do I see a little catchwrestling influence.That probably comes from experience...love the vidsThanks for sharing

[SLADEizGOD]

you guys really stepped up my game with your videos..Great job and many thanks.

[MRTRKSTR]

home alone hahahaha

[JdawgMMAblog]

Something I do is, instead of basing on the ground with the right hand I'll try to push his left knee to the ground. This turns him to his left a little making the arm bar even tighter.

[stevvvveeeen]

@sharkfinnigan

Maybe your mount is too high? Have you tried hooking underneath your opponents legs while on top?

[stevvvveeeen]

Very nasty tight armbar

[Juijitsu9]

what about doing the americana instead at 4:30 , then go for the armbar if he defends the americana?

[rubberguard83]

UG said i should stay away from your videos. .....

[Juijitsu9]

@rubberguard83 whos UG?

[starkyliam]

lol me and my friend were grappling the other day and i apparently already knew this lol ^.^ but thanks for the tips, cuz i did struggle with it a bit.

[sharkfinnigan]

id love to pull this off, but at this point of my grappling career its really hard for me to work from mount, i get swept more than anyone in class, its kinda sad to not have anything up my sleeve for such a dominant position, im hoping the s mount will help me set up an armbar a little easier

[chan518]

what's that sound at 5:11? haha

[josh1212121]

the home alone. HAHAHA!!!

[rrsd69]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[32deej]

"this makes it difficult for him to breathe"

*nod*

[WuldMostLiklyTapThat]

Bwah!

"The home alone"..very nice

love your videos :D

[masterblastertkd]

Dope gi. I love it. Also, some great tips! I especially like the tip regarding the defending arm.

[lightoflothlorien]

hey Ari could you upload a video of how to do the Monkey Mount/Gangsta Lean? and if possible the options off that position~

[BootyBot]

I learned not to pull the arm directly down in an armbar the hard way. my training partner wouldn't tap to my armbar so I pulled harder and literally crushed my dick with his forearm. it hurt so bad it felt like I was gonna piss blood.

[randywilliams1234]

@BootyBot lol you made my day ahahaha but yea... same here lol on the leg damit ahah

[VomitShovel]

@BootyBot Been there bro. Armbar turns to dickfold/dickcrush and you WISH you hit your nuts rather than that.

Wear a cup.

Cup cup cup cup cup

[MitchMurphy182]

I know this is submission101 but I'd love to see some sweep tutorials.

[Submissions101]

@MitchMurphy182 we have a ton and actually have one coming up next upload. Submissions 101 is simply our name for "everything Jiu Jitsu" ;-)

[MrBodies07]

@Submissions101 well may as well be everythig grappling now, as youve added wrestling and some akido as well :D Loving the added variety

[mrjman2541]

@Submissions101 its like pxxn lol

[MessyRTK]

@MitchMurphy182 Thats when you know you are Ari good, is when you can submit someone with a sweep! ;)

[alienmode]

@MitchMurphy182 they have like 500 videos you dildo

[turmat01]

leaning forward... cool. I'll try this out, it may help a lot! Because Everything always goes to hell when I fall back with the arm...

Thanks Ari!

[SGrulez1]

Great vid. My instructor called this the lazy armbar. The way we learned this was to hold the nearest leg so the guy cant buck. Is doing this a good idea? Thanks for all the great vids!

[omglolftwbbq]

What if they are stronger than you or older and you cant finger walk there arm upwards?

[mmafan400]

@omglolftwbbq

distract him with a choke and then switch, or just work something else. don't force anything

[omglolftwbbq]

@mmafan400 Yeah, I usally just pressure him with a baseball bat choke or something and then get his arm up and follow with the knee, thanks!

[GJJalltheway]

i was getting worried ari. havent seen many videos from you guys lately. love the video! keep them coming!

[TheRoyalFreshness69]

nice

[8701F]

Nice & Simple!

[chavamma]

Nice one are, Dude you should demo some AIKIDO mix it up it's always BJJ & Wrestling bro just some thoughts show of your ShoDan skills

[weroberts8]

leaning forward when you take his arm was the most helpful tip could you guys upload some more defense and sweeps when someone has mounted you

[steeler43013]

will yall start doin more no gi stuff again this looks like u could do it no gi too

[waldomarek]

@steeler43013 this does work with no gi.. no offense, but can't you just use your imagination instead of requesting for no gi versions of moves that can be done with and without the gi? :S

[steeler43013]

@waldomarek dude i just asked if they would do more no gi stuff they havent done a no gi video in a while i like gi stuff its just where i train we do no gi thats all and im guessing u do gi jiu jitsu i didnt say nothing about gi i just dont do it. dont take it so personaly that someone trains no gi, and i didnt ask if u can do it no gi i just said it looks like that would work on no gi too even tho its not no gi
