this is such a simple armbar but very effective, i use it all the time.

Notice it was a demo and he explained each step in detail. If he were to use it in a fight he'd obviously go faster. Besides, the 1st variation doesn't really need that much speed. Once you've managed to plot you knee beside his head, you've basically pinned him. From there just make sure you swing your leg around and over his face and the technique is pretty much done.

@Leendoncasti use a protection cup

[cook13m0nsta]

@uyyii1 well an ametur would most likely be paying attention to the arm thats getting pushed down

[mightygalfred]

@Leendoncasti the way your legs are wrapped and you should have a tight enough grip the main part to get right in this from my experience which is just having submission only fights with mates and they do get a bit outof hand sometimes :L, is you have to clamp your legs

[misterjehad]

i jus started mma, and this is probly the best submission to start off with.

[uyyii1]

what if he punches you in the first variation?

[chrismayvery]

[Leendoncasti]
