Submeta – Belly Down Armbar

Submeta – Belly Down Armbar

You can land in the belly down armbar position when you spin out of a closed guard armbar stack, they bridge on top from the armbar, you go for the choi bar, or you are falling off the back. Whilst you still have the armbar position, this is a common point where the opponent will escape. In this course, you will learn three major attacks: Separating their grips for the armbar itself, rolling them over to the standard armbar position, and going for the back. The course also covers troubleshooting for the times when your opponent places good defense and how to navigate through this. Prior to this course, it is recommended that you study the intermediate armbar course, and this course goes well with advanced courses on finishing the armbar, choi bar, and closed guard arm across.
