ELBOW POINT - ARM BAR SERIES

ELBOW POINT

Step One: Reach under your opponent and take control of their wrist.

Step Two: Use your knee as a pivot point.

Step Three: With your free hand reach back and grab your opponents opposite ankle.

Step Four: Rotate onto your back while pulling your opponent’s ankle. Use your free leg to lift your opponent and turn them onto their back.

ARM BAR SERIES

After step two:

• Under control, elevate their wrist and place their arm on their back.
• Do not bend the elbow joint past ninety degrees! This is illegal and considered a dangerous position.
• Under control, sit on your opponent with their arm trapped on the side of your body. From picture one, their right arm would be trapped between your left side and left arm.
• Block their opposite arm, similar to the half nelson technique, and circle to the left with your hips facing the mat.
• Finish chest to chest, and try to control or elevate their head.

Note: three major safety concerns with this series:

1. Do not let the arm go past ninety degrees
2. Block the outside arm
3. Circle around the body, NOT over the head
