5 Uses For The Arm Crunch - Ude Gatame - Jiu-Jitsu Submissions

The arm crunch, or ude gatame if you like the Japanese words, is an extremely useful, quick and deceptive submission in its own right. However, it can also be used to set up great opportunities for sweeps and transitions to other submissions, as well. In this video, I show the fundamental mechanics of the arm crunch, as well as using it for the following purposes:
- Hiza Gatame from Butterfly Guard
- Triangle Choke (Sankaku Jime) Transition
- Sumi Gaeshi Sweep from Butterfly
- Heel Hook from Backside 50/50 Set Up
- Application from Kesa Gatame
Big Thanks to Ed Stahl from ‪@metrolinamartialarts‬ for the uke skills!
Hope you like it!

Agreed YT serves search results. I click and think "wow this video is great." Almost every time I then notice that the video is a Knight BJJ video.

"Evangelist control" , "be HEALED, or I break your arm" 😂

[@ninjasec]

great stuff

[@HamzaShams_]

Can you make a video on how to takedown a person who is on the ground and kicking ?

[@user-lh4hv3tx8b]

I was paying close attention in the kesa gatame part till you said "evangelist control" and framed with you palm on his head and then I bust out laughing lol.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s one of my favorite things. I borrowed the technique but named it that myself.

[@carlosdlonga6507]

Thanks to Both guys.. Idea: It would be Great for Both do a Video of transitions from Standing to Ground in street fighting combining JKD and BJJ
