How To Escape Armbars!

[@peppertime1]

awsome clip professor... thanks to you and your wife for that chrismas gift. oss and respect.

[@Ryan21888]

I stood up in an armbar, once. 😬 Never again. Excellent video!

[@buckmills4159]

Thanks, coach. I recently got my elbow a bit beat up on a failed hitchhiker attempt. Can’t wait to try this safer escape.

[@HollyDollyTakahani]

I experienced the same thing recently. Why I’m here, this teacher is excellent

If anybody sees this and is struggling, it maybe easier to slow down and go through the following steps: 1. Go from your back to your side (using the windmill to get momentum helps) where your top knee is on top of your bottom knee. 2. Still laying on your side, replace the your bottom kneecap with your top kneecap (pretty much just sliding your bottom leg out and letting your top leg fall into where your bottom leg was) 3. Turn your belly to now face the ground 4. Bring your knees to your belly quickly 5. You should now be the position to use the short bursts to pull your arm out. This is how my BJJ coach taught it to me and has gotten me out of a good amount of armbars from this position. Hope this helps someone!

nice tom, thank you. 2:42 aim for the stars!

Looking at this from a striking perspective as so as she gets her arm free at 3:07 she could use that hook to spin the opponent and get in some defenseless headshots, kind of the same concept of shucking someone from a front headlock position in folk style wrestling to get to the back, this is excellent and there are so many options from that point you get your arm out, thank you

[@danythegrappler]

Awesome sir. I kind of tried this instinctively but wasn't sure how to finish, now I know :) Thanks for sharing.

[@RavenMessiah]

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Tom. :)

[@wm6549]

Great, thx!

[@ronchew391]

Love it! That was awesome!

Been learning jiu jitsu since june this year, finally signed up at an academy after putting it off for way too long, at my 42 years of age I wish I would have started sooner This discipline is ADDICTIVE!!! I’m going to use this technique on sunday for open mats 😬

[@MangoSmoothieYumYum]

Love this! Thank you 🙏

[@eschelar]

I use this a lot. It's great to get a hand underneath the leg first, but sometimes it doesn't happen. This still works really well for me. I am a big guy.

[@loganjensen8944]

This helps me alot.

[@juntjoonunya9216]

I like this one! I already know like a dozen other escapes, didn't really need another but good to have a variety to keep your opponents guessing

[@yashbhudia5302]

How do you get out of it if the guy im grappling with is bigger and his legs just don't let that momentum from the windmill work

[@jdt8983]

The couple who fights each other stays together

[@lorodz]

who the hell would thumbs down this video?

[@thebizness5596]

They doing the hitchhiker

[@nshreeishraja3167]

What do you call this escape coach ?

[@Barry-kk9vp]

What is short sharp burst?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Explosive rapid use of energy

[@fyodorberkovich8247]

I prefer to resist armbars using the Gabel grip, before hitch-hiking

[@nandezification]

Not really an arm bar. What do you if the arm is fully extended? Cause a bar is a straight thing, her arms were bent from the beginning, thus not an arm bar.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Tap

[@fredvalencia2205]

Wish it was as easy as that.

[@cbrit6206]

This is definitely a good one, but how about in gi? I find that its much harder for people to get armbars on me in no-gi when we have no-gi Wednesdays, but mostly we are in gi & they usually, instantly grab the cuff of the sleeve when stretching out like that, making that choke grab of your own arm, impossible.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Obviously an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure. Gi will always have a higher retention rate due to numerous factors

[@eigelgregossweisse9563]

This works if you're lying on your back. If he/she puts you in a position where you're front on your chest phew, what can we do?

[@daxaalc158]

easy theres a move that can make you escape any submission its called tap

[@circulatoric]

yeah but what if you want to actually win

[@nicklam66]

u have beautiful wife
