Part 1: Basic Arm Bar Setup from Closed Guard

This basic arm bar setup is a time-tested, solid method, and serves as the first part of a sequence I’ll be posting. It’s all about chaining submissions and moving from one to the next, so we will start here. Parts 2 and 3 coming soon on these short videos.

This is the simplest explanation of closed guard armbar I've ever seen. Perfect, thank you!

@@KnightJiuJitsu it’s a sick combination that has been working so well. We need more of these….keep up the great content.

How frustrating is it having to sort through 11 minute break downs? I love these shorts

[@MyDadIsBillGates]

[@Summerskies411]

Really very much like one of Gracie combatant white belt techniques.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Same lineage

[@stefanbjrgengen3353]

very nice:)

[@PayUntoCaesar]

Cool technique. I learned a little differently.

[@JediNiyte]

Freshly minted purple belt here, and this is what I don't get. Everybody makes arm control look SO danged easy, but for the LIFE of me I CANNOT hang on to an arm to save my LIFE without somebody posting up, yanking it out, etc. Is it just me? I have a long spine and short limbs, so I get that I'm not a natural closed guard player. But, UGH...

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s definitely not that easy and straightforward. What gets left out in the demo visuals a lot of time are the off balances and push/pull reactions. That’s how you really control a limb, is by forking them into giving you control over it.

[@JediNiyte]

@@KnightJiuJitsu Appreciate it, Coach. I think I've started to run into that spot where I'm having to start making real adjustments based on body type, and I'm not sure how to do that yet. I figure I'll probably have to schedule to time with my Professor for some fine-tuning. Keep up the good work, Sir!

Thanks my grandma didn’t stand a chance

Could i turn this into a folkstyle wrestling pin or no? Im trying to find inventive things that other wrestlers wont know/think of

[@frankiegodinez8864]

What’s with the blue bar on the brown belt?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

People under Royce Gracie use the blue bar on belts.

[@Jaguar-lr7jq]

What if his both hands are touching the matt?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I would probably go for something different.

[@Wakesix12]

why brown belts sleeves short like kata karate

[@eriksatterfield4755]

This seems more steps than the other way where you just break the posture and go into it

[@AdamJamesOfficial]

That way is ineffective against an experienced opponent who will see it coming a mile away. Also the elbow tends to slip out when using that method so you lose the armbar

[@THAREDROOM27]

I don’t think that would work In combat unless guy is really untrained and or tired af

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s an arm bar…from the guard…one of the most basic techniques in jiu-jitsu….it literally works all the time at every level in bjj, mma, etc. 🤦‍♂️

[@pimplepickerton]

Next time please talk faster. 🙏

[@lukej7283]

Why step into the hip? Such a useless novement, just bring both legs ovet the shoulders

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

There are quite a few reasons you might want to step on the hip during a setup. Springing both legs up is sometimes the better answer, and sometimes not. Things like energy, posture, size, etc., can change what the best way to approach a technique setup is. It’s not smart to completely dismiss something just because you heard a different way is “better” without understanding other situations that may require different approaches.

[@brandonreccejitsninja6076]

Also helps you raise your hips high to collect the shoulder to break their posture.
