ALL ABOUT ARMBARS! This week we’ll be discussing the intricacies of the armbar, specifically from the Guard position. We’ll begin by learning the offensive side of the Submission, which explores how to break our opponent’s posture and isolate their arm prior to seeking the tap. We’ll also add in the Flower Sweep to have as a counter if they defend!
