Reverse Armbar from Closed Guard (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get a reverse armbar from the closed guard. Lucas starts with the opponent in his closed guard. In this scenario, the opponent has their arm over Lucas’ shoulder. Lucas takes advantage of the arm being in that position to keep it isolated and controlled. He then turns to the side using his hand on the shoulder and bottom foot on the hip to slightly move back. This motion extends the opponent’s arm. Lucas now finishes the reverse armbar by bringing his top leg over the shoulder and squeezes everything together.
