Closed Guard to Armbar (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates an armbar setup and execution from closed guard. He shows how to control the opponent's collar and sleeve to create the initial control. Key details include keeping the knee close to the shoulder to trap the opponent's elbow and using leg placement and hip movement to create the proper angle. He explains how to transition to the armbar by passing a leg over the opponent's head, releasing the collar grip, and securing the wrist. The technique emphasizes controlling the opponent's arm and finishing with a slow, controlled extension to avoid injury.
