Cross Collar Choke Attempt to Armbar from Closed Guard (Intermediate)

Professor Donovan Espinosa teaches how to get the armbar submission after attempting a cross collar choke from the closed guard. Donovan has the opponent in his closed guard and starts going for the cross collar choke. The opponent defends by placing his arms under Donovan’s and pushes up. Donovan now opens his guard and places one foot on the opponent’s hip. The other leg is brought up to the opponent’s armpit and Donovan pushes the opponent away with his arms. He now brings his other leg over the head to finish the submission with the armbar.
