Playing Guard with Arm and Collar Control to Armbar (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a technique that can be used to safely play guard and then go to the armbar. Both the opponent and Lucas start on their knees. The opponent places one knee up and Lucas controls that side collar. The other hand is used to grip the other side sleeve. Lucas places his foot on the opponent’s bicep. The opponent reacts by gripping Lucas’ opposite side knee. As soon as the opponent grips the knee, Lucas brings his own knee to the chest and pendulums to the side. Lucas now immediately goes for the armbar submission.
