Reverse Armbar from Closed Guard (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a reverse armbar from the closed guard. Starting from the closed guard, Lucas underhooks one arm and traps it over his shoulder, connecting his hands together in a Gable grip. He unhooks his legs and places his foot on the floor to shrimp out on the same side as the opponent’s trapped arm. Lucas places his other foot on the opponent’s hip to prevent him from posturing up. Now, he passes his leg over the opponent’s back and uses his arm to push the opponent’s elbow toward the mat to complete the submission.
