Spinning Armbar From Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Frederico Silva teaches how to get the spinning armbar, starting from the side control. Frederico has the opponent in the side control position and the opponent tries to escape by under hooking and pushing. Frederico brings his outside arm over the head and places it on the mat. He uses his other hand to grip the opponent’s arm and lifts it up. This raises the opponent’s shoulder off the mat. Frederico now posts on the mat with his free hand and pivots on his knee so he can spin over the opponent to the other side. From here, while still controlling the arm, Frederico gets the armbar.
