Raise your hand if you started training even a little because of something you saw Frank Grillo do in The Avengers, either brother do in Warrior, or Jason Statham do in Homefront. This armbar is for you. (Neeeerds!)
Okay, so…look, tried and true armbar technique where you mindfully and isolate and then hyperextend the joint is going to serve 90% of all practitioners better than any fancy rolling guard grab submissions. (Unless you’re a next level evil monkey trying to execute this one during NAGA is probably going to end in public humiliation.) But training to be a superhero without storing at least a few showy superhero moves in your arsenal is counter to training to be a superhero. So save the comments about practicality and tap into your inner Captain America with this sexy armbar from Haifa’s Timura BJJ. It looks and feels so right.
