Firas Zahabi Shows A Simple Arm Drag Progression Drill

The Arm Drag is one of the most basic wrestling techniques you can use to set up takedowns… And yet, a lot of BJJ athletes miss extremely important details when trying to hit it.

The arm drag is a technique where you hook and drag your opponent’s arm as you step forward. This opens up the side and back of your opponent for an attack. The main strength of the arm drag is its ease of use.

If you see an arm stray away from the torso, you can apply the technique right away, even with minimal set-up. It is a relatively safe technique (just be mindful of arm drag counters, aka redrags) and can be used in both gi and no-gi grappling. You can also apply the arm drag in many positions, the most common of which are the standing position and seated guard.

The Arm Drag begins with… What? Exactly – with an arm grab.
And before you learn how to drag someone’s arm, you need to learn how to get a grip on it.

Here’s a fun and simple drill that will make you better at this. Firas Zahabi shows it on the video below:

You don’t need a Gi to land big time throws and takedowns, and Travis Stevens is here to show you how with No Gi Takedowns.

  • Adapt your Judo game to No Gi!
  • Learn how to utilize no-gi grips to gain similar advantages over your opponent as you would with the gi.
