The Armbar from Closed Guard is one of the first submissions a new BJJ white belt learns. But, it’s also one of those submissions that – after a while – aren’t regarded with the same attention to detail as other techniques are, simply because it seems to be so „simple“ to do. However, Jiu Jitsu is a never-ending journey, with details you haven’t even thought about before… For just about every single technique out there.
And wouldn’t you know it, the Armbar from Closed Guard is one of those techniques. It isn’t enough to keep it simple; but you’ve got to turn it into a SUPER effective part of your submission arsenal.
BJJ RED BELT Relson Gracie, son of Grandmaster Helio Gracie demonstrates and explains exactly that – how to turn your „regular“ Armbar into what he calls a “reading the newspaper Armbar“ because it looks you are doing just that.
