Basic Armbar From Mount

In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), the Basic Armbar From Mount is a fundamental and highly effective submission technique. When in a dominant position on top of an opponent, known as the mount, the BJJ practitioner can capitalize on the opportunity to execute this technique. To perform the Basic Armbar From Mount, the practitioner secures control of their opponent’s arm, usually by gripping the wrist and applying pressure to isolate it. Then, with a swift movement, they swing their leg over the opponent’s head, positioning their shin across the neck and shoulders while maintaining control of the arm. This forms a tight triangular configuration that puts immense pressure on the opponent’s elbow joint. By applying leverage and control, the BJJ practitioner can force their opponent to submit, making the Basic Armbar From Mount a vital technique for practitioners of all levels to master.
