Standing to open guard sweep to knee-on-belly to armbar
Here’s the second technique we went through in BJJ Class 141. Sorry, I haven’t decided what to name the new snowboard instructor just yet…
Noob and Boarder both standing. Boarder has a deep grip on Noob’s lapel.
Boarder jumps up to pull guard. Right leg first…
…then the left leg just a split second behind, that’s one leg at a time. Boarder crosses his ankles to get closed guard. His deep lapel grip helps to keep him upright. But he doesn’t want to stay in that position.
Boarder releases the closed guard, releases his deep collar grip, and goes on his shoulders on the mat. At the same time, he also grabs Noob’s right sleeve with his left hand.
Boarder pulls on Noob’s right arm as he plants his left foot on Noob’s bicep, just like in spider guard.
At the same time, Boarder hooks his right foot just under Noob’s right knee.
And at the same time, he grabs Noob’s left leg with his arm. (Note: Boarder’s left leg is still tight on Noob’s right arm, it just looks like it isn’t in the photo, but it should be)
Boarder then shrimps right, so that he puts himself under Noob. (Note: Again, Boarder’s left leg is still tight on Noob’s right arm)
The position should look like this, but with Boarder’s left hand gripping Noob’s right sleeve.
While pulling Noob’s right arm toward the mat in a big circle and simultaneously lifting up with his hooked right leg, Boarder is able to make Noob fall forward…
…and sweep Noob and use the momentum to help get Boarder into knee-on-belly.
Boarder still has his grip on Noob’s right sleeve. Boarder quickly controls Noob’s right arm…
…brings his leg over and falls back to finish with an armbar.
