Key steps

  1. Climb to high mount and hug one of their arms tight to your chest.
  2. Slide one knee up beside their head as they turn or push on you.
  3. Fold your other leg so your foot tucks in close to their side.
  4. Keep your weight on their chest and the arm hugged while they try to turn.
  5. Swing your leg over their head into the armbar when they stop defending.

Key details

  • Stay heavy on their chest; leaning back too early lets them sit up.
  • Keep the arm hugged the whole time, because it holds the position together.
