Armbar from mount

Also called Juji gatame from mount

A straight arm lock from the top. Once one arm is separated from their body, you climb into S-mount and fall back with a leg across their head.

Key steps

  1. Climb to high mount and isolate one arm, getting their elbow off the mat.
  2. Shift into S-mount with that arm hugged to your chest.
  3. Swing your leg over their head and sit down close to their shoulder.
  4. Pinch your knees, keep their thumb up, and lift your hips to finish.

Key details

  • Sit as close to their shoulder as you can; a gap lets them pull the elbow free.
  • Keep the arm hugged while you swing the leg; letting go mid-move loses the arm.
  • Control their head with your leg so they can't sit up into you.
