Learn how to do the arm bar from Team Radical MMA head coach Rene Dreifuss in this Howcast MMA video.

Alright guys. Now I'm going to talk about arm bars from the guard. Now, arm bar is a very widely used technique, but if you use it wrong, you get stacked or ground pounded. I'm going to show you how not to use it first. Okay. Okay. Don't do this. Don't do this. Okay? You have to break the posture first. Break the posture. Shift out. Lock over his shoulder. This is a type of high guard. Or, if Chad gets a really big punch, here. Gets a really big punch. I'm going to block it. Just like I blocked Muy Thai. Right? Bring it over. Control the posture. And come up. Okay? One more time. Chad punches. He comes around. Boom. I let it slide over. Boom, I'm here. Right. He starts bringing his arm back. Before he does, I come over his shoulder. To this position. High guard.

Squeeze your legs. Now you can grab the arm. I prefer to grab my shin and pull it really tight. Bring the arm over. Now. He's going to stack in. Bridge up on one shoulder this way. If he still doesn't tack, right. Sometimes things happen. He'll pull his arm out. Go to the. Bend. Punch. Beat. Maybe you missed the arm. Come up. Boom, boom, boom. Take the back.

Okay, one more time. ... He's punching. Boom. Pull it across. Hug him. Shift. High guard. Grab your shin. Boom. Now keep this foot not down here. Here. Tight, here. He drives in. Bridge. Look at my bridge. Chad, punch me with your free hand. See that? I'm bridging this shoulder up. Finishing. If it doesn't happen, we'll kick then, finish him. Right? Finish him. Boom. He gets his arm out, maybe. That's okay. We're right in this spiral position. Boom, boom. Boom. Take the back. [pause]

That's how you're going to do the arm bar from the guard.

I feel sorry for that kid. His face at 2:52 screams help me!!!

The whole "jiu-jitsu is great against larger opponents" is true. I've been practicing with my little 8 year old brother and I let him get me in the right position, then when he puts his leg over and pulls down, it really does hurt even though he's tiny. Granted I don't actually try to resist and I'm twice his weight and age, he probably could beat a kid who's a decent amount bigger than him.

these guys makes it look so easy.  you would need to practice this quite a bit to get the technique correct.

This is an explanation of course but this shows HOW TECHNICAL and brutal this sport is. I'm glad that such explanations help people comprehend the level of mental fitness that such competitors needs in this brutal sport. It's highly technical asking insane cardiovascular endurance.

Great explanation.

Great video. To the point and with good technique.

Learned this in Taekwondo. My teacher would teaches us lots of stuff from boxing, jiu jitsu, hapkido, judo, etc.

once i was wrestling my cousin because we were bored and i dont even know what happened but as soon as i got him on the ground i did a beautiful arm bar and he tapped out in 3 sec, what is weird is that i never learned how to fight, i guess i just watched to much wrestling or something like that, but i still felt super proud of it lol

[Cowellini]

As a 5’2 guy i feel Im ready now. I will defeat every ufc men out there with this arm bar!!

[Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

[fooltruth]

Omg that's Chad from @scenicfights

[nonyabiz]

When I did this training this was a really hard move to ever see in completion and it was epic if it ever was done. I saw only a couple of nicely done arm bars and only seen it a few times in a UFC fight that I can remember.. Still really good stuff to learn!

[luzsot]

Thank you so much! It worked so well that my cousin never woke up :D
