Absolutely the best instructionals I have seen on YouTube. You sir are a philosopher and tier one professor. Bravo. I have learnt so much watching these videos. I was struggling to land in the right spot with this armbar. You have solved that problem. Thank you

I have bad pliability in my hips making that step over difficult. I love your detail about leaning in against the hip line. That should probably open up my mobility a bit. Thanks for posting.

Thank you LG! I've been doing this for years, but these variations will definitely improve my percentages. Much respect from USA!

This is very powerful! Love the option from knee on belly and all the little additions you have spoken about!

Great work on the video. Very well put together, explaining, demonstration, and SLOW FREAKING MOTION !!!!

[SvenKoch]

Great tutorial! 👏 I haven't been able to train for most 2021 and my submission game has gotten real rusty! I'll be drilling this technique this week, thank you!

[EddieLovesYou]

Great instruction, and the production hits a perfect balance for me

This video is an answer to prayers...thank you!!!!

[PIOT]

Those details are priceless. I won’t be putting my knee down anymore 😳

…would love to see you do an s mount armbar video and talk through details how to keep them pinned throughout the technique!

Amazing video! Great details. Live armbar videos at the end was icing on the cake!

5:20 I see this explained a lot as "step over the head". I first learned a decent armbar when I discovered to "step around the head" and not "over" it. I think "step around the head" is a better way to explain. Great vid. Thx

I really like how you pin his arm with the right leg.

[Simon-dbmj]

So much awesome details! I felt like in no gi this was a low percentage attack for me. I will implement some of these into my game. Absolute legend!

[chrisgammel]

Your videos are always awesome. Very detailed!

Top BJJ instructional material again, but I want to know about your soundtrack. It's so good again

Big fan of finishing more 45 to the opponents legs opposed to the common 90 degrees.

Many thanks for this excellent video! We have been trying this technique out in training recently and the guy underneath was often able to come up when the man on top turns and sits down. Am I right in thinking that the tip about blocking the back of uke with the foot and keeping the knee up while swiveling should address the issue of uke using tori's momentum to escape? Keep up the brilliant work!

It really should be called 'the farmbar'.

Am I right in thinking that from the moment you go knee on belly and grab the far arm, the head comes up, so could you force a dilemma between going for the far side arm-bar or dropping to the north south strangle??
