This Armbar Will Blow You Away

The shotgun armbar is very sneaky. It will blow you away because it a shotgun.... haha lame joke. But anyways! I’ve been working on this armbar for a few years now and I’m starting to love it more than the traditional armbar.

You can catch people off guard very easily and it allows you to make different transitions even if you don’t get the armbar. You still end up with a tap or a sweep. So it is a win win for you.

It’s a fairly simple technique as well so it can be added to your arsenal in no time. you just have to get the initial opening your guard and stretching them out part down than you’re good to go.

Here is a video of me using the same grip for another armbar in a tournament

P.S. no liabilities

It's better if you omoplata the first two guys and then one arm RNC the other two - this way you can dominate 4 opponents while looking like a centaur.

I want to learn how to arm bar three people at the same time.

[panchitosuaringa]

i love the intro with chewie at the end coming out of nowere promoting the website..
That was epic and Hilarious! Lol

Great video, it appears a lot of people missed the joke.

[FightCommentary]

What if you have three people doing a triangle on your head? How would you get past that ;)

[jacobberg]

This is the perfect channel for me as I have exactly the same body type and proportions as you, Chad. Thank you!

You establish a safe distance and run away. Or you’ll get ur ass kicked. Street fights aren’t how you train to fight. Guy will get field goal kicked right in the head.

armbar certainly didn't blow me away but the opening did so i'll forgive you

Great stuff, Sir. Btw, Adam needs his own channel. I would subscribe day one. Silent movie-inspired Jiu-Jitsu techs, and tutorials. Make it happen!

[MrTallguyC]

Ok, thats easy but what if there are four attacking you, Huh?

[paintdrops]

thanks for the video, i have this same problem with the classic armbar (its never a surprise and i lose the position). i think this video could be better if you keep the submission until Adams tap so it would let clear the end of the move for us who have never seen it before. see ya;

[dmtjnani]

Great arm bar; always there. Appreciate the perspective. Nothing better than seeing thru the eyes of a knowledgeable player. One love

[xxkillingwavexxswag]

Hmm I need to try this next time I train triangles are my favorite submission's

[SSGokuone]

Yo that's is awesome bro keep it up.

[trentdistelhorst]

Can this work in no gi if we change the grips?

[hardcaliber]

Hiza gatame - judo version. Basic jujitsu/judo technique, but I do like the use of the grip to set it up.

Edited: indirectly identified it as sankaku gatame in my haste. Cheers.

[cheeseburns]

Chad bringing the good stuff yet again.

[fagundes]

Love the humor guys! Keep up the great work.

[aidenworley]

Lol quick someone like it. I made the count 666

[kirkdiesel]

This is pretty basic, my mind isn't blown away, terrible title, and he can chart wheel turn his arm and land in side control all in the same motion
