Armlocks from open
guard
This weeks
technique is a squeeze lock from the open guard - sometimes called the 'spider
guard' This lock can be difficult to apply correctly against
someone who knows it, so I will show an additional armlock that can
be used in sequence. When applying these techniques, you want to
avoid leaving too much space in between you and your opponent - this
is a general rule in grappling: When Attacking - Close up the Space,
When Defending - Create Space. We have left extra space in
demonstrating the techniques so that all the details can be seen.

1. Grab your opponents gi sleeve as shown, rotate
your leg around the outside of his arm and hook your foot under his
armpit.
NOTE: Be sure to grab your opponent's gi sleeve with
your fingers on the outside - BJJ Sport rules prohibits grabbing the sleeves
of the arms & legs with 4 fingers on the inside. |

Hook behind his armpit with your foot. |
2. Pull his arm in close to you - using your leg
and arm. Be sure not to let his arm go! At this point he may try to
pass your other leg - this is O.K. - you will want your leg there anyway,
so let him do it. |
 |
 |
3. Once he has passed your leg, make a
triangle(figure 4) with your legs, keep his arm in, and pull his
shoulder down. The act of pulling down on his shoulder should complete
the squeeze lock on his arm. |
IF HE DOESN'T TAP FROM THAT ... GO TO PLAN 'B'
 |
4. Maintain your grip on the arm you were trying
to lock. With your other arm, push his hips away so you have room to pivot
on your back underneath him (we made some extra space here with the legs
so you can see the movement) - I am spinning on my back so that my head will
come out on his left side.
|
 |
5. Spin around until you are side-by-side, then sit
up to apply this shoulder lock as shown. Be sure to keep some weight
across his back so he can not roll out. To apply pressure, lean toward his
head. |
DISCLAIMER!! Please note that these techniques
should only be practiced with a trained or certified instructor. Failure
to do these moves correctly could result in serious bodily injury or in some
cases, death! .
