Step 1
Hold your partner's left forearm with your right hand and their right upper arm with your left hand as you stand approximately a foot apart.
-
Step 2
Slip your right arm underneath your partner's arm catching them around the waist as you move your left hand up towards your partner's lower torso. At this point the partner should still be trying to attack and will step toward you.
-
Step 3
Place your left arm over your partner's left shoulder in a hugging position as they move closer toward you. Your partner should have their arms both hooked underneath yours as they are somewhat pinned by your hugging hold.
-
Step 4
Grab opponent's right tricep muscle with your left hand as you lean into their right arm. In a real fight, this grip would include pinching or grabbing the opponent very hard. Remember, this is only practice and there should be no attempt to harm or injure your partner.
-
Step 5
Balance your weight using a foot technique that includes touching your right toe to your left heel 2 or 3 times as you get your weight ready to flip your partner. As the feet move, the hips rotate preparing for the move. Perform this step simultaneously with Step 6.
-
Step 6
Pull right arm out from partner to in front of your own chest as you twist the right arm counter clockwise allowing the body to follow the arm as you twist around so that you end up with your head temporarily locked inside your opponent's arm. Think of your arm as a windmill arm as you spin.
-
Step 7
Grip your opponent's bicep with your right arm and prepare for your next move. At this point your partner can be flipped over the top of you and finished with a pin hold on the ground. The arm spin allows you to set up several moves, the choice of which is up to you.
