Video Transcript

"Now we are going to show you how to execute an arm bar from the outside position. Again going from the punch. I block and grab. I can strike the arm. Remember when you are about to any kind of arm bar, wrist lock or any kind of locking technique you definitely want to make sure that you are going to throw what we call loosening up technique. So even if it's a punch to the face to get her distracted from what's about to happen to her arm or strike to the arm itself so that it actually weakens up the muscles and everything. So you strike and then what you are going to do is you are going to take your arm and scoop into it. Keep in mind you are not going to try to turn your hand over. Instead you are scooping it up to your shoulder and rolling it over so you can execute a good arm bar. We are going to switch positions. So you can see it from the inside. She throws a punch. I block. Move out of the way. I throw a strike. I strike to the face again. I take my left hand if you are doing it to, she is throwing her punch with the right hand and you have blocked to the right side of her body. You are going to take your left hand scoop up and into the position. You can lay it across here into the bend of your arm and press down or you can bring it up onto your shoulder and actually press down from there and that can bring somebody down to the ground. Or, throw your punch again. Block, come around you can use it as a control or as a break. So there is two different, two different scenarios there that you can use it. So that is it. That is how to execute an arm bar up from the outside position."
