Arm Bar Variation in MMA

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I am Angel Perez, with Champion Martial Arts in Miami, Florida. And today we are going to teach you mixed martial arts techniques. Now I will be demonstrating, pretty much the same type of arm bar, with a different twist to it. Again I'm going to try to control one arm, I am going to always rotate my hips to the side with the leg I'm going to use. I'm going to throw this leg over his neck, and he is going to try and get away from it by going backwards, I'm going to push him back controlling the arm, always never let go of the arm, my buttocks right under his shoulder, this time his thumb pointed up, it will straighten his elbow. He right away taps out, this is very painful, and if you don't tap out quickly you can do a lot damage to your elbow or your shoulder. Again from the same side, brings his arm up high, control it, quick, step over, that is the arm bar and you saw him tap out very, very quickly. It is a very painful technique."
