Gustavo Machado (in the blue gi) has Gordo (in the white gi)
inside his guard. Gustavo has the standard grip, holding both of Gordo's gi
sleeves.
|
|
Gustavo reaches under Gordo's left arm and grabs over the top
of Gordo's right tricep. He maintains his grip on the right gi sleeve with
his left hand.
|
|
Gustavo places his left foot into Gordo's right hip, and presses
his right leg tight against Gordo's left shoulder. Gustavo pivots his head
and upper body towards his right to get a good angle.
|
|
Gustavo now has room to bring his left leg over Gordo's head
for the arm bar. To get the submission, Gustavo keeps downward pressure with
his legs by brining his heels down towards his hips as he bridges up with
his hips to apply pressure to the elbow.
|
|
A variation on this arm bar starts from a double lapel grip.
|
|
Gustavo pulls Gordo's gi lapel free and feeds it underneath
Gordo's right arm.
|
|
Gustavo continues bringing the gi around the arm to the inside
and passes the gi to his right hand. His left hand now establishes a grip
on Gordo's right gi sleeve.
|
|
Gustavo places his left foot into Gordo's right hip, and presses
his right leg tight against Gordo's left shoulder. Gustavo pivots his head
and upper body towards his right to get a good angle. By maintaining the grip
on the gi that is wrapped around Gordo's arm - it makes it very difficult
for Gordo to free his arm or block the arm bar.

for the arm bar. To get the submission, Gustavo keeps downward pressure with
