The armbar is a very iconic joint lock submission in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This video will go over how to do the armbar attack from the guard position. We typically teach two main guard armbars from the guard position - the controlled (fundamental) armbar and the fast armbar as covered in this video.

New martial arts students are thrown into a world where they do not know the language yet. So much information is taught to a beginner in such a fast manner that it is incredibly common to mix up the details of common techniques. We hope these Jiu Jitsu mechanics video will be helpful as you attempt to learn and remember these techniques that we love!
