Technique: Arm-drag Offense

1/10/2011 ~ 1/14/2011
        Anytime you can cross your partner's body over and expose their back to you, you are definitely in the advantageous position. This week at El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we focused on mastering the Arm-drag and seeing how it can be executed from different positions. The Arm-drag is a simple yet effective way of getting your partner to expose their back. 


Standing:
Arm-drag to the body lock (middle/high attack)
Arm-drag to the double leg trip (low/middle attack). Inside leg trips, both hands must post on the mat
Arm-drag to the re-drag. Hips must turn and cut an angle. Finish with the body lock


Butterfly Guard:

Arm-drag to a rollover sweep when they push in. Hand must reach over to far back pocket. 
Arm-drag to take the back (seat belt grip): 
 note: hand thats over the neck attacks the neck, hand thats under the arm attacks the arm
 - rear naked choke while blocking one of their arms (deep arm around neck, hand behind the back)
 - rear naked choke while blocking both of their arms (use the leg to block the other arm)
 - arm bar. hip escape to get the leg over the head. 

Arm-drag to re-drag and get the back (post arm to stop 1st drag, turn hips and pull him through)


Closed Guard:
Arm-drag to take the back (must get far outside leg between their legs):

 note: hand thats over the neck attacks the neck, hand thats under the arm attacks the arm
 - rear naked choke while blocking one of their arms (deep arm around neck, hand behind the back)
 - rear naked choke while blocking both of their arms (use the leg to block the other arm)
 - arm bar. hip escape to get the leg over the head. 

Arm-drag to the arm bar. Trap their arm in your armpit.
