Armlocks come in wide varieties and can occur from almost every position in Jiu-Jitsu. This makes them a formidable submission that happens at ALL levels of the sport. Defending an Armlock is easier said than done. Ante Dzolic, BJJ Black Belt, is here to show you his systematic approach to defending and defeating Amrlocks of ALL varieties from numerous positions.

Systematic Armlock Defenses is a 3-part series where Ante Dzolic introduces a series of “mini systems” that will teach not only how to defend specific attacks, but small adjustments and concepts that can be applied across the Armlock spectrum. By utilizing these small adjustments you can then start to apply more specific escape sequences to defend attacks like the Americana, Kimura, Straight Armbar, and more.

The ability to go from defense to offense is a critical skill few master because of the sole focus on surviving the submission. Good practitioners chain attacks together into hard to stop submission sequences that are designed to overwhelm you. Systematic Armlock Defenses covers how to defend and counter Armlocks in a way that allows you to manipulate your opponent’s attack in a way that leaves them vulnerable for you to advance your position. Nothing is more deflating to an opponent than failing a submission attempt only to have their back taken!
