A Sneaky BJJ Armbar that Everyone Should Know

A Sneaky BJJ Armbar that Everyone Should Know

From Chewjitsu

May 26, 2026

In today's video, I'll walk you through one of my favorite submissions in BJJ. It's a sneaky armbar that I call The Shot Gun Armbar because of the grip used.

It works so well because most people in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ignore the near side arm when they are in side control. I also show you how to disguise your grips. All of this helps you hit the submission before the person ever knows what hits them. Hopefully this video will give you some insights on how to get more submissions from side control and a new sneaky armbar to add into your BJJ game.

Thanks for watching.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
