This Unorthodox BJJ Armlock Shouldn’t Work (But it Does)

From Chewjitsu

July 6, 2026

Today I'm going to have my BJJ black belt buddy Zach show an unorthodox arm lock series for Jiu-Jitsu.

It honestly shouldn't work when you look at the basic fundamentals of BJJ. But dammnit if he didn't catch me with this armlock the 1st time we rolled. And then afterwards I was always wary of my arms even when I was in a strong position like back mount.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
