DARUMA DOJO - 4 ARMBARS - important submissions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Professor Alberto Juarez

From Daruma Dojo

July 9, 2026

The armbar is one of the most important submissions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

From your very first class to the highest levels of competition, learning the armbar teaches far more than just how to finish a match. It develops control, timing, leverage, and the ability to isolate an opponent's arm from almost any position.

In this lesson, Professor Alberto Juarez demonstrates four essential variations every Jiu-Jitsu practitioner should understand:

• Classic Armbar
• Triangle Armbar
• Crunch Armbar
• Rolling Armbar

Each variation solves a different problem, but they all share the same principles. The more you understand the concept behind the armbar, the more opportunities you'll recognize to apply it during live training.

Master the fundamentals. Expand your options. Build a submission game that works from anywhere.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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