The Three Ingredients In All Armbars #bjj #jiujitsu #bjjtechnique #armbar #grappling

Every successful armbar I hit comes back to the same 3 ingredients:

1) Connecting my hips to the shoulder and covering the head

2) Separating the hands to isolate the arm I'm attacking

3) Putting something behind the elbow and extending the arm

Here are a few competition examples showing those concepts in action. See if you can spot the 3 ingredients in each example!

To improve your armbars, try to focus on solving these core tasks in sparring. The more consistently you can create these conditions, the more reliable your armbars become.
