Instant Armbars from Side Control to Finish the Match
From Grapplearts (Stephan Kesting)
Two armbar submissions that come on QUICK from side control.
Dan Inosanto taught me to steal from anywhere but always give credit. Accordingly, I learned the first armbar by watching the guys at Rob Biernacki's Island Top Team, and the second armbar came from the GOAT Marcelo Garcia when he was in NYC.
