Lesson 9: Straight Armlock (Mount)

Overview

The goal in the fight is to achieve the mount because from there we can exhaust and eventually submit our opponent with ease. When you mount an opponent, it is very common for him to reach for your chest or throat during their escape attempt creating the perfect opportunity for the Straight Armlock. The Straight Armlock is a great submission option since it can be applied from so many positions, and since it employs so much leverage it can be used to incapacitate even the largest opponent. In this lesson, you will learn how to apply it from the mount position. We will start from the final control position.
