Interactive 3D Preview — drag to orbit
A hyperextension attack on the elbow joint using hip pressure.
The armbar (juji gatame) isolates one of your opponent's arms and extends it against your hips while controlling their body with your legs. You squeeze your knees together, keep their thumb pointing up, and bridge your hips into their elbow to apply the break. It can be attacked from guard, mount, side control, and back mount, making it one of the most versatile submissions in grappling.
