Armbar Escapes | Volume 1: Survival, Hitchhikes, and Stacks

Welcome to Volume 1 of my Escape Series. This one is all about surviving and escaping armbars before your arm gets turned into a noodle.

In this instructional, I cover:

• The priority reactions you need before they even get close to finishing you.
• A detailed look at the classic hitchhike escape (but done properly so it actually works).
• My favourite, the reverse hitchhike. This is the escape I trust even against my other half, who is an absolute armbar menace.
• Plus, how to stack your way to freedom when you’re stuck in an armbar from closed guard.

Save your arms. Annoy your training partners. Watch it. Drill it. Survive longer.
