Help--Breaking a BEAST'S grip for arm bar

[brent steele]

hey all been a lurker here for some time and nead some help from the 10planet familey and would appreciate some advice from anyone who can help.
we recently got a new member at our gym who is INSANELY strong,i'm talking popeye OD on spinich,anytime someone gets the dude to spider web he s-grips and no one is able to break it,it's become the the goal of all of us now!
so besides from jetting in rhonda any tips how to succeed in this near impossible quest!?

just an idea but is there a variation on X-break where instead of going two handed you use other hand to hit the silverado,a sort of silver x?! or the same with douchebag for silver douche?

thanks all and any who have any words of advise

Check out latest MTS and watch Sam get arm crushed over and over. I felt for you Sam Couple of times it looks like you couldn't get it out for a second or 2 and I was wincing.

If Popeye boy holds on good luck to him.

if hes in spider web then you have options, make sure you have a deep lefthook (if you're on there right side) arm crush is a killer, but you have douchebag too.

My instructor went over a grip break, though im not sure if it works with s-grip. Gable grip the opposite elbow and rake it up their arm, all the way to the wrist of the arm you're attacking. Rhonda used it in her last fight to finish.

If its an s grip, you've got wrist locks available

thanks for the input guys!
if i switch to wrist locks won't i then have to release the leg and risk the stack?

[David Ogg]

Douchebag truly lives up to its name lol. I don't like doing it cos I feel like a dick for it but it works

Oooh, never thought of that. Nice input.

What I do if a guy is too strong to use x break, I'll pull my legs out a but and reposition my heels on the inside of his far elbow, lean back and stretch my legs and rip the grip apart.

Otherwise, arm crush is great. And if he's a new guy, meaning he's brand new to jiu jitsu, just sucker him into the triangle.

Like everyone else is suggesting Arm Crush and make him give up the armbar. Theres also various grip breaks that work really well. Personally Im like X Break if its not working I transition to the Triangle, dont let him roll up, lock in the triangle and pressure back to mounted triangle.

douchebag him, you can be a real douchebag and dig your heel just beneath the ear were the jaw conects.
