Arm Bar Sweep

[Ross Davidson]

So I know it's pretty low percentage, and is a pretty bad set up for mma, but I think it's important to have in your back pocket.

I was also able to pull it off last night, and was pretty proud of myself, and would like to do it more, so I thought I'd share.

Basically: got double wrist control, shifted hips to perpendicular or more, used legs like a lever to sweep. Didn't even need to fully break his posture, just kinda got overwhelmed by the leverage in his armpit from my body hooking leg.

Any other pointers/details to account for?

The toss is your friend! One of my go to moves from guard!

You'll need his posture to do it consistently. We call it a flower sweep. One of my highest percentage attacks from the guard.

How do you keep his posture but still leave room for hip rotation?

I'll need to add this to my list of things to work on with you when I'm up there

I've been doing the flower sweep right off of pulling guard

Have you started deep hook arm-barring from guard to spiderweb yet? Thats what got me liking flower sweeping more. You can deep hook in mma because if they punch with the free arm, you can block with your free arm, and they are not protecting their other arm from the arm bar. If they grip catch you can sweep to spiderweb

That's a good point, actually, particularly based on that clip.
