| Chapter: | Defense against Mount |
| Move: | Defenses against the Straight Arm Bar |
 PASSING THE LEG--- He
is starting a Swing Around Arm Bar. |
 Get your near elbow
tight to your side and your far hand up. |
 Pop his leg over your
head, as you pull your near elbow even tighter to your ribs.
|
 Scoot your hips out
getting your right knee onto the ground. |
 Switch your base, so
you are facing into him. |
 Get up onto your knees.
Control his arms at the biceps and initiate a pass.
|
 ROLL--- This defense is
against an Arm Bar variation common in Judo, where only one leg is across
your body. It must be done as he is applying the hold.
|
 Use the momentum of his
falling back to swing you up... (be sure to roll over your near shoulder,
not your head.) |
 ...and across.
|
 Block his knee, to
prevent him from getting you in Guard. |
 Establish Side control.
|
 SPIN--- In this
variation he has fallen forward. Post with your free hand, to provide a
solid base from which to... |
 ...spin around towards
his head... |
 ...until...
|
 ...you are by his other
side. From there you can remove your arm and establish Side Control, or...
|
 ...continue circling
into Back Mount. ENJOY! |
