Make sure to stick around until the end for a bonus breakdown of the Master Gordo armbar from back control! What You'll Learn in This Video: Single-Leg X Entry & Sweep: How to properly elevate the hips, secure your hooks (outside leg on the hip bone, inside leg on the butt cheek), and off-balance your opponent for an effortless sweep. The Standard Straight Ankle Lock: Proper grip mechanics, placing the bony part of the wrist directly on the tendon, and finishing by driving the thumb to the chin and puffing out the chest. The "JJM" (Master John Jocks) Detail: Using the elbow as a retention tool, crunching the abs to feed the hand deeper, and applying finishing pressure by pushing with the legs while pulling the wrist. The Professor Bill Technique: Taking your outside leg over the opponent’s leg and squeezing for maximum, inescapable pressure. Bonus - Master Gordo Armbar: Starting from back control with a "double handcuffs" grip, we cover how to transition, trap the arm, and finish diagonally to completely shut down the hitchhiker escape.
