3-Part Fundamental Lesson -- Paul masterfully demonstrates multiple options for the Armbar from S-Mount: Apply a Cross-Collar Grip against your opponent's lapel from the top of the Full-Mount Position; use your free-hand to help open up the space and allow your forearm to sink deeply into the jacket around their neck. Remember to shift your weight so as to not give your opponent an easy bridge out of your attack. If your opponent brings their elbow across center-line, quickly occupy the space behind their triceps with your hips by transitioning up into S-Mount. However, if your opponent is keeping their elbow tight by their torso, make a grip behind their arm and lift them onto their side. Place your elbow down beside their head on the opposite side and flatten them back down while bringing your knees high up for the S-Mount. Lean onto their stomach with your leg flexed and throw your leg over their face as you collect their elbow for the Armbar. Keep control of the direction in which their thumb points by grabbing onto their wrist and rotating their arm until the force of your rising hips aligns with hyperextension of their elbow joint. [5:21] If you cannot readily situate your hips around your opponent's shoulder during the transition towards S-Mount, grab onto their elbow and incrementally wedge yourself into position. If your opponent connects their arms together in defense of the Arm-Lock, grab onto your own hand and thread your opposite elbow through their figure-four grip so that you can now dedicate your arm to monitoring your opponent's legs. Lie back while cradling your opponent's near-side knee as you deliver pressure against their arm for the extension. [10:44] If your opponent is still defending their arm after you've anchored your hand onto your own hip and settled back for the Spider-Web style finish for the Armbar, you can momentarily release their near-side leg and fire a palm-strike against their elbow to loosen their hold.
