2-Part Advanced Lesson -- Bernardo reveals escapes for an Armbar and a Kimura: If your opponent captures your arm inside of a traditional straight arm-lock attack (i.e. Cross-Lock, Ude-hishigi-juji-gatame, Arm-Scissors, et al.), immediately connect your hands together to temporarily stifle your opponent from placing your elbow under hyperextension. Using your far-elbow, while still keeping your hands clasped together, push your opponent's far-leg down towards your knees and catch their foot with your legs. Next, slip your elbow free into the space you've created and build up your base back onto your knees while continuing to keep their leg secure. The motions involved in the execution of this particular escape are akin to regaining a Deep-Half Guard and coming up from the sweep directly into a pass. [2:27] If your opponent captures your arm inside of a bent arm-lock attack (i.e. Key-Lock, Kimura, Double-Wristlock, Gyaku-ude-garami, et al.), immediately bridge your hips up off the mat and place your weight downward onto your far-shoulder; this should make it much harder for your opponent to readily lift you onto your side and step over your head for a finish. Once you've stalled them, quickly bump again, but this time bringing your near-arm underneath their belly to the far-side. Continue moving in the direction of your bridge and force your opponent to let go of the hold and get reversed into fighting from the bottom of the North/South-Position.
