This one’s for you who finds themselves with few options for finishing from the guard. In this exclusive lesson by Romulo Barral for Graciemag, the five-time world champion teacher shows two armbars starting from the De la Riva.
In the first one, Romulo advances the DLR hook and sweeps to attack the arm. In the second one, with his opponent avoiding the sweep, Romulo uses his opponent’s momentum to suspend and attack with a nice-looking armbar.
