We are talking today about arm bars, how to apply them and how to apply them safely. Now,
we're going to show you the same technique of applying an arm bar to the outside of the
arm but also transitioning back into a shoulder crank. And pretty much like we did before
by using--by going on the inside applying an arm bar going to a shoulder crank, this
time it is from the outside of the body. So he steps and throws a punch, I block it out
of the way. When I block it out of the way, again, I make sure to grab his arm and so
that I can flip it over. Turn a little bit here so you guys can see. I grab on to his
arm here just like I would. I would actually position more like this, and then I just twist
back over for the shoulder crank. I keep my hands exactly the same. All I had to do is
twist. And keep in mind that my elbow can come up, strike him in the face and I can
apply a good technique to his arm. Again, do not apply this too close; apply it away
from the shoulder. And that is how you are going to apply a shoulder crank from an arm
bar going to the outside of the body.
