Arm Bar

1. Assume the referee's position; get on your hands and knees, and have your partner place one hand on your elbow and the other on your stomach.

2. As soon as the referee starts the action, throw the arm on the side that your opponent is covering across your body and plant it near your other hand.

3. Rotate your your body upward, supporting yourself on the newly planted hand, and bring the leg on the side your opponent covered underneath your body and out in front of you, so you are sitting.

4. As you complete the sit motion, slip the arm opposite your planted hand between your oppnent's legs and hook it around his inner thigh on the side opposite the side he covered. You should be sitting offset from your opponent with an arm on his thigh for leverage.

5. Scoot along the ground and get behind your opponent, scoring a reversal. Use the arm you have hooked between his legs to pull and assist you as you get around him while preventing him from following.
