About this video

Executing an Arm Drag to take the back involves several steps:

  1. Begin by pushing the opponent's head to prevent a crossface and reach underneath their arm.
  2. Use your leg as a pendulum to swing around to the opponent's back, securing their ankle and positioning your arm inside for a crotch lock.
  3. If the opponent attempts to look over their shoulder and sit to escape, follow their movement.
  4. As the opponent turns, post your hand on the mat and roll over your shoulder.
  5. During the roll, aim to get your foot inside their ankle to control their leg and bring it to the floor.
  6. Once in position, apply the Police Lock and transition to finishing with a Rear Naked Choke.
  7. If the opponent starts to turn towards your back and sit, plant your hand and roll, attempting to control their wrist and forearm.
  8. Push the opponent's knee down and pull their forearm towards you to control their body and prevent rotation.
  9. Even with limited flexibility, you can usually insert your foot for the hook, using your leg against their hip to sit them up.
  10. Thread your arm through to secure the Rear Naked Choke and complete the submission.
