Armbar

Transitioning from an over-the-head throw into an armbar requires maintaining a connection with the opponent to control their movement. After landing in mount from the throw, it's crucial to keep a low mount, with the chest controlling the opponent's neck to prevent them from moving their head and consequently their body.

1. Immediately control the opponent's neck with your chest upon landing in mount.
2. Target the opponent's arm without breaking chest-to-chest contact. Use your body combined with gravity and motion to overpower their arm.
3. Drive forward, keeping control of the neck, and bring your knees under the opponent's armpits.
4. Transition to side control, bringing the opponent's arm across their face with your body, not by grabbing it.
5. Keep the connection between your body and the opponent's arm to prevent them from defending.
6. Use your knee to control the opponent's neck, which helps bring them onto their side, and post your other leg against their back to prevent them from rolling back.
7. Secure the arm by locking in your grip, with your wrist in their elbow and your other hand above their wrist, eliminating space for movement.
8. Control the opponent's neck with your thigh, keeping your shin against their back to restrict their movement.
9. Instead of stepping over for the armbar, pivot while maintaining the connection between your leg and the opponent's face.
10. Pinch your thighs down on the opponent's arm, switch your grip for control, and sit back for the armbar, ensuring the opponent taps before you fully extend on the mat.
11. Keep the opponent's thumb pointed outwards for proper armbar alignment and squeeze your knees for a tight finish.

This method emphasizes constant control and minimizing space between you and your opponent to effectively secure the armbar submission.
