About this video

From the arm sling position, a different back take can be executed based on the opponent's reaction. This technique is particularly useful when the opponent is not giving up their position easily.

  1. Start from the arm sling position. If the opponent is keeping their elbows tight, move to the half back.
  2. Force the opponent into an arm trap position by grabbing, popping up, stepping, and picking them up.
  3. Put the opponent down on their elbow. Be careful not to injure the opponent's arm in this process.
  4. Once the opponent is on their elbow, circle around, shoot, and trap the opponent's arm in your legs.
  5. From this half back position, you can transition to a full back position. If your legs are long enough, you can secure a body triangle.
  6. Open the arm sling, grab, pop the opponent up, and drop them down so they have to base.
  7. Snake your leg over the opponent's arm. From here, you can take the full back position or, if you're long, secure a body triangle.
  8. With the opponent's arm trapped, the technique is essentially complete.
