About this video

Executing the Homie Clap Armbar when the opponent extracts their arm:

  1. Start by attempting an Omoplata, but when the opponent bumps forward, grab their tricep and step over.
  2. If the opponent manages to pull their arm out during your setup, immediately catch their wrist to secure the Homie Clap grip, ensuring their thumb points upwards.
  3. Pinch your knees together from the beginning and lean back to apply the armbar.
  4. Because of the tight knee pinch, there's no need to lift your hips or lean back far; the opponent will likely tap quickly due to the proximity.
  5. If the opponent escapes a fully set submission, catch the arm quickly, secure the Homie Clap, squeeze your knees, and finish the armbar.
  6. To deal with squirmy or flexible opponents, place your leg over and under their head, and bring your other leg over their neck on the opposite side.
  7. Maintain the squeeze and as you lean back, the opponent will tap. This position also simulates a choke by locking their head with your ankles and calf, allowing for a tighter armbar.
