Executing a secondary armlock when an opponent attempts to pull out of an armbar:

  1. Start by attacking the armbar with the forward motion, elbows out, knees forward, and a clinched position.
  2. Turn and bridge while grabbing the pant legs and bringing your head forward to finish the armbar.
  3. If the opponent pulls their arm out to escape, immediately pull your own arm out and start turning your hip away from them.
  4. As you turn, drop your knee to the mat and bring your shin down to the side of their head.
  5. Bring your free leg over their head to trap their arm and secure the secondary armlock position.
  6. Pinch your knees together tightly to prevent the opponent from pulling their arm out again.
  7. Finally, apply pressure to the wrist and drive your hips forward to finish the armlock.

Maintaining tight control and quick transitions are crucial to successfully securing the secondary armlock.
