Brian demonstrates a great takedown on Mario from a secured arm lock. This is a great one is they are not used to arm locks because of the unique setup.

Step 1

Brian secures on of Mario's wrists.

Step 2

Here is a close up view of the grip used.

Step 3

Brian pulls Mario's arm across his body. It is important here to maintain the same grip used.

Step 4

Brian now (while continuing to pull the arm) securely locks Mario's arm under his armpit. He is also hugging Mario's arm close to his abdomen.

Step 5

Brian drives his right elbow high and deep up underneath Mario's armpit.

Step 6

Here is a different angle so that you can see the location and positioning of Brian's elbow.

Step 7

Brian leans back using the leverage on Mario's arm to help left him up.

Step 8

Turning Mario over his right shoulder, Brian starts the end of the takedown. (Still maintaining that same original grip)

Step 9

Brian finished the takedown and from here you can go to take side control or whatever position you feel comfortable.

Your grip HAS to be strong in the first few steps. It is remarkably easy to break out holding the arm like that. Just move your arm towards the thumbs and the arm will break free from the grip.

Its pretty solid though. Once you lock the arm with your own arm and not your hands, you will be in good shape (at step 4).

Three things I'd like to add to his technique. First, between steps 4-5, you'll see a step in with the left leg to help get your base under you. Second, it's tough to hit this if you're not fast so the easier thing to do is (once you've secured step 6) swing him over the right side of your body, tripping him over your right knee (you'll have to extend it out a little). Third, I've found that this works best against grapplers that like collar-ties. Reach your hand cross body, pull off his collar-tie, then grab your baseball-bat grip and go. Hope this helps.

Great to see one of the first techniques I learned in Sambo!
My trainer called it "quarter suplex" halvkryss in swedish.
Great technique, very unpleasant feeling when it's done on you

This is great when a guy turns into you when you get a high russian.

my riend got me into the Thai clinch, and after i escaped to a normal ole clinch, i used an arm drag to throw him... next time, i'll try this!!! Does it work on 220 lb, 6 foot 4 inch opponents? gulp...

Good move, but I can definitely tell with wrist-control experience in wrestling that this will be a hard technique to get past the first four steps...

You're not drunk if you can lie on the ground without holding on.

its a arm spin changed to a lift for no reason i can see lol unless you are fresh and wanna slam him just shoulder in like firemans nad throw him with the weight drop

nice, expecting a trip after #6, but a throw instead...very good.

Neo

Does it still work if the guy is much taller?

I love this throw..its' one of the most dangerous throws because its damn near impossible to slap the mat upon being thrown and you actually land on your head or neck & head. This is one of the throws that I don't teach my students until I know about their maturity level, athletic ability etc can handle it (along with basic suplex)

nice throw but looks like your using a lot of strength to get the guy over and down to the mat, why not go for a wrist twist after step 4 and make it easy as well as conserving some energy and strength. but still a good throw.

bshaw

To be honest, my father taught me this for gun defense. Control the wrist with the piece and after dropping him on his head you have a better chance at getting a hold of the weapon.
