Open Guard Bicep Lock from Guard Pass

Heres a sneaky little move that you can set up when your opponent is trying to pass your open guard.

Its more of a gi technique but I use it regularly in no gi sparring so I thought i'd put it up here and see if anyone else can use it.

• 1 - Open Guard

Start off in the open guard with double wrist control
• 2 - Loop Leg Over

keeping control of the wrists, loop your leg over their arm...
• 3 - Hook In

...and hook it into the crook of their elbow NOTE: some people will grab your leg now as if setting up an Achilles lock, dont worry, just keep hold of the wrist, them holding on will actually make it easier to apply!
• 4 - Invite Pass

Place your shin onto the opposite hip and invite the guard pass. The more they pass and drop their weight, the stronger the submission will be.
• 5 - Leg Triangle

As they start to pass, triangle your legs and keep a tight control on their trapped wrist, you can now let go with your other hand and...
• 6 - Underhook

underhook their trapped arm and grab the back of their triceps. Again, you are keeping control of the trapped wrist.
• 7 - Grab Triceps

Once you have the triangle and underhook you can let go of the wrist and grab the triceps with both hands for a nice strong grip.
• 8 - Hips Up Finish

Now to finish, press your hips up and pull down with both hands for a nice bicep lock.
