What’s Inside

When it comes to closed guard attacks, Dirty Dozen Black Belt Christ Haueter reminds us, “More hips and less grips.” That’s especially true of the spinning armlock!

In this class, I share several skill development drills using the hips and legs to take your spinning armlock (juji-gatame) to the next level.

After drilling, I show how to catch the armlock when a person tries to stand up in your closed guard.
