Could Ronda Rousey Kick Your Azz?

[exlude]

I just got done with open mat, sorry didn't know it was arm chair BJJ and not people who actually trained.

I would dare say that forum jits is armchair jits. Anyway, with the second arm holding the attacked arm, in defense, you are not at a mechanical disadvantage yet. There are several escapes from that position.

Dude ...this might convince someone who doesn't train. But I'm not buying your bs today. Yes there are escapes from every move...there are several escapes from mount...doesn't mean you are not at a mechanical disadvantage. You (being armbarred) have two arms and two hands to defend. I have my same two arms and hands plus my legs to control your head and body and when done properly my core to pull against your hands/arms/grips on top of having gravity on my side to pin you down.

Did you hold any rank? Who were the coaches?

Rick McCoy is the owner/head coach but I never trained with him. Jake Young was the black belt and Ben Allen the brown I trained with.

And the rank you held or experience level?

You are absolutely right, you can't fight that direction. Hip flexors vs. shoulders is significantly different. Anyway, I don't see how any of this is relevant to my personal experience.

No rank. About 150 hours?

[Nate]

The lack of experience or experience? Its all good brother, but escaping proper armbars is not easy.

Anytime you want to come train our mat is open, always happy to train with any dfwstanger.

150 hours you are still a White belt...get back to training and your opinion will change over time. Have a good one.

Any good videos of people getting out of armbars out there?

I'm sure it will, it does everyday.

But that doesn't change my personal experience with one very specific defense. Where do you train? I'm always glad to swing by when in DFW.

Jkd trained with rolls gracie and helio gracie

Not taking sides here, but the way I read Exlude's post is as follows.

It sounds like he is saying if he gets his other arm onto the attacked arm BEFORE the move is completed it can get out of it. Like when you sense the other is setting you up for an armbar and move to defend at the same time they move to attack.

I may be reading it wrong, but that's what I think.

Bjj smackdown!

Alvarez Bjj in Arlington.

Feel free to drop in, I'd like to see the defense.

You can grip your other arm all you like before its extended, that's fine. I'm finishing that armbar still at a high percentage.

This is true.

If you see/figure out someone is going for an armbar you can muscle and maneuver out of it if you are quick enough, unless you are just in a helpless position.

I'm assuming most of his experience getting out of it is with other white belts. I doubt they had the skill to render him completely helpless. It's probable they weren't in a real position to arm bar him in the first place, yet they tried.
