TECHNIQUES:

1- ARMBAR FROM CLOSED GUARD: The armbar from closed guard is a great submission to attack when your opponent lifts one of his legs in base. Reach under his leg to bring yourself close to him, and then swing your hips out and throw them up to finish the armbar. Your top leg remains heavy on his head to keep him from stacking you.
2- TRIANGLE FROM CLOSED GUARD: The triangle can seem daunting to new practitioners but don’t worry, it’s easy with some quick tips. In this example, your opponent will reach inside your guard to open it, and in doing so gives you an easy path to the triangle choke. Be sure to get your right leg flat across the back of his neck to create the best angle.
