Arm Bar Escapes & Continuations
with Dr Richard Catterick.
The arm bar is one of the most common submissions in Jiu-Jitsu and combat sports and also one of the most misunderstood once things start to go wrong.
In this seminar, Dr Richard Catterick will break down high-percentage arm bar counters and, more importantly, how to continue attacking when the first finish fails.
This session is about problem-solving, not just technique.
What you’ll learn:
> Proven arm bar defensive reactions (before, during, and late-stage)
> How to maintain control when your opponent starts escaping
> Continuation chains into other submissions and how to get the arm bar when your opponent defends
> Common mistakes that cause people to lose the arm bar
How to apply these concepts from:
>Guard
>Mount
Who this seminar is for:
> White belts / Junior grades wanting reliable fundamentals
> Seniors looking to deepen there understanding
Instructors wanting better teaching frameworks for arm bar systems
Why attend?
