Flower Sweep To Armbar From Full Guard

So I showed this armbar to my students one day and they loved the move. At first glance the technique might look a little fancy since you’re spinning around the arm. But I assure you, as I did my students, I’m a caveman. My jiujitsu is simple and if I can do it, you can do it. The key to making the move work is knocking the opponent off balance with the flower sweep. This will give you the initiative and allow you the space you need to gain the under hook and move into position for the spiral motion.

Sorry about the mic hanging at the top right of the video. Cameras have since been changed.
