Plus, armbars are harder to land no-gi. Sweat and such.

I don't like the traditional BJJ armbars where you have to jump and sit next to the guy (giving up the mount is not a small thing for me) so I always try to improvise. When I go for an armbar I usually work my way up the guy's body until I'm high up on his chest. I then fake a DWL or a keylock and push his arm into his face. From there I shift the knee on the same side so that it's at his elbow and then lever up with my body against the knee. They usually tap from this and should they try to roll around I won't lose mount.

The traditional setup works good for gi, but I find that it's not nearly as efficient in no-gi. I do a similar set up to what it sounds like you do.

I like to try for the keylock, prompting them to roll onto their side and bring the other arm across their body to defend. From there I transition to the Who's Yo Daddy position and put one of my feet on the inside of their elbow just in case I can't get the armbar. That way I have an easy and quick transition to the bicep slicer or the triangle.

It's not very effective in gi because it gives them the chance to grab their sleeve, but it's great for no-gi. Also makes a lot of people roll away from you, giving you their back.

I really don't like grappling with a gi (the pants are ok but I don't like the jacket)...

If I miss the armbar I usually counter with a keylock or DWL (since one foot in on the ground you just have to jump way over him ) or go for an arm-triangle (since the arm is already in his face I smother him with it while I go for the figure-four)! The choke works great on big guys!

anaconda choke/gator roll

[Ubermensch]

It use to be the Side Choke, Arm Triangle and RNC...but now it is the Mexican Headlock!!!

[strife]

I always get people in Triangles or Omoplatas frequently. Guess those are my favorites by default.

thinkin about making a thread about this, there is nothing more satisfying then sinking in a very deep rnc with the body triange on tight. it is impossible for ur opponent to escape unless u injure urself or something stupid. every submission is sweet. other favs are the kamura, the twister, keylock, and a good ol knee bar.

[Frasedog]

kimura from the bottom. kneebar. and there is a nice scisors choke from north/south with your legs.

Can anyone tell what the name of the sub. bisbing did to josh haynes on the TUF finale.

[Omoplata]

Kimura, Americana, Ankle Lock and Omoplata.

"Omoplata Joe, Omoplata. Push his head down!!!", BJ Penn (That line is the reason I picked my SN... UNLOAD!!!)
