Alternating Armbar Spin Drill

Top partner controls the bottom partner's wrists and performs rapid 180-degree spinning pivots over the partner's chest from side to side to build rotational momentum, alignment, and hip dexterity for juji-gatame armbars.

Key points

  • Maintain control of both wrists/forearms of the training partner
  • Pivot on the balls of the feet and hips across the partner's chest
  • Lock, release, and spin to achieve the perpendicular angle before reversing

Common mistakes

Landing heavy body weight directly on the partner's ribs or losing wrist grip during the spin.
