Flip to Armbar Escape is for when your opponent ends up with one shin across your ribs and the other leg over your head. We had a couple of different submission setups that ended this way and we're going to work on the escaping here.
So we're going to get in our opponent's armbar position with his shin underneath our ribs and this other leg over our head and we're here.
First thing we have to do is we really have to rotate our hips away from our opponent. We're going to do a back somersault over our opponent's head. We're going to use the momentum. When he tries to do -- when he tries to rip this arm up, we're going to use that and get him to help us, lift us over and we're going to go into an armbar of our own.
So we're here, our opponent rips our arm back. We go up and land an armbar of our own. It's hard to see, but we're going to show this from multiple angles.
We're here, we cheat our hips away, as soon as rips his arm back, we come up into on an armbar. So we've ended up here. Our opponent has this shin across, this leg over our head, step one, walk my hips away. I got to do that because, I got to do a back somersault, it's really hard to get up and over this leg if I am real close to it. So I got to get away from it.
Now, as our opponent pulls his arm out, we back somersault. Notice how we've landed. I just land it with my shin across. This leg is in proper position. This arm is in proper position. I just sit straight back into my own armbar. You can make this a drill when you work with your opponent and I go for that armbar escape as soon as I landed and he goes for the armbar escape and if you do it correctly, you should be able to move almost in a perfect square.
Here, first thing I do, walk my hips away. Second, when he leans back and tries to rip his arm up, I do my back somersault up onto his head, landing in this position. When I do this, I am in perfect position to lay out into my own armbar.
That's your armbar escape when your opponent has a shin across your ribs and one leg over your head.
