🥋In Combatives today!
👉 Class 2 Americana Armlock & Clinch (Aggressive)
🇺🇸 The Americana Armlock is the perfect Mount setup submission because it allows you to go directly from a striking setup to submission. We'll break down the basic application as well as a Neck Hug variation you can deploy against a much larger opponent.

🔥-When you're standing up in a fight you want to be either ALL THE WAY OUT or ALL THE WAY IN. If you're all the way in, you'd best be in some sort of clinch for your own protection. We'll show you how to manage the distance, get inside and control the action so you can smoothly perform a takedown - even when the opponent is actively trying to punch you.
