[Cntr-5.4] Basic Arm-bar Tie-off Counter (Foot Against Arm)
The arm-bar is one of the most common locks on the tatami. The tie-off is the simplest response to stop the arm from being placed in the lock. This is but one way to counter the tie-off. We use the foot in this example as a wedge.
Warning: When uke releases his/her grip, it can happen quickly, so be prepared to control the technique to prevent injury to the opponent.
Warning: This technique should only be practiced with a qualified AOKK instructor present.
Execution:
- (Uke) Ties off to prevent the arm-bar.
- (Uke) Opponent is on the ground and tries to turn his/her shoulders to the attacker.
- (Tori) Wrap your arm around his/her arm
- (Tori) Pull upwards until the opponent’s arm is under your armpit.
- (Tori) Tie-off to your other arm, so there is additional leverage on the opponent’s elbow joint.
- (Tori) Throw your legs over the opponent and place him/her in a standard arm-bar.
Note: This prevents him/her from rotating their shoulders.
- (Tori) Arch your back to increase pressure. Push outward with your forearm.
- (Tori) Use your legs to control the opponent’s movement.
- (Tori) Put one foot on the arm uke is using to tie-off. Push with your leg and pull backwards with your torso.
