From the Mount Position, shift leg up under opponent's left shoulder, spread the knees and tuck the heels under the opponents thighs.

This keeps the mount stable.

As opponent reaches up, place right hand onto chest to secure and secure the arm against the body, shift left leg further up under shoulder.

This prevents the opponent from withdrawing the arm.

Change hands, and place the left hand onto the face and press down hard, shift left knee around behind the head, and ensure a strong grip on the wrist.

This pins the opponent to the floor while the technique is being applied.

Use the hand on the face as a pivot point, bring the left knee around over the top of the head.

This ensures that the opponent cannot counter by pushing the leg off as it comes into position.

Bring the left leg over the head, sit back, and ensure that the grip on the wrist remains firm.

Clamp the knees together as sitting back, pull the hand into the chest with a two handed grip.

This ensures that the opponent cannot twist or pull out the arm.

Lay back with the arm in position with the elbow firmly braced against the hip, and secured with a strong grip.

Complete the Arm Bar by pulling the wrist into the chest and extending (pushing hips upward and shoulders downward).
