1. Reach the guard position and maintain it.
2. Choose one opponent’s arm to attack, then grip the wrist, so your opponent can’t detect movement (this is crucial if you want to process the submission properly). You can also use the action-reaction principle to shift your opponent’s concentration elsewhere.
3. Use your legs to interrupt your opponent’s posture. Meanwhile, isolate the arm.
4. Use one of your free hands to control the isolated opponent’s arm (you can grip the arm triceps). And, on the other hand, to control the opponent’s head.
5. Open the guard. Then, use your legs to shift your hips by creating a 90-degree angle within your opponent.
6. Move one of your legs one to regulate the opponent’s head and therefore the other among his chest to control the upper body.
7. Confirm that the elbow of the attacked arm is on your hips. Then, make it so tight by squeezing your legs.
8. Finish the nogi armbar from guard by moving your hips up and wrist down to hyperextend the elbow.
