1. think less up-and-down and side-to-side, think more turning, changing angles
2. when the uke's grip is especially strong to one side, consider moving (turning into) that side instead of going to the far side.
3. circle his grip to break it instead of just pulling back
4. if my head is being pushed down, consider bringing my legs back under me to regain my posture and help break uke's grips. then go back to bringing my legs away from uke.
5. think of passing the guard in two parts: first part keep my weight on me, not on uke. when uke is under control, and i'm ready to pass, then shift my weight to on him.
6. Finishing the arm bar: for an uke with long arms, pass his elbow past my elbow but keep squeezing with my arm. now my hands can reach his wrist. bring my head to his wrist and straigthen my body. as i fall back, uke's arm will eventually move back into the proper position for the arm bar.
