Jamarillo Special Details: Giftwrap Transition

when i isolate his arm, my hand ends up just outside his arm pit.

it does not matter if i step over first or do the kimura grip.

if he puts his arm behind my head, keep rotating until his arm falls off; then lock the giftwrap. if i have his right arm isolated with my right arm: after the giftwrap, i bring my left leg along side his back and step over with my right foot; then i pull him back as i move to my back; then secure the second (left) hook.(right hook is secured as i fall back).

arm bar from north south (Jamarillo Special)

one of professor gino's favorites. in the variation he teaches, he first threatens a kimura and uses the kimura grip until the arm bar is almost complete. i could not find a closer video on the web that shows this technique than this one. important points are to get off my knees and drive with my legs (unlike what is shown in the video) to torque my body as i bring my uke up to his side. important to use my other hand to block his hip.

secure a kimura grip and then place the foot past his chin so that he cannot use his arm to push the foot away. threaten the kimura and then fall back for the arm bar.
