Let’s take a look at some options from KOB where Prof. Marcio transitions between different attacks depending on the opponent’s reaction.
ㅤ
1 – KOB 180 degrees arm lock – 1 / 3
Prof. Marcio Feitosa enters directly to the knee on the belly position after the Bullfighter Guard pass. When the opponent pushes on Prof. Marcio’s knee to relieve the pressure, it exposes the arm for the attack
ㅤ
2 – KOB to Kimura lock – 2/3
If the opponent defends their arm by gripping their own gi/belt, Prof. Marcio switches his grip to a Kimura grip and changes his attack
ㅤ
3 – KOB nearside straight arm lock – 3/3
The opponent may react by pushing higher on the chest – which exposes their near sidearm for a straight armbar attack. Note how Prof. Marcio balances his weight so he can slide his right leg tight up against the shoulder of his opponent
