Mount Position Setup

The instructor begins from a dominant mount position and initiates an attack on the opponent's collar. The opponent responds by trapping the attacker's arm to prevent the choke and begins to set up a sweep attempt.

Stacking Defense Against Sweep

When the opponent attempts to sweep, the top player must immediately stack by placing one heel directly under the opponent's armpit. This positioning creates a stable base that prevents the sweep from succeeding.

Transition to Bow and Arrow Setup

After defending the sweep attempt, the top player slides the second heel under the opponent's head while freeing the hand from the collar trap. The attacker then secures control of the collar with a knife-hand grip positioned at the neck.

Executing the Bow and Arrow Choke

With both heels properly positioned under the armpits and head, the top player applies finishing pressure using the collar grip. This creates the signature bow and arrow choke submission from the mount position.

Key Defensive Details

The instructor emphasizes maintaining foot placement under the armpit rather than opening the feet, which prevents the opponent from establishing guard control. Keeping the opponent's back elevated off the floor ensures continued pressure during the submission attempt.

Armbar Variation When Opponent Hides Elbow

If the opponent successfully conceals their elbow during the initial attack, the top player can transition to an armbar variation. The attacker grabs the pants near the knee and begins to shift their body position to set up the armbar.

Finishing the Armbar from Side Control

The top player sits to the side, steps over the opponent's shoulder, and crosses their feet to secure the armbar position. From here, pulling pressure on the arm creates the finishing force for the submission.

Alternative Armbar Finish

As a secondary option, the attacker can hug the opponent's leg, secure the shin, and sit back while maintaining arm control. This positioning allows for both armbar and bow and arrow choke finish options depending on the opponent's defensive reaction.
