Pendulum Arm Bar
This is a great technique that builds off of the reaction that the opponent uses to try to prevent themselves from being swept by a pendulum sweep.

There are a number of processes to get out, with the most fundamental being shown in the video below. The opponent cannot stay on your back if you put your back to the floor.

Baby Bolo Back take from De La Riva
This may be one of the most dynamic techniques we're highlighting today. The Baby Bolo is a variation of the berimbolo that does not require you to invert, therefore it allows you to attack the back from guard just like all of those inverting kids are doing out there. This technique will help you master the use of your hooks to create the proper connection, control and rotation of both your body and the opponent's. Check it out below and get your Baby Bolo on!
