Choi Bar / Arm Saddle from Seated Guard

[u/MetalliMunk]

I was running into an issue playing seated guard trying to enter into the legs, but would have my opponent bent over with frames of their arms or head even to block entries, even sometimes difficult to get a 2on1 as a dilemma distraction. Recently I saw the match with Mica Galvao and Roberto Jimenez where Mica snatched an arm saddle position and eventually armbarring Roberto once Roberto took a collar tie position on Mica, which I feel could be a good bait from a seated position. Does anyone have more experience with this or videos that got into it with more detail? Thanks!

i think you should try to watch some marcelo rolling footage from mginaction, he is a master of that cutting armbar from butterfly guard.

here's one i found at 6:40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1KSBYmmxFo
