There are several variations of the "Arm Bar", often even those who teach it call them by other descriptions. Wrestlers are unable to pass the guard because of the years they trained to keep an opponent on their back, very hard to teach an old dog a new trick... but not totally impossible. Kevin Jackson, an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling, was easily defeated by Frank Shamrock in just 14 seconds by using an "armlock" http://www.ufc.tv/history/history.asp?articleID=79 Frank has not done any amateur wrestling, but is the brother of Ken Shamrock, they train as "submission wrestlers". The take down is the easy part for a wrestler with an amateur wrestling back ground, doing anything after that they seem to be lost. Wrestling is a very good way to stay in shape, within minutes the out of shape are out of gas. At 05:08 PM 9/30/01 -0400, Trey wrote: >It is an "arm bar" , btw.
