Games

(15 minutes)

Partners. Switch Attacker/Defender on the bell. Start in a top side control armbar. Attacker's goal is to maintain the armbar. Attacker is not allowed to finish the submission. Defender is trying to escape to a better position. Getting to mount is a win for the Defender. Getting into a locked triangle is a win for the Attacker. If out of the armbar for 3 seconds, reset, even if in a different submission or mount.
