Arm Drag Stand Up

Position Details

The arm drag standup combines the arm drag with a technical standup. After dragging their arm, you stand and can attack their back or complete a takedown.

Key Principles

  • From seated guard, execute a sharp arm drag
  • Immediately begin your technical standup
  • Use the arm drag to clear a path to standing
  • Finish by taking the back or completing a takedown

Concepts

  • Sharp Drag: The arm drag must be quick to create the opening
  • Seamless Transition: Don't pause between the drag and standup
  • Angle Creation: The drag creates an angle that makes standing safer
  • Multiple Outcomes: Can lead to back take, single leg, or dominant position
