Armbar Escape — Spin Escape

The spin escape rotates the defender toward the attacker’s body to neutralize the armbar. By spinning in alignment with the attacker’s control, the defender changes the leverage angle and relieves pressure on the elbow. This escape requires coordination, awareness of grips, and precise timing to prevent injury.

Spinning not only facilitates arm release but also enables smooth transitions into guard recovery, turtle position, or standing scrambles. It’s a dynamic option that shows how rotational movement can disrupt submissions while maintaining positional awareness.
