The elbow lever is an effective pain control

The use of painful techniques in many types of combat sports allows you to quickly take the enemy out of action. Painful receptions are allowed on the hands and feet. The lever of the elbow refers specifically to such techniques.

The concept of

The elbow lever - Armbar - is a part of the pain receptions on the hands - Armlock. Its principle of action is to force the enemy's elbow until it bends to the unnatural side when using any support.

In practice, it looks like this. The attacking fighter is on the side of the opponent lying on his back. Further, the attacker must throw over his neck and chest resisting his feet, holding them by the opponent's hand. Now it is necessary to straighten the arm of the fighter lying in the vicinity of the elbow and slowly bend it until the opponent gives a sign that he is giving up. Usually this is a few strokes with a free hand on the floor surface.

Types of painful elbow leverage

There are several types of this technique:

1. Grabbing the arm under the shoulder. The attacker fixes the opponent's shoulder so that his forearm is under the elbow of the clasped hand. Then he presses the opponent to the floor and conducts a painful reception to extend the elbow. This method can be used both from the side and lying down.
2. Admission through the thigh begins with a lateral retention. Then the attacker at the opponent's hand holds the thigh, first holding his forearm. Next, you need to bend your arm over your hip and pull it out.
3. Reception through the forearm after retention across. The striker fixes the forearm of the opponent's rival's hand. Then it is spent painful - it is necessary to raise an elbow with the forearm. Reception is performed on both hands alternately.
4. The grip of the hand between the legs. In the standing position, the attacker grabs the nearest hand of the lying opponent and pulls it to himself until the hips are fixed. Then you have to sit down and throw your leg through the opponent's neck. The same is done with the second leg. Then they must be crossed and fix the hand with the hips until the end of the elbow in the stomach of the attacker. Conduct a painful.
5. Reception using the feet from the top. The opponent stands in a semi-bent position, his hands are divorced. The attacker grasps the gate from under the near shoulder, being behind. In this case, the far leg is at the opposite knee of the opponent. Next, you have to lie down on the floor and move your leg so that the hip is on top of the shoulder, and the shin is under the opponent's neck. The shoulder is fixed with the hips, painful. The body must be bent to the maximum.

Errors of technical performance

When taking the elbow lever through the forearm, the main errors are:

• Unstable shoulder fixation;
• The opponent's hand is not fixed to the end.

When receiving using the hip, the errors are as follows:

• When the opponent's hand is turned out, the weight of the trunk is not fully applied;
• An unwieldy clasp of the opponent's hand when the body tilts to the thigh.

Errors in forearm capture after retention:

• Loose fixation of one's body to the opponent's body;
• Wrong forearm capture.

When using the legs for capture, the following are considered to be erroneous:

• Minimum fixation of the opponent's hips by the hips ;
• The attacker does not stretch the opponent's hand in full force, because it is far from him.

When you receive a foot on top of the errors are:

• The fixation of the arm by the foot is not fully utilized;
• Loose shoulder fixation.
