Here's the scenario: your opponent is JUST ABOUT to pass your guard - he's already counting the points and smiling to himself. Suddenly - BAM - you hit him with this unexpected sweep and you're the one smiling now.
You'll leave your opponent:
FRUSTRATED...
FLABBERGASTED...
DOWNRIGHT ANNOYED...
And in some cases...
CRYING LIKE A BABY!
For full effect, after you sweep your opponent, don't forget to say:
"No Pass For You!"

Then "The Lazy Man Armbar" is the technique for you!
It's not only sneaky and simple, it's designed for the truly lazy.
I discovered this technique one day when I was too tired to break out of my opponent's guard.

What is The Secret that The Fastest Learners Use When Learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
They stay relaxed.
My definition in this case for relaxed is "the absence of unnecessary muscular tension."
Many guys first come into a BJJ or MMA class pumped full of adrenaline and full of unnecessary muscular tension. This is to be expected because they're coming into a combat sport or "fighting" environment. Also years of weight training have conditioned many students to flex and tense up their bodies.
But all this tension works against them in at least five ways:
1. If your body is tense it can't move easily, so you have trouble mimicking (and learning) new movements. You become frozen stiff.

2. And all of that adrenaline takes you out of your "thinking" mind and into your reptilian brain - you have trouble processing new information.
"What did he just say?"
3. You waste energy and tire yourself out quickly. This means less time for effective practice. Sometimes this can be as common as "over gripping". This is when you grab onto to your opponent with a death grip instead of grabbing just hard enough to maintain your grip.
"Must keep holding on..."
4. You're more likely to injure yourself or your training partner when you're too tense.

5. And it's much easier for your opponent to control you and sweep you when you're tense.
