Arm Bar
Why is the looping arm bar no longer attempted?
Why do MMA practitioners forsake the "looping arm bar" from top mount? Your hand laying flat aginst the opponent's shoulder can be substituded for his Gi afterall. So why has the looping arm bar been completely ignored all this time?
I agree some what, but still not even one good attempt? I never could understand not at least trying while in the cage ... good answer though man.
The reason you don't see many top mount arm-bars is its not as favorable as other submissions. When you do an arm-bar from mount without a gi alot of times you loose the whole position and end up in your guard. Most people would rather use things like arm triangles or americana's because you maintain the top mount position even if you don't get the submission.
