really fun ideas to watch
great set ups and details
Key details were explained and shown perfectly. Can’t wait to start drilling these asap!
Great high percentages finishes that actually work with realistic set ups of how to get there.
My friend and I have been working through this together and it has been amazing. The funny part is, when he hits one of these on me. All we can do is laugh and of course tap.
Awesome info to have a great arm submission game.
Awesome instructions.. Clear and straight to the point.. I would recommend this video to all those who want to be really good at arm bars…
It was great easy to follow, and great explanations
I enjoyed the content. There were several armbar setups that I've never seen. Some are pretty useful. I'm not an armbar guy most of the time, but I've started trying to work some of these into my game. Overall, it was definitely worth it for me.
One of the best.
Just excellent instruction.
Awesome stuff, Shawn breaks techniques and concepts down very well! Great stuff brother, really enjoyed it!

Excellent details on arm bars
It's a great instructional and covers the small details in a very simple and easy to follow way. Highly recommend for anyone that struggles with arm bars or anyone that just wants to level up their game.
I used to hate arm bars but this instructional has changed my ways!
Super easy to follow
This video help me a lot with my arm bars
Extremely good content!
Great instructional with some very interesting and creative entries into arm bars. Really enjoyed picking a few to focus on. I've already started to hit 1 or 2 of the moves regularly in training. In particular the turning arm bar off the rau drag from 3/4 guard. People just don't see it coming.
Great armbar instructional, I enjoyed the many sections on the straight armbar and it's many options.
“Arm Bar It All” delivers a focused breakdown of armbar entries, transitions, and finishing mechanics, with an emphasis on details that make the position genuinely tight rather than just technically correct. Shawn Melanson’s teaching style is clear and systematic, which makes the instructional easy to follow whether you’re refining an existing armbar game or building one from scratch. It’s a solid addition to any grappler’s technical library, especially for those who want to make submissions from this position a bigger part of their attacking arsenal.
Excellent presentation, short and to the point. Also practical.
clear explanations and practical details that are easy to apply.
One of the best arm bar instructional!! Worth every cent.
Shawn did a great job both explaining and showing the techniques on this video. I have successfully used a number of these techniques while sparring with my training partners.
Great details!
Great video ! Breaking down every way there is to hit a armbar .
Awesome, simple, digestible. Good work!
I love armbars!
Best armbar instructional for SET UPS. Its mind blowing.

Very helpful, great focus on the shotgun armbar
Awesome!
I love the details
Brief but to the point - some nice details from an armbar master
Already started hitting these arm bars in class very detailed
Shawn was clear and straight to the point no extra talking bs like danaher and his golden boy cuxk ryan.
Effective straight forward jiu jitsu
Informative and well presented.
Has been a great addition to my BJJ game

Great technical precision
