The Armlock Obsession
Dave is the man. I've had the opportunity to train with him and at a Guerrilla affiliate, and it was always amazing. His concepts on threading are well worth studying.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗The Armlock Bible
Dave Camarillo gives us so many details and concepts that for me this tutorial is The Armlock Bible
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Dave Camarillo
I am amazed at his prowess and technique. An unrivaled expert of delivering details on the meat and potatoes of everyday positions to transitions. This is an instructional you can not watch enough times.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Armbars Armbars Armbars
D. C. shows armbars from everywhere either using control/pinning or transition from every kind of szenario. Wheter it is guard or top. Turtle top or bottom. Passing or side control bottom. He teaches you the mindset, the grips, the path and of course the technique to get it!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Absolute KING of instructionals
If you've been in the game for a while, you are familiar with Dave Camarillo. If not, you are about to learn from a Judo and BJJ black belt who has created his own system (Guerilla Jiu Jitsu) blending both of the arts in the way they were originally intended, and has taught some of the best MMA fighters in the world. Don't be confused by the title, this is way more than an armlock instructional. If all you're looking for is ways to increase your finishing percentage with armlocks, look no further. But you will also learn a systematic approach to incorporating armlocks into a complete pinning system, amidst various top control positions. He also goes through standing techniques, takedowns, his unique "judo impact control" concept, and ways to transition through all of the material seamlessly. You don't need to have a Judo background to digest and apply any of the material, but I must highlight that it is probably the single best instructional for someone with a Judo background to evolve into a ground game specialist. The only shame is this is the only instructional available by him on the site.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻instantly improve your armlocks
this is a great series packed with exceptional detail- will improve your understanding of armlocks 100%- honestly worth more than the cost
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Holy Grail of Arm Bar and Pinning
Don't look further, you have found it. I have never seen the armbar submission taught as an effective pinning position. This video is a resource on finishing the arm bar and getting the arm bar from most of the dominant positions. Even better. Mr Camarillo teaches you how to efficiently pin people. This video teaches you hence way more than solely arm bars. His teachings are that legit that they turbocharged my game. I really like his dynamic judo bjj hybrid approach. Hopefully he will soon drop more content. Highly recommended. Camarillo has a unique and very cerebral style that can enrichen you game regardless of your skill or preferences.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Catching armlocks everywhere
I thought my Juji Gatame game was getting better before. Then I watched this instructional and realized I knew nothing compared to the knowledge I’m gaining from Dave’s Armlock Obsession.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great instructional
A great instructional with a lot of details. If armlocks are your obsession - this is your instructuctional :-)
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻professor
good stuff bu!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻BECOME AN ARMHUNTER!
This instructional established a higher level understanding on how to CONTROL the armbar as a position. This is by far the best armbar instructional on BJJ Fanatics. I have studied John Danaher's, Lachlan Giles, and Justin Flores instructionals on this subject. While they are all great, this one is different because you will learn from Dave how to implement the system and create chaos on your opponent at the same time. This instructional is both the system and the MINDSET for armhunting. Dave explains control better than anyone I've seen so far and teaches all the different pathways to get to the position/submission. This is the one instructional that truly changed my game and gave me the excitement to hunt for arms on the mat nonstop.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Camarillo at his top
Dave Camarillo is one of the top instructor out there. here he is at his top, this video will teach you few "new" techniques, but will refine you skill in what you already know. your submission rate will skyrocket.

Dave is a great instructor and this video highlights why he is still in demand. Tons of information and details in a systematic, intelligent approach.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent instructional
I was lucky enough to do a seminar with Dave when he was in Australia a couple years ago and it was awesome. This instructional video highlighted the key details he went over, plus so much more. Dave has a great teaching style and his system is easily put into practice. Excellent content and a must have resource.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Take their arm home with you
This DVD gave me what is now a very high percentage finishing system! I teach this at my gym from time to time, and have had people request private lessons to dive deeper into the material. I now have white belts catching upper belts with this material. The details are amazing!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Everything You Ever Needed to Know About Armlocks but Were Afraid to Ask
I've always been a fan of Camarillo's teaching style, and this didn't disappoint. His method is outlined nicely and details are otherworldly. Who knew there was this much to the humble armlock we all learn on week one? Well, a lot. Camarillo has answered questions to challenges I had maintaining good armlocks without knowing what I was missing. My finish rate is much higher and my approach to the armlock is a lot different after this. He identified some small mistakes I was making that made a huge difference. Do yourself a favor and join the Legion of Arm Hunters! You won't be disappointed.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Amazing instructional, the amount of
Amazing instructional, the amount of details and transitional application is amazing. I was having trouble finishing the arm bar, however after studying the techniques, I was able to finish my armbars and keep dominat positions. Highly recommend!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Pure Gold! Incredible.
This is the ultimate cross body Armbar system. Her starts by showing you how to finish the Armbar crossbody trouble shooting everything. Then he shows you entries followed by best passes to land where needed. It’s a full system. Perfect for smaller lighter guys too. I’d never seen Dave before but this guy is wicked good. 10/10
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Amazing instructional
Indeed amazing instructional, well structured, explained in details and very practical
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Game changer
I was skeptical at first until I was surprised at how well one of the techniques worked. I able to set up, almost effortlessly maintain, and finish an armlock on a solid 220 lb opponent. I’m a small guy (145lbs), so I had given up on the traditional arm lock after years of being stacked by larger people. I have a renewed interest in armlocks again. Dave Camarillo is a brilliant martial artist and instructor.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A must have for arm hunters.
I have trained with Dave many times over the years and while his in person instruction is fantastic it is so nice to finally have such an amazing reference tool to refer to. I have already seen many details that I had forgotten and learned many new things. If you like arm hunting there is not a better resource out there.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Best armlock
Dave is known as a master of the armlock and here he shows all the details to enter his armlock system from literally anywhere. It’s impressive to see that he has become as good an instructor as he was a competitor.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The Armlock Obsession by Dave Camarillo!!!!! The best!!!!
The Armlock Obsession is my favorite BJJ fanatics video so far!!! It is at the top with Danahers. I love the way Dave Camarillo methodically breaks down the arm lock and all its defenses. Plus he is the first instructor that added positional threading to the video. Really impressive!!! I cannot wait for the next video in the series!
Response from BJJ Fanatics😉😎🤗Great information on this DVD
I have never been one to arm hunt. My game were chokes and playing with the foot, but after watching Dave's DVD, it changed how I approach my game. I am able to maintain mount a lot better and now all I want are arms! He breaks down the instructions so easy to understand. It changed my outlook how to attack!
