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:hugging: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:hugging: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.

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:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2: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:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2: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:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2: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:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2: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:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Great instructional
A great instructional with a lot of details. If armlocks are your obsession - this is your instructuctional :-)

good stuff bu!
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2: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:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2: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.
