Submission: Armbar

This months submission is the Armbar. Here is a web definition (you can't beat a good old definition):

"An armbar (sometimes called a straight armbar) is a joint lock that hyperextends the elbow joint. It is typically applied by placing the opponent's extended arm at the elbow over a fulcrum such as an arm, leg or hip, and controlling the opponent's body while leveraging the arm over the fulcrum."

To cut along story short you bend the arm to the point of snapping. Now it is worth noting that some people have double jointed elbows, so I would recommend choking them out instead. Here the legend that is Roger Gracie demonstrates how an arm bar should be done, double joints or no double joints I don't think anyone will be surviving a monstrous Roger Gracie armbar:
