On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Stephen Koepfer at New York Combat SAMBO in New York city, and today I'm going to be demonstrating beginning SAMBO. In this clip, I'm going to show you a basic shoulder lock from the scarf position in the event that your partner tries to bridge and roll you. So once I get the scarf, he may grab me and try and roll me over his body. As long as I'm keeping my weight forward I'm good. What I want to do is slide my forearm behind his elbow until I can grab my own hands. Then I'm going to pull his head up, pull his elbow in towards each other and rotate. This would be a twist on this shoulder. Once again, he grabs me. I have a tight, get his head up, reach behind, grab the hands, rotate the shoulder.
