It's the sort of lock I would love to use but Ive been thinking this past week and I can't for the life of me figure out how to escape it. thanks for any help and happy christmas to everyone. know your limits

It might be hard to get out of, but it's hard not to telegraph a 'juji' or armbar or cross arm lock as other people may know it. There are very simple techniques, such as twisting sharply towards them as they sit back to get your elbow out, gripping your own arms/hands/sleeves can make it a pain long enough for you to work on twisting your way round. If it's your right arm for example, you may be able to fling your legs to your left and roll left to that you end up in a straight line with them instead of the usual T shape, allowing you to follow through and twist out. To be honest, I've never had trouble escaping the transition to juji, my opponents have always been loose and telegraphed, the best way to escape a lock is to not let them get one on. I'll let you know if I return to training and learn anymore.
