https://howtheyplay.com/individual-sports/How-to-Defend-the-Armbar-from-the-Back
Defending from the back has developed markedly in Brazilian jiu jitsu over the past two decades. Once someone got to the dreaded position, it was "check mate" for the other person. However, competitors and gym rollers alike evolved to protect their necks better and better over time, and as a result, back attacks have evolved and become more holistic in their attack approach, including the incredibly effective armbar from the back. Here's one very simple method, and a few key details on how to defend this attack as preemptively as possible.
