https://howtheyplay.com/individual-...-Pocket-Grip-to-Control-and-Finish-the-Armbar
The armbar finish position should be viewed like any other control position: it can lead you to a submission, but you must first maintain control of the position itself. While controlling a partner, there are two predominant grips: the Kimura and the "pocket." Each grip has its own benefits, and sometimes you'll want to use one or the other, or switch back and forth when breaking grips. Let's take a look at some concepts and techniques that arise from the pocket variation.
