well....
of course the armbar from guard works.....but
its too risky...Why even take the chance when sweeping someone from the guard is much easier and less risky.....if the sweep doesn't work, big deal-you go right back to guard and try again....if the armbar doesn't work, you may either wind up in a bad position or get punched, or both....why take the chance?
I have been in this position sparring with gloves a thousand times, and especially with untrained people, there so easy to sweep from the guard...remember everyone you face on the street knows how to punch, and will punch you if you go for an armbar, its just natural reaction, but NOBODY can stop your guard sweep if its at least half way decent
