Once the position is carefully secured, it truly becomes a game of inches. The idea here is to position your right forearm behind your partner's left elbow so that you can pull inward while pushing outward with your neck and head on your partner's hand and wrist, thus hyper-extending the elbow. Interestingly enough, your partner's shoulder flexibility will have a lot to do with how far you need to go in order to get the tap on their elbow.

Bringing your shoulder up toward your ear will help tremendously to focus the isolation, and although the elbow can be brought inward with a simple lift of your right elbow, you really need to apply outward pressure with your head in order to get the submission if your partner is reasonably flexible. Be careful: Not all elbows are created equal!
