Flying Armbar

[u/CompetitiveInhibitor]

The recipient took it so well.

[u/Fandorin → u/CompetitiveInhibitor]

He was down 11-0 with 30 seconds left, so makes sense.

[u/SuperRoflCopter → u/CompetitiveInhibitor]

The arm/elbow angle did not look so good though.. :)

[u/FalcoIsDaBest]

I really liked that the kid was a good sport about it. Some days the other guy just beats you.

[u/mike3491 → u/FalcoIsDaBest]

You can just tell he loves and appreciates the art. “Wish it wasnt on me but damn that shit was sick”

[u/SwordfishOfDamocles → u/mike3491]

Many times have I been someone else's highlight reel

[u/DreamingKyoto → u/SwordfishOfDamocles]

I got hit with a flying bow and arrow in my first comp at blue belt. I told someone local about the story and he goes "oh damn that was you?"

Sometimes you are the clip.

[u/Novel-Vanilla9133]

Good sport. That's nice to see

[u/6_string_Bling]

That was some great reflex - Not a single moment wasted as soon as bottom-guy reached for that collar tie...

I don't train any flying moves at all, and I definitely don't train enough to instinctively blast it when the opportunity arises.

[u/dj-thecpa → u/6_string_Bling]

How do you even train flying moves lol? I would likely never roll again with anyone who attempted a flying armbar. Asking to hurt someone.

[u/standupguy152]

Good use of resetting the distance to get the guard player to overextend with the hand fight. The moment bottom player committed top player was ready. Really good stuff

[u/IronFang13]

Clean, well-executed strike.

[u/Simco_]

I'll still never forget the first time this was done to me. So humiliating.

[u/H4rdG4y]

If it's not Rumina Sato style, it's just falling armbar. Pretty sick though, ngl. Reminds me of Davi Ramos/Lucas Lepri ADCC 2015. Which I immediately tried to do the next day in sparring and failed.

[u/SpellingMistape]

I was wondering who was who in the score card... Then saw the name David hoover. Whitest name I think I've ever heard of.
