Well, there’s no reason it couldn’t when done with better technical skill than what’s in this video (I’m sure he’s capable of proper form with it, but some peoples heart races during a match). It was slightly rushed but he had enough skill to still pull it off, but watch it in slow-mo. He sends the first leg and without it being fully set goes ahead to throw the second leg. This means all of his weight will fall backwards towards his head. This goes REALLY bad if he doesn’t have arm control. Since he does, he pulls this off without paralyzing himself. In a street fight you’d have to control that arm AND use that first leg as leverage. His right arm when gripped in the right spot would help you know if his weight will stay there and will protect his groin area as he finishes the move. All of his weight will also go forward instead of falling backwards, meaning if it fails he can bail with his legs underneath him instead of falling defenseless on his head/neck area. You also have the choice not to throw that second leg over if something feels off. The thing about bjj is you never have to rush when you do the move right. In a match or in a street fight. I grew up at 5’3 in Detroit. I got into a lot of fights being prideful lol untrained street fighters always leave SOMETHING open. It’s just a matter of taking what the opening is and not going into it what you want to do, that’s when you get countered and knocked out 🤣 throw a couple of knees to the stomach first and see if you can control the arm THEN go for it.

Sorry for writing a book 🤣

@@pushpastpain7489 the reason people say it won’t work in a real fight is because the opponent could just ground slam you, which is extremely dangerous, especially if done on concrete. Under bjj rules, they aren’t allowed to do that, so many think it that the flying arm at shouldn’t be allowed either because of it’s unrealistic.

@@trymii5396if it’s sunk in and the opponent can’t catch the arm bar with his other hand gravity alone could break the arm realistically in a real street fight is possible but as previous comments said it’s not ideal

Super dangerous for both.

these are adults tho...

My boy tried it after seeing it on KZfaq and nearly gave himself concussion.

You are so right ....

I agree... not worth it

It’s more risky in no gi than in gi since u get the them good grips

that's because he did it terribly

injure you too, if you do it wrong.

@@hm3drake35 I knew there was a catch somewhere

NO SHIT SHERLOCK HE'S JUMPING UPSIDE DOWN WITH HIS NECK FACING THE GROUND @@will6996

He did tap (or tried) and guy held it until he was on ground

@@will6996Yep, if you search flying armbar dail first result is a guy that snaps his neck and becomes paralyzed

👀👀

It’s me doing the armbar. Couple of points to make here… 1. I didn’t break his arm, I instantly released when he tapped and he was completely fine. 2. It’s combat sports, do you think somebody is an asshole for knocking someone out in a kickboxing fight? If my opponent was hurt as part of a move that wasn’t deliberately to hurt him but to win the match, it would be unfortunate, but certainly called for considering he also signed up to a martial arts competition.

@@GaleaBrothers this, also, what belt/age were you in the video

​@@GaleaBrothersyou lucky he didnt decided to let you fall on your head

@@GaleaBrothers The way he's holding his elbow on the ground doesn't look like he was fine.

This move ought to be called the ‘flying neck break’. According to the commenter here - if you sign up for a competition in a combat sport, anything goes as it’s all about winning…. Too bad of you get hurt. If that’s the mentality of folks performing this stunt (instead of competing with due regard for your opponent’s health), then competitors should be taught to slam anyone trying a flying armbar on their head for their own protection. You break your neck? Too bad - you signed up for a competition in a combat sport…

you sure? he went down really fast, and he didn't catch the guy, the guy was holding on to his arm

by catch i meant support his weight, with his legs, he could have gone limp the moment the asshole jumped and this would result in the asshole basically jumping on his own head, but the champ saved him@@samstephens7688

You're asking the guys in BJJ a question about something in judo? I'm a bit puzzled🤓

You can absolutely throw your opponent. Just don't pick them up and slam them when in closed guard, or caught in a triangle.

@@YesitisDex BJJ came from Judo - are you aware of this?

@@YesitisDex ???????????

@@YesitisDex you're commenting as if you have a clue when you don't. I'm a bit puzzled. 🤓

You guys were doin brazilian jiu jitsu in the 70s? Swert man.

This is a competition

Lol you never been in a fight in your life.

The guy on the ground get folded

Exactly!!! Too risky. I’ve seen the video of the poor Russian guy. He’s lucky he regained some movement

what

@@danielblank9917 comprehension issues?

are you ok or something

not much different from get a hit in the head on MMA 🤡

@@carlaocruel last time I checked this isn’t mma

people with no care for others well being are pathetic as fuck, makes you seem like a weak man. a strong man knows self control.

it is indeed very epic

It's not your job to tell people when they can or can't criticize you brother. Even if you think they're wrong, people get to be wrong online.

@@shibbidydibbidy2241 Ironic

People are criticising it because it's a reckless move that can, and has caused serious injury to both the intended target, and the person executing the move. Once you're commited with ground-free body momentum that neither you or your opponent can stop quickly, control goes out of the window, and while yes it's a competition, the purpose of it is not to cripple each other. I'm sure people will decide for themselves if it's "goddamn epic" or just reckless and foolish.

Don't waste time trying to give some sense to dumbasses
