There was a russian athlete who got paralyzed from the neck down after he unsuccessfully attempted the BJJ flying armbar. He is slowly recovering. DON'T TRY THIS
@James Scott Oh he must mean the guy that was attempting the flying armbar is the one that got hurt, right? Yeah and BJJ guys don't practice falling techniques as much if at all(ukemi)like Judo and Aikido does.
That's why everyone should know and take some self defense classes deff always good to know how to avoid these moves like I was in kickboxing for years but I made sure I learned enough jiu jitsu to avoid these moves but a professional bbj would still probably get me cuz they know all the corners to cut
@@HanisNaufal-wf6pc And the point of self defense is to neutralise the threat, most people not under the influence are neutralised after you break their arm
In judo, I learnt how to do this as a counter to O soto gari with my younger brother when we would train at home. I caught a brown belt with it, when I was a yellow belt, he was very surprised that I was fast enough to pull it off. Took a good 3 weeks off practising to get it.
this was easy. I did this first try on a school bully. He grabbed me by the collar with one hand and i followed the steps shown in this video. I have no training experience whatsoever but he was on the ground begging for mercy.
love the athleticism involved In performing this move, But it seems awfully risky to perform. against a live resisting opponent. i can see you injuring your back neck and head easy
Leo, having the opponent laying down flat doesn't happen often on the flying armbar. The move is done so fast that people tapout while standing up. Some fall belly down going inverted and tapout anyways too.

I started rolling jitz at 42. I lasted about three weeks until I tore my rotator cuff. I will miss those three weeks for the rest of my life. This is a young persons game. Don’t wait like I did until your tendons and ligaments are brittle. I wanted to do it after ufc1 but put it off. Big mistake. If you’re thinking about getting into it, do it. It’s an amazing sport.
@I agree with you Nah man I'm 17 and I'm 6 months in, I'm doing great and some there longer struggle with me. It's all about how much you want to learn
I'm 59 now and my first martial art was judo at age 11. I switched to karate after a few months because it looked cooler to be able to do spinning back kicks to the head.... STUPID STUPID STUPID!! I went on to study Muay Thai JzKD Kali and boxing but wouldve given them all up if I could turn back time and study judo or at the very least joined my high school.wrestlimg team. Back in the seventies judo wasnt as sexy as the striking arts but I know now that I shouldve spent more time talking to the judo instructor. what's worst is that j was learning judo for FREELANCERS
I competed in the NAGA World Championship and my teammate got this done to him. It was the coolest thing I saw at the event. The guy must have practiced this move for at least a year.
I joined BJJ for self defense. When the instructor got to the point where we were practicing the flying arm bar I wound up quitting. Most schools become sport orientated vs self defense orientated. I would much rather have spent that time learning how to use BJJ to defend against a crazed punch throwing attack.
The sport is what separates BJJ from other obsolete martial arts styles that have no competition. It branches out and there are schools for everyone. Like in medicine there is a family doctor and specialists...
I agree. I’m a white belt but taking a break to reassess things lol. My training academy is one of “the best” but they focus on competitions. I’m not about to get slammed on my head… I just enjoy the sport. Need to find a gym that focuses on the self defense (and fun) aspect
Fred Castellano BJJ has applications for self-defense and as a combat sport. This move is better suited for combat sport. Practitioners are aware of that.
I wonder if it works in real life, try to hold to tight shirts with Chinese fabrics that will break the moment you are midair. Also with someone without shirt, does it work?
R K probably not a dude with a t-shirt, but a guy in a winter coat might work. Probably with a suit coat too. Remember that for your next office meeting.
Would you recommend the knee across the belly compared to up against the opponents left arm pit (as if you were jumping guard)? I would think the the knee across the belly helps you pivot so you can throw your leg over his head easier as well as keeping his arm isolated and extened. Anyway, thanks for this video
Sorry for the late reply...lol Never logged on this account again... I really don't have a preference. I think both are effective. I think it's just a matter of picking one and drill it a million times. The gurd one though give a sense of security if things go wrong you have the guard..an omoplata, etc... But a fighter cannot have doubt in his mind. He must believe and go for the kill.
Sliced bread just don't do this on the street please not even on the mats I've been doing BJJ (what this is called) for 3 years and this move is a 100 times more dangerous for you as it is for your opponent
Ron Gee well technically you can try to bend the body and land on your back(presumably the other guy doesn’t lift you up forcing to let go before he slams you down) and when someone jumps on you and wrap their bodies around your arm the whole jumping on you will likely pull you down at the start (again,if you’re not big and strong enough to lift them and slam them before they do damage to your elbow joint)
Used to have a brown belt do this, all the time. Easy move to counter: it's massively signposted, so move back and to the side (hard to explain, but it works every time, as long as you're quick) then they are very exposed. Did worry he'd break his flipping neck. To pull this one off, you need real skill - looks easy in the vid. as it's carried out expertly, but far from it in rl.
I also agree it's easy to defend if your reaction time is sharp. Every move has a way out... Lots of guard players master this move. This move was/is done thousands of time in competition and even in the cage.
Koff Lingware tell me how the tournament went I haven’t gone to one tho i’am thinking about it i’am only a white belt with 4 strips so not sure if that’s high enough but I’am going to go eventually so might as well start early
Hudson Webb the groin creates a fulcrum on the elbow. When you elevate the hips at that point and at the same time you pull the wrist to the opposite direction, which is also the same direction the shoulder is going, you then are able to hyperextend the elbow ligaments effortlessly.
Did this in class today. What he fails to mention is that his opponent resists going to the ground which prevents him from slamming to the floor. I did this today and my opponent didn’t resist at all and I was slammed to the mat without expecting that.
@@rmcc0621 - yea, no offense but you should be able to tell that his partner was holding him up. The essence of the move is that your whole body weight is on your opponent
thanks you for putting your time for spreading your knowledge ,, but there is a gap in left side your opponent which he can take an step toward you head and scape or counter your technique ,, i assume instead of bending you right knee under his arm pit we can put our leg around his body just like the left leg and have more control on our opponent's movement ..
Sam Jones well,in bjj,when there’s a weakness /counter to a move like you talked about,it’s quite likely that people have experimented it (when someone does the flying armbar in training/competition) so don’t worry. May be make a “how to counter a flying armbar” vid? Happy training sir
Also if you wrap the right leg around the body like the left leg its another technique: jump guard/jumping into guard,however its not a submission. Happy training though
