man, there's this guy in the gym that keeps kicking my head everytime he attempts a flying armbar... Im always on the verge of getting ko'd...now I know how all of cro cops opponents feel like after a fight... does this ever happen to you guys? or have you guys done this?
I just kicked one of my classmates in the lip last thursday while going for one. Its a pretty rare thing, and I appologized profusely. I was thinking about how that would be a great setup for any armbar in mma, similar to the way Ivan Salivary kicked Joseph Riggs as he pulled him into the triangle from open guard at the recent UFC.
I haven't been kicked in a flying armbar, but I've been kicked in the face from regluar armbars more times than I care to remember...
i kneed myself in nose once going for a triangle. basicly the guy forced my legs forward and my knee went into my face. man that was bad
I saw someone get a black eye from a flying armbar attempt. Nobody wanted to roll with the guy who did it for a week.
most of the guys i grapple with usally kick me when they get an armbar..one time i was getting a Heel hook and we rolled and i kicked my partner in the chin by acident i guess it just happens but you get used to it
I got hit right under the eye with a heel when a dude was going for an armbar... walked around with a black eye for a week,
yeh armbars are the worst especially that one where you start from the butterfly guard and you finish with your back in the air you can get really hurt doing this move
