There's also a very good example of flying armbars in the instructional book "Best Judo."
Orange and up? Are you serious? I've never met an orange belt (who had'nt trained elsewhere) who could flying armbar, you must train at some freaky damn club.b0b said:Ask your instructor. Our more advanced guys (Orange and up in Judo) practice it.
Exactly. I don't understand why you have to jump like a suicidal person, just to justify the "flying" part. Fall down, pulling him down, while you put on the armbar. Why jump? You'll just hurt yourself. I've got to admit, it looks cool when that Kashiwazaki person does it, but if the opponent just drops down, you'll land on your head. I don't understand how Rumina Sato manages to survive all the crazy flying armbars and triangles he does, I mean he falls down hard every time. He doesn't weigh much and he's very athletic I guess, but still.Balto:
I have hit a version of the flying armbar in a tournament setting.
The key is not to jump upwards. From standing, your opponent gives you a right stiff arm to stop your shot (wrestlers do this all the time). You counter by grabbing high on his right tricep with both hands.
Now the key is to simply fall down and backwards. Place your right knee and shin into your opponent's hip. Use your bodyweight as you fall to straighten out his arm. Kick your left leg over his head, squeeze your knees together, and arch for the finish.
Jumping is a waste of energy. It looks a little bit cooler, but it is slower and much more dangerous. If you mess up the falling version, you have just pulled open guard. If you mess up the jumping version, you have just landed hard on your head.
