Blue Belt · Armbar Systems
A competition highlight, not a gym demo. Deivid's caption reads, "Taking flight with the helicopter arm bar! Watch how technique and precision come together for this high-flying submission!" and credits @therose.ajj. From open guard, the player on her back lifts and spins her standing opponent fully overhead and lands holding the armbar.
The player in the black gi is on her back in open guard in front of a referee and a crowd. Her feet are set on her standing opponent, and she holds the opponent's arm.
She extends her legs and lifts the opponent off the mat, keeping hold of the arm. The opponent rotates completely overhead, legs flying, in the helicopter spin the caption names.
They come down to the mat together with the opponent on her back and the guard player holding the arm extended between her legs in armbar position, as the referee steps in.
