WATCH A FLYING ARMBAR THAT'S SO LOW PERCENTAGE, WE GUARANTEE YOU'LL BE TRYING IT TONIGHT.

Definitely do not try this at home (or in the gym).  There are some techniques that go beyond what I like to call "boutique" and into the realm of outrageously impossible.  While they may look cool during a demonstration, they are so eccentric and difficult to achieve that they're just not worth attempting or spending a lot of time drilling.

I'm not talking about the tornado or helicopter sweeps or high-flying Sambo throws or any of those creative and very intricate gi tail chokes.  These are difficult to perfect for sure and they are best employed by a more experienced grappler with a solid foundation.  But, they actually work.  I'm talking the flying stuff.  Anything that requires jumping or platforming off of a dude's back or shoulder is probably not the best technique to concentrate on.  I'd forbid you to practice them, but I know you'd do it anyway.

The technique featured below is brought to us by some Gongkwon Yusul practitioners in South Korea.  It's what they are calling a "turning flying armbar" and it requires some kind of alley oop-type shoulder roll jump thing that has FAIL written all over it.  These guys are not training for competition, so I'm assuming this is meant as a self defense technique, which blows my mind.

On second thought, we do want you to try this at home and/or in rolling with your teammates.  Pull it off and Demolisher will eat his Keiko Raca.
