Was it the other judo-ka's weight or was it an attempt to escape? Can someone explain this armbar to me? "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men.

ps1 Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 He had no choice but to roll. Carefully watch White's leg after it passes over. It goes between Blues legs. This means that blue can not step forward with his right leg. When he backs it out he is effectively swept (his right arm is tied up and his right leg is forced to back out). The arm bar happens when White is sure to lock down Blue's head, making it too difficult to sit up and relieve the pressure on his elbow. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
Shui Tora Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 ps1 Is right... If White's leg hadn't been there, then the Blue could've stepped with his right leg and performed a good take down...

ps1 Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 With the weight distribution were it was he could not have stood once White got his legs in position. He did have another option...which was to do a face plant into the ground. I'm guessing that blue didn't want to end up with a broken nose and decided to roll instead. I wish the angle let us see the grips that white had. I'm sure that would shed even more light onto it for you. As I'm sure you know...grip placement is extremely important.

topdawg Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Even if he didn't roll and did the face plant he would still be caught in the same arm bar A computer beat me in a game of chess once but it was no match for me in a kickboxing match
