three60roundhouse Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 What's your favorite move (or moves) that look very spectacular but work? Grappling has a tendancy to be unspectacular, and BJJ isn't much of a spectator sport for the untrained....but what do you think? ---Any kinda sweep where you pick the person up in the air and throw them to the side or overhead...with hooks or feet in the hips... ---The flying kimura from the half guard...cool move. --Helicopter armbar...I can't do it but it looks hella cool. ---A lot of standup game...judo throws and such. --The triangle. Look at some of Nogueria's fights. ---The 270 degree armbar from knee-in-the-belly. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!

Fenris-wolf Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Ha! Well, as a veritable grappling expert after one Judo class, I know none of the Japanese names and a grand total of 3 holds! Nonetheless, my favourite one was where I straddle their hips and pretty much wrap my arms and legs around their arms and legs! Mostly, it just looked funny, and it worked. I tried to show it to a guy @ Muay Thai, but predictably he broke down into hysterical laughter. Dirty boy. Let Us Turn The Jump Rope In Accord With Socialist Principles!

Pratrick Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Lots of cool stuff. Flying triangle Double elevator from the guard right into an armbar Have a look at genki Sudo's Vale Tudo fights for some very entertaining stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibby Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Some throws are great! Shoulder works, WWE-esque! Many of the WWE moves are useable if your fast enough, and they HURT. Go a head, suplex someone next chance you get, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJS Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 As far as a practical move i Love Triangles. A Flying Arm Bar is also pretty awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btroadman Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 My favorite moves are where you take your opponents arm, knee, ankle, wrist, or head and wrap your arms or legs around them and put them in excruciating amounts of pain until they tapout. I think that BJJ is an awesome spectator sport, to especially the untrained. I bring in people from the outside to my classes weekly and they want to join after watching just 1 class. For the same reason why the PFC and UFC do so well in ratings. BJJ - Blue BeltTaeKwonDo - Brown BeltKrav MagaKickboxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebranch Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Grab the skin in the rib area and use them like handles and throw him. It really sucks.

Tibby Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Sounds like you have been watching Cradle 2 the Grave... That was a smooth move, if you would throw someone with that, it would look SWEET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sens55 Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Anything that works. I can lie about it how good it looked later! Like that used to say in baseball...thei all line drives in the box score. Seriously, I think any move that works looks great. Much better than the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
