Sambo World Champion Shows a Safer Way To Do a Flying Armbar

You’ve probably seen the video in which a grappler, trying to do the Flying Armbar, falls down and seriously injures his neck… A horrific incident, one which everyone is extremely sad about and which is bound to leave everyone that watches it – even the most cold-blooded of jiujiteiros out there – with sweaty palms.

Therefore, it’s only natural to ask: are the flying submissions even worth trying? Are they ever worth it?
