well said. when talking about modern grappling arts such as sambo, judo, bjj...they all have a common heritage so alot of it is the same thing. sambo is how they do it in russia, judo is how they do it in japan..etc

@RightWingCon81 - awesome name :)

like all good techniques i think it is the result of understanding where is best to push for disrupting balance, and utilising all limbs in unison. note how he uses his left leg to push into the armpit of the fellow on top.

again, easier in a tutorial, but still its worth noting that the technique isn't "lift your opponent up with one arm"

@crazyfuckerguy go to IJF and see for yourself.

@pcjudosambo wrong...its the judo practitioners that practice the jujitsu style....judo hardly teaches any submissions if so its rare and not complete.

I'm not sure I like this. Deep half guard is one of my specialties and it takes a lot of effort to sweep a guy, simply hooking his leg with your arm will not make him simply fall to the side for you to grab the knee bar.

@MrJasperwes Yep, many of Sambo leg locking techniques are now being used in BJJ clubs. The only difference is that in Sambo, you're allowed to do leg locks (most of them) at an early age and experience level. You don't have to be a "brown or black belt" to do different types of leg locks... thus Sambo guys tend to be much more fluent in leg locks than any other grappler (Catch Wrestling is pretty close).
