video – amazing wrestling back handspring for the pin

I can’t believe this guy has ever done this maneuver before. It’s WWF stuff.

WOW! That was pretty impressive. The guy in blue must have been freaking out while being taken to the mat this way.

I’ve never seen that; but I actually wouldn’t be surprised if he has trained it. There are similar maneuvers found in Japanese shooto (shoot wrestling), and probably other submission wrestling styles. I did a bit, when I trained at the Inosanto Academy, but it never became one of my primary focuses. Go to YouTube, and search for Erik Paulson videos, or Yori Nakamura. You might find a move, where out of a lockup, you jump up, turn upside down and grab the leg as you forward roll into a leg lock. lots of variations. It seems like WWE stuff, but people do use such techniques.

Cool. I love it when acrobatics can be incorporated unexpectedly into other sports.

Thanks.

Wild. I was afraid for that guy’s leg though.
