Armbar from guard gracie
Bobcat lift cylinder
Gracie Barra black belt Braulio Estima has had the honor to be the first BJJ fighter to introduce the helicopter armbar. Then, this flashy jiu jitsu move spreads everywhere and tested by several practitioners. Otherwise, the helicopter armlock is a quick, savage, fantastic, and effective submission when applied correctly.
The butterfly guard carried on prospering in the hands (or feet rather) of others such as Fernando “Tererê”, Fernando “Margarida” and Marcelo Garcia, three of the sports most iconic figures. Marcelo truly raised the bar of the butterfly guard, setting up his trademarked guillotine and x-guard from the butterfly hooks.
