I was on Myspace today and saw a short video of a guy(must have been a lightweight) doing a sick flying armbar type thing, but i couldnt figure out who he was. Have any of you seen anything like this, and know where i can find a video or something. THanks alot

I want to see Butterbean do a flying arm bar.

[AJL416AZ]

it was probably Rumina Sato from Shooto. not a top LW, but he's fought some big names, like Gomi, Yves.

he does a lot of crazy shit, apparently he's actually used a figure 4 leglock to tap someone in a fight.

thanks for the info

[tkohonda]

Probably Sato vs Charles Taylor

Jorge Gurgel almost pulled off a flying armbar against Danny Abaddi

[Cromm]

Was it w/ a Gi or w/out ?

[LethalStriker]

I believe that Rumina Sato is a natural 145 lb. fighter. He has been around a long time and is a legend in Shooto, first fight was back in '94.

yea i looked it up and thats who it was. But what exactly is shooto?

[AJL416AZ]

shooto is an amateur fighting organization in Japan. they feature the lower weight classes, featherweight and LW, and most of the top japanese LWs have bouts in Shooto

Gomi, Hansen, Kid, Kawajiri, and Ishida are top dogs that came out of Shooto

Actually it's amatuer and professional. They have 3 different levels if I remember correctly. But like AJL said they highlight the lighterweights mostly and have brought up many of the top LW fighters.
