Heavyweight Flying Armbar
Flying armbars are rare to begin with. Flying armbars that actually land are even more elusive...but a flying armbar from a 6'7" Heavyweight fighter...is a Unicorn. ATT Altitude Coach and Trainer Alex Huddleston landed what he called a "semi" flying armbar. Whether he leapt into the skies or merely hopped, he landed the darn thing. This was at the last Fight to Win Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament in Colorado Springs. Huddleston is a striking instructor at the fitness center, but he is one heavyweight who has not neglected his wrestling and BJJ. He trains with Bobby Lashley and BJJ professor Ethan Day honing his ground skills and has not missed a tournament since moving to the Colorado gym. The move and his overall performance for the day and the months prior earned Alex his Blue Belt.
ATT Altitude had 12 competitors in multiple divisions and took home 7 gold medals. This is only our second tournament as a team under Professor Ethan Day's BJJ program.
The flying armbar is a direct result of a seminar Professor Ethan set up at ATT Altitude with BJJ black belt Leonard Pecanha weeks prior to competition. On June 30th he has 4th degree black belt Renato Tavares conducting a seminar at ATT Altitude in Aurora, CO.
Professor Ethan is building one of the strongest and fastest growing BJJ programs in Aurora, possibly Colorado. Come down to the gym and try out our BJJ program. There is a kids program and an adult program.
