I think the armbar here was really just meant to be entertaining to the mainstream, however the bigger problem is that even RBSD guys, TFT comes to mind, markets “joint breaking” as an “advanced” skill to expand a student’s ability to cause injury and improve his or her efficiency. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StAyDgwwREc
WHY is an armbar even considered a “finishing technique”? In sport, yes, they tap and it’s over but on the street, why would you waste the TIME to even try to break an elbow joint assuming the attacker is still somewhat conscious and can still reach for a concealed weapon like a knife or even a gun. And even if you managed to break the arm, SOMETHING ELSE needs to get HIT, KICKED, or STOMPED before he goes unconcious, so it’s really just an unnecessary step that serves no benefit and leaves more room for SH#T to go horribly wrong.
