Tomoe Nage Sweep to Arm Bar
Interesting, but I'm not a fan. Seems like too many variables could turn it to disaster. Thoughts?

It's a good move, if uke is dumb enough to get baited into it. But I don't know anyone that is going to stand straight up like that and bend over the top of you.

The actual turnover to the juji-gatame is fairly slick. I like the way he spins uke, much like uki-goshi with the feet. I like that the juji-gatame is pretty automagic.
As Derek said, the main problem is a skilled grappler is not going to stand up like that. If you're going to stand up like that, it's like manna from heaven.
All in all though, really interesting approach.

Yeah, those idiots in MMA who want to stand up and drop a straight punch down on the guy. See it all the time there...lol I'm sure some wannabe would think they could do that in a street fight and wala...tomoe nage/jime gatame
