Rose Namajunas took just 12 seconds to finish her opponent at Invicta FC 5 last Friday, and we here at GracieMag.com think that’s pretty awesome. The fact that she did it with a flying armbar is equally as awesome.

Check out the video below and props to E. Casey Leydon for the video production.

At this year’s Jiu-Jitsu World Championship there will be some beasts from Finland making things rough on the competition. The Northern European nation will be sending a delegation of combatants to the biggest event of the season. A Jiu-Jitsu and judo black belt, Max Trombini, who produced champions like Eduardo “Português” Santoro, is there to help with the preparations.

“I taught an awesome seminar here; it was packed. Some representatives of mine, Paivi Levonen, Teemu Aittamaa and Daniel Azevedo, competed at the Finland Open and earned trips to the Worlds. Daniel and Teemu closed out the absolute,” remarked the teacher at team Cia Paulista, who sent GRACIEMAG.com some videos from the seminar in Finland.

“First I teach a kata otoshi, a takedown technique. Next I demonstrate a finish from De La Riva guard. The other link has my students who teach under me Teemu and Paivi.
