Athlete channels WWE and throws opponent through table at BJJ tournament (Video)
By Amy Kaplan
Things took a wild turn during the Jiu Jitsu World League tournament in Los Angeles over the weekend. In a clip that was filmed by a spectator in the stands, two men were seen competing in a match. At one point the match got into a standing guard position before one competitor carried his opponent to the sidelines and dropped him through the judge's table.
The table collapsed and both men were seen walking calmly back to the center of the mat where the aggressor was promptly disqualified.
Neither men have been identified yet.
The comments on the post, which has since gone viral, are almost as funny as the moment itself.
"If I had to choose how I was gonna be DQ’d this would be the only choice. This is the way," someone commented. Another person joked, "Oh, so we can’t even slam people through tables anymore? Jiu jitsu is getting so soft."
A fan commented, "When your Jiu jitsu is s**t and you’d rather take an L from dq" while someone else said, "That kid who got slammed has a lot of restraint. Me and that guy would have been fighting."
Many comments compared it to a pro wrestling move.
"Forgot he was in a bjj match and thought he was on WrestleMania," someone commented. "Thought I was watching Monday Night Raw," someone else wrote.
Just in case you aren't clear on the rules ... this is definitely a no-no in jiu-jitsu.
