Anybody know how the swim move got into the !0th Planet system?

Inquiring minds want to know. I say minds but I just mean mind as in mine. Im guessing Jean Jaques, but maybe judo peoples. Maybe a gift from a bridge troll for getting a question right? Unless Eddie made it? Ive been wondering for a while

Aliens implanted it into Eddie's brain while he was sleeping.

Did a newborn baby girl tell you that with telepathy?

I know Carlson Gracie's lineage uses it, but I don't know if it traces back to Judo for sure.

The shin on the back of the head is a crucial detail that I've only seen Eddie emphasize. Plus it's setup and taken from numerous positions. Bet he learned and adapted from JJ.

My old gym used the move a lot, they came from a Judo/Sambo lineage. The major difference being that they went for the arm bar finish mid transition where as Eddie secures the deep arm hook using the move as a major transition into spider web. I have tiny hands and a weak grip, so I always opted for Eddie's variation.

Yes, I think its Sambo too.
The leg positioning is perfect and keeps your knees tight during an attempted escape. A tight hip position is only available if you dont bump onto your shoulder, creating a small gap. then comes swim move. named because it looks like you are swimming.
WOW...IM GONE. ^^^not too sure what im talking about.

Im kinda almost somewhat pretty sure that makes sense

Judo and Sambo-also known as Iatskevich turn after Alexander Iatskevich

Ive even seen some jap jiu jitsu guys use it. It goes way back.
