Flying headscissors takedown

[DiabloNYC]

Someone posted this on my facebook feed. Thought I'd share here. A little pixelated, but neat nonetheless. It's a woman performing a flying headscissors takedown on a man, look like a martial arts demo. Footage of the move is looped over and over several times:

One good martial art about it is "vovinam viet vo dao" or "viet vo dao"
There is a lot of these demo vids on youtube

The OP's facebook link is no longer available. Does anyone who saw it know of any copies?

I've noticed in the professional wrestling business, some time ago the ladies stopped holding on to the flying headscissors hold and let them out when they take them down to the mat. Kind of a shame since years back that hold was kept on for a good five minutes or so.
Also, I don't know when the ladies decided to all wear a type of netted legging rather than just wear the bikini/shorts. Don't know why either; being a thigh lover, I certainly prefer a facescissors applied by bare thighs

noface, you're absolutely right. Now they go for a kind of flip to the mat instead of holding the scissors. I guess it's easier and takes less training to do. The netted leggings I don't mind. I really don't like those big fuzzy boots like Taya Valkyrie wears. They don't seem to add anything to appearance.

This is only guesswork, but I wonder if the answer to both questions might be a matter of safety? Letting go whilst the recipient of the move is in the air allows them more freedom to land or roll onto their backs as they were trained. Whereas heading for the ground head or neck first trapped in someone else's legs needs a lot of trust in your opponent.

And those leggings often look silky smooth, which again would allow more freedom of movement. I'd wondered if that was partly why oil or 'mud' was often used in fantasy wrestling. I'm sure there are other reasons for it, but the stuff allows amateur participants to slip in and out of moves easily without the risk of trapped limbs being broken or sprained.
