Pictionary of Wrestling Holds
Longbow Backbreaker


Personal definition:

Almost the same thing as the Knee Backbreaker, except that it is performed on the ground. Ideal if your opponent is too heavy or if you want to consume less energy to execute a backbreaker. It can be used as a follow up to the Bow and Arrow submission hold.
Big Book of Wrestling Moves definition: Back Breaker Hold, Bow and Arrow
The victim is on the mat face down. The attacker places both of their knees on the victims back and places one arm around the victim's neck and the other around one or both legs. From this position, the attacker leans backwards until they are on their back and the victim is lifted in the air. The attacker pulls on the neck and legs causing pressure to the victim's back.
Wiki definition: Quite a few variants of the backbreaker are defined on WikiPedia, but I can't seem to find the closest one to the Longbow Backbreaker.
