This is my jam right here. There’s nothing better than going for a Hail Mary while getting crushed and the coach is getting angry screaming at you to do some proven basic movement instead of a “stupid” submission from a bad position.

Awesome content. My jiu-jitsu has improved a lot thanks to your content. I have gone from super bad to just bad.

Best regards, Roni from Finland

Hi Jordan! So in the last one, it should be "when you're in TOP half guard" (for the kimura counter). Thank you so much for this video and thank you for including techniques that you may be unfamiliar with e.g. buggy/triangle - really cool !

I’m surprised you didn’t throw in the sacrifice baseball bat choke where you let someone pass your guard and then choke them with the baseball bat.

I’m no high-level grappler, but I would say a couple things about these types of submissions:

If you’re new, and your fundamentals aren’t good, don’t focus on stuff like this. It’s fun, and you can catch some people by surprise, but you always want to make sure you have solid fundamentals before you start experimenting with goofy stuff.

Also, if you do go for one of these submissions, be aware that there’s a weird psychological thing that happens with the person who’s caught in the submission, where it’s not uncommon for them to refuse/fail to tap because they can’t seem to acknowledge or accept that they are being submitted from what should be a position of control.

So be careful and don’t hurt anyone.

Great video! This is the type of stuff that never gets talked about. I legit appreciate it

[akimbo]

Great video i just started bjj and had no idea how to submit someone and i always felt like i could work something out and this made me understand submissions alot better :fire

[MatthewDavidT]

Always love these sneaky moves and fresh angles to approach the submission from.

9:55 usually if my opponent is trying to kimura me from bottom, IF MY LEGS ARE FREE, I’ll make my own kimura grip as I run around the head to the back, and finish with an armbar. 🤙

Honorary mention. Straight arm lock from the fat man roll if you're in turtle position and someone brings their elbow too far around you

[proofhero]

The bottom side control triangle is a favorite. If you can, grab the arm posted on the mat and pull it toward you. Other option, dive under the leg to change the angle of your legs Tight.
First one is my go to, second one is my training partners.

I could add a J-Lock from bottom sidecontrol. Very sneaky 😁

[ryanscottnix]

Huge fist bump, Jordan! Love your videos!

[sethdudley]

Hey Jordan, love your content brother it’s such a privilege to watch your videos ☺️. I’d love to see a north south escaping video as this position is one I am stuck in a lot haha no matter the variation, double overs, one Over one under and double unders everyone catches me in the position 🤣. Keep up the content brother it’s amazing work:).

[BenLymanO_o]

This video is for me! I spend a good portion of my bjj life in bad positions and I wondered what was available

[dirtygeazer]

4:56 if you don't get arm lock don't give up right here you can lock up a darce from the back

[cooperevans]

7:14 ahhh I see Jordan you're unaware of the diesel squeezel, something I thought would be mentioned in this video!

[mattmcalexander]

Babe, wake up, a new Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu video is out!

[proofhero]

😂😂I’m guilty of exposing my neck to grab those ankles if I see it open. Opportunistic 🤣

[Rosejonathon]

With the triangle from bottom side control i like to hit a straight armlock on the arm not in the triangle, same as you would from like closed guard where it's pinched in your neck and shoulder. I do that If the choke isn't working.
