Rick Ellis answers the question: Are all BJJ submissions equal?

[dadmindmatters]

I love you're content and always get so much from it, thank you. I have a channel where I talk about how jui jitsu has helped my mental health. I'm sure a lot of my subscribers are probably always enjoying your content but might you ever be interested in doing a quick zoom where we talk about why bjj could be the solution to the loneliness Epidemic? Hope all is good with you and thanks again again for your awesome work James

Great concept, and great honesty in telling the truth.

Hola Rick !!tengo 44 años y empece bjj a los 40, desde el comienzo del entrenamiento me di cuenta que se me daba muy bien los triangulos y me sentia muy comodo en guardia cerrada, montada y espalda. E estado muy influenciado por los gracie challengers, Y e seguido ese camino y me va muy bien, Triangulos y raspados desde closed guard que me llevan a la montada y o finalizo con americanas y triangulos o ataco un brazo para esponer la espalda del oponente, y desde hay en sistema de camisa de fuerza de gordon ryan lo tengo muy estudiado y practicado, En la actualidad estudio seated guard para entrar en sistema de ashi garami, x guard etc etc. Pero sin perder la esencia del jiu jitsu como defensa personal
Un cordial saludo desde España

I agree that your opponent might be so high that they don't notice their arm is broken but it is definitely going to make a difference in how that arm functions afterwards lol

Rear naked chokes don’t actually work that often in mma from a bjj style back take besides people like Charles. They usually happen when someone’s getting beat up with ground and pound and just turn there backs in a desperate attempt to get up. My favorite move still tho and obviously super important, but arm triangles where you don’t go to side control (like bo nickal did) are probably better for mma as a pure sub.

Are they all equally "sexy", i.e. as spectacular or as entertaining?, no. However, the speed of the tap can be "sexy", no matter what it is. Self Defense is a whole different topic. For SD, debilitating the aggressor is king and that means a choke or a break below the waist so they can't move. Just my thoughts.

but leg locks are actually a good counter to punching. you have control of their base, thats why k guard is blowing up in mma
