Two examples of why it's not always a choice between submission and position...

[Stephan Kesting]

In this video Rob Biernacki talks about how it's a bad idea to just abandon a position while going for a potential submission. And then, using the examples of an armbar from S Mount and the 411 leglock position from the knee cut, he shows how to maintain control over your opponent's base, posture and structure the entire way through the technique.

Big props to Rob for filming this about 12 hours after an absolutely ghastly big toe dislocation while sparring after a seminar! Tough dude...
