I agree with the face/neck locks. And while i know this submission isn't cheap there's this kid in my class who seems to exclusively go for it. I don't know the exact name but basically it's one of the few subs you can do in someones guard... where you put one forearm/arm behind the head and grab the sleeve of your gi, then put your other forearm/arm across their throat and squeeze. It works well if you pull it off, and i know it's not cheap but i don't think it's a very technical sub.
I don't think so.cheap submission is when a noob goes for straight footlock

lol, thats the ezekial choke. I am laughing because theres a guy whos famous for it in my gym, hes incredibly strong and has excellent base so you have to open your guard to get rid of him. We can't sweep him or armbar him once hes got it locked on so you have to see it coming.
crossface.
:icon_conf
Who actually taps to a crossface?
Besides, that move's almost as integral to no-gi as breathing. You might as well call the collar choke a cheap submission.
There are plenty of "cheap" subs moves when you are in your gym training with friends. For example when a guy who outweighs you by 50+ lbs chokes your jaw instead of your neck.
There are no cheap subs in a comp.
I don't know why, but I feel real cheap when I get the Ezekiel Choke. I won't even attempt it in a match, unless it's just wide open because A. more skilled guys don't get caught, and B. it was the first submission I learned and did it so many times, it's like I need to work on other aspects of my game, rather then setting up a choke/ sub I am pretty good at.
