I just read this article on bjj.org talking about what the writer of the article felt where some weeknesses in bjj.This is what he had to say about bjj lower body subs:
Minuscule lower body submission: Experienced Shootfighters can end the fight against the BJJ elite at a moment's notice. Allan Goes' ankle was badly broken by Frank Shamrock in a Pancrase match. Goes was lucky the referee gave him an escape since he was too close to the edge of the ring. After the cast was taken off his ankle, Goes became determined to master the lower body submission game. During one of his trips to Brazil, he surprised many of his previous grappling partners by applying quick lower body submission techniques. The persisting hostile stance of the BJJ community to lower body submission only adds to this weakness.
What is your opinion of this article?Does bjj really have a hostile stance towards lower body subs or do bjj guys just dont choose to use them as much has a choke or arm lock?
