Most effective BJJ Submission.

Me and some of my buddies were talking about how a lot of people (mostly beginners) always seem to be trying to set up one finishing move. I'm just curious to what everyone else thinks, I

you may only one to finish with say a triangle but that doesn't mean you won't try different subs to get to that position..

I don't really believe in the "go-to submission" as in it being something you LOOK for, some submissions just fit naturally in your game.

For me my bodytype which is superlong lanky legs and supershort upperbody with all muscles(for my weight) combined with my preference for having a really tight head and arm-control...leads to me getting arm-triangles a lot.

I don't ever go like "ohh im gonna go for that damn armtriangle" or anything, but because my game is a natural set up for the submission it comes naturally.

The submission I get caught with the most is the kimura but that is because our gym has like 80% people weighing around 100 kg. The people who are technically better than me usually don't even go for submissions on me, they achieve top-control then they obstruct my breathing until the point that I just can't move my body anymore then they take a free armbar usually.

I am pretty hard to submit because I have a really short upperbody with all my musclemass on my back shoulders abs, core strength. I don't think there is any difference though in being tapped by them exhausting you or them snatching up an arm which wasn't tight enough, neither is better or worse. I guess the road from exhaustion taps to being able to escape may be easier than from straight taps until escapes maybe.

From the bottom I hit all submissions I know of at a pretty equal rate. Well not americanas.

i dont know about most effective but once i really started drilling basic cross chokes, it opened alot of doors for me, ppl have to respect your 1st deep grip and then they start reacting to you, which is what you want, they are now playing your game.


if your cross choke is crap, ppl wont respect the threat and it wont open as many doors. Not to mention you can hit cross chokes in so many positions, inferior and superior.

My highest percentage sub is probably the straight armbar. I usually get this from top side control, but I also occasionally get it from mount or guard. The submission I get caught with the most is the triangle.

 

[shouldercharge]

From the top kimura.from bottom straight armbar

 

[sweetpeanut]

I have long strong legs, and for some reasons triangles come easy to me.

 

[zemanjaski]

I play the standard armbar/triangle/omoplata game off my back, but when i am competing I want to force you to turtle then start a front choke series - if that doesn't work, I want the back with a body triangle and RNC.

bow and arrow

From Guard I always try to do the Triangle. With the Armbar I just seem to be unable to catch anyone :wink:
From Side Control or Mount I'm going for the Keylock.

 

[Jagcorps_esq]

Most effective submission is the one that presents itself.

 

[Mumrik]

(Nogi)

Anything that offers itself from controlling the head and an arm - Brabo, anaconda, triangle, armbars, kimura, Japanese necktie, half or full Nelsons. I do other stuff too, but that is probably the closest I get to "go to" stuff...

I think having a few 'go to' moves is essential to becoming an effective finisher (and competitor, for those who compete). For me, my 'go to' depends on what position I can achieve, as I'm not able to force the same positions against all opponents.

If I'm able to pass the guard and keep my opponent flat, the North-South choke is my definitive 'go to'. If my opponent turns into me, forcing me to play knee on belly, the brabo choke is what I look for. If I'm able to lock up a seatbelt or Kimura grip, I'm looking to attack the back and ultimately set up the RNC (though sometimes the side choke or armlock are easier). If I'm able to get my legs around my opponent's head and arm, either forcing the position from mount or snatching it from the guard, I'm finishing with a triangle. Lastly, if I can't pass my opponent's guard, or if I'm having no luck sweeping or triangling my opponent from the bottom, the cross footlock is my preferred weapon.

[mixmaster staph]

The reverse inverted fauxmoplata.

 

[flej]

Mine most effective is ezekiel and omaplata, I get caught the most in kimuras.

 

[johnkreese]

It all depends on the submission that comes to you the easiest. Some guys are great at arm bars, others at triangles, etc..

Whichever one is handed to me on a platter. *thank you. next*
