So I was walking the dog the other night and started a list of rare mma submissions and was wondering if anybody wanted to help me expand/correct it
I'm not including standard versions of things like straight armbars, triangles, anaconda/brabos, guillotines, RNCs, arm triangles or heel hooks. I will include some of the preceding subs if they are applied with an interesting setup like a flying armbar...
I don't really have any criteria for submissions to qualify as rare, except for them not appearing on the list above. Not looking at any numbers/stats to help decide what's what...
these can be subs that might have not actually happened yet in mma competition, but are theoretically possible as outcomes in an mma fight, eg no collar chokes or w/e. Also includes some subs that might not still be legal in modern competition.
I'm not a bjj practitioner btw, as some of you might be able to tell. I just find submissions in general to be fascinating. Please correct me where I inevitably get things wrong
here's what I've got so far, with gifs when I can find em↓
This is that old school catch as catch can shit
I like it, and BJJ’s so known these days the main subs barely work anymore, so perhaps making more people aware of these techniques is going to up the ante
