About Submission techniques
Submission techniques are the ultimate goal in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—the methods to force your opponent to tap out. From chokes that restrict blood flow or breathing, to joint locks targeting arms, legs, shoulders, and ankles, submissions are the art's most defining aspect. Learning to recognize submission opportunities, set them up properly, and finish them safely is a lifelong journey. Submissions can be launched from any position, making them available whether you're on top, bottom, or in transition.
Understanding submission techniques is essential for developing a well-rounded Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu game. Whether you're training for self-defense, competition, or personal growth, mastering these techniques will improve your overall grappling ability and strategic understanding of positional dynamics.
