Crucifix Submission Options | Jiu-Jitsu Submissions

[@kbow57]

I ended up in the crucifix and while doing a live roll. I really wasn’t sure how to submit the guy from there. Thx for this information.

[@nicholasmiller7783]

Eli, you do a fantastic job of seamlessly walking through the moves. Keep up the good work, brother!

[@0hboii13]

Oh haha is that a man named eli

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate that man. Thank you.

[@Dylan-wx7ru]

I've been trying to work the buggy choke move into as many positions as possible, and you just gave me it on the crucifix position! I'm so glad i follow this channel, amazing teaching style, great teqniques, and just such a great place to learn!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate this. Glad it could help. It’s about the only place I can hit a buggy choke remotely at all.

[@Sheahova]

im really great at transitioning to salaverry or crucifix but i’ve been learning to utilize it better and faster this has helped

[@adelaidegrahame9208]

Love love love the sequence. Looking forward to trying all out. Thank you.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

[@Sheahova]

3:25 i have gotten into this position alot and didn’t know what to do when they start countering this helped immensely

[@scottdobbs2595]

Excellent. It gives me a couple of options from the crucifix that I didn't have before.

[@golden_bjj]

Me being just a lil guy, ive been playing with the crucifix a lot lately. These are like you said, sort of unconventional attacks, which is always good lol.. really like that north south setup!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Awesome. Love the crucifix. I’m glad these are useful.

[@aftermath__7060]

hell lot of info into a single video boss !! LOVED it , keep them coming 🔥

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@theenviproject8272]

Crucifix is my primary and most used submission but def the north south choke set up was new to me! Thank you for the post!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad you liked it! Thanks.

[@edwardskrod]

His grimaces are awesome.

[@Sheahova]

the outstretched hand helped me figure out the angle with the trap grab

[@mayatiita1]

That north south choke at the end was very cool 😎 👍🏻 Thanks 🙏🏻

[@eljefito94]

i love the cricifix position, really under rated position. I have difficulty getting into the position, but it helps me hold back control against bigger guys so much better instead of going for the back. i do my best to practice getting into the position as often as possible though (until the pandemic came :(

[@christophernoah-sayers2227]

Love the crucifix and I haven’t seen a lot of these transitions and I watch a lot of Marcelo Garcia! Great stuff. A move you can add, and I can think of a lot, is when they are turtles in the crucifix and the grab around your leg nearest their legs and you do a forward roll putting your non choking arm across their chest to the armpit as you roll to get a slick kimura. You can also get this from laying in the crucifix on your back and they reach around the same leg you can sit up and get your arm across their chest to prevent sitting up.

[@ruechel]

AMAZING options here. Thank you professor.

[@richardcurry4202]

Hey Eli just wanted to tell you thanks for all of your videos brother they always help me out

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That means so much to me. Thank you. I appreciate it very much.

[@FatTheChef]

Love it. Got to crucifix in a scramble a couple of times but had no idea how to progress so had to let it go.

[@Havøc_Varangian]

I wish they would lay still for me like that haha 😆 great instructional video my man! This helps us tremendously and I shared this with a few of my sparring partners and I quickly realized I shouldn't have done that haha 😆 10/10 rating for the video sir. Thank you for the information, I will definitely be trying this on my wife tonight.

My new favorite sneaky position

[@Sheahova]

usually if im winning the ground game i end up at the end eventually but its nice to know the transition submissions

[@stansimp838]

Got my first open matt tap out using this.

[@theinsanepouncer]

Dope 😎 options 💪🏻😤

[@Sheahova]

4:10 is also helpful for counter rotation

[@JEDIAL9]

Once I get that one leg, I am in deep half guard to which I always get out. I have three ways of escaping once you give me that leg. My three variant no-gi, deep half guard sweeps are in full effect, bruh! Thanks for the cool crucifix moves though!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I definitely agree that deep half is close. The person on the back has to watch out to keep it shut down for sure.

[@JEDIAL9]

@@KnightJiuJitsu I had a boy who was so flexible and athletic that from 100% crucifix lockdown or Salisbury position that he could backflip out. *_Complete Mind Blown!_*

[@FatesHandler]

Interesting. I'm gonna try this if they become available next time I'm rolling

[@counterhit121]

Nice tech, thanks Eli. We had a debate about this a couple weeks ago and was wondering your thoughts on the matter-- is the crucifix a dominant enough position that it deserves to be awarded points in competition?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s definitely a super dominant position. But they are so picky about back positions in competition, that I don’t know. If you can’t get points for a body triangle then I would say probably not for crucifix either.

[@counterhit121]

@@KnightJiuJitsu I hear you, but let's say you made the rules. There's no "they" or you are "they." Points for crucifix then or nah?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

If I were making the rules then yes. Positional control based off of controlling the hips and shoulders of the opponent in a dominant way would be sufficient in my opinion, so the crucifix would definitely meet that criteria.

[@JasonSun386]

Thank you for sharing. One note is that it’s kind of hard to see when both wearing black. Black on black contrast is a little hard to tell what’s what.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Sounds racist 😂

[@dtikvxcdgjbv7975]

Hi! Had a question, was the hold that Gary goodridge did back then a different one? Or is that one outdated and this is a more effective way? Thanks!

[@kevingallo9954]

My daughter 15yr is a white belt. She has been doing BJJ since May of this year. She is very small about 5'0 155lbs. She had her 1st BJJ tournament last weekend and got manhandled. She only faced boys and they had about 11 to 13 inches on her. She wants to do another tournament next month. How can I help her prepare if she ends up in the same situation?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s a hard situation to prepare for. To give away that much size and strength she would need to be exponentially more technical than them. It would be better, in my opinion, to avoid small tournaments where that type of grouping is more likely to happen. Larger tournaments are more likely to have some females her size for her to compete against.

[@barbarianorc8301]

Yes I have a question, same one I've asked twice I think before, can you review how to escape the crucifix.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Sorry I haven’t gotten around to that one yet.
