[@ariannemartell5261]

For me (blue belt), high elbow arm-out guillotine is S tier. I'm a lot smaller than most of the people I roll with, which ends up being a good thing for this style of guillotine: I'm quick enough and have small enough arms to get all the way around the head quickly, and my thin arms/sharp forearms make it an instant tap if I get it fully locked in. It's my #1 submission in nogi by a lot.

[@outis439-A]

I feel like you get better leverage with guillotine with a figure four lock on the neck

[@SubFlow22]

This is super cool. As an avid jits guy and gamer, I love this tier list format!

[@uke_mike]

👊

[@calebvinson8703]

Agreed. Trying to find the meta.

[@LeviPage]

For the kesa move, it's a chest compression. You crush their chest and they can't breathe. I do it, but I also grab the leg so maybe there are variations.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Oh interesting, that makes sense now. I really enjoy hitting them. Just feels good lol

[@danielsiriphongs]

Agreed. It’s like drowning.

[@prvtthd401]

I can confirm. Judokas tend to be good at this.

[@adamabbas1487]

You are essentially not allowing them to expand their thorax. You need those pressure changes to breathe. So done correctly, the opponent can't breathe in or out.

[@adelmasto]

It’s also called a scarfhold

[@danielsiriphongs]

Tarikoplata is A-Tier for me. Being smaller than most people I roll with, I don’t always have the strength to break their kimura defense. Tarikoplata brings my legs into the equation.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

That's really interesting. I need to spend so more time with them. Maybe I gave up too soon making them a part of my game. Glad you're having success with them 👊

[@danielsiriphongs]

@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu it is especially useful when folks hunker down to resist the kimura. That’s actually what I want. I usually get them from a top side (dorsal) kimura, but they can be locked up from bottom position (Tarik Hopstock gets them from there often). Gi friction makes them so brutal. Tarik has some good videos on his KZbin channel.

[@kristofferh2312]

I agree on the Tarikoplata, definately a strong set up both nogi and gi, for those who are stubborn with the kimura defence. Btw it also works well from the Choi-bar setup entry.

[@danielsiriphongs]

@@kristofferh2312 yes! Another great entry.

[@djordjemilojevic3614]

@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu You should definitely! You also have Gordon doing it in some competition...Tarikoplata takes strength out of kimura. Works amazing when you have kimura grip and opponent starts turning to turtle, very easy to get from that position.

[@jeremyyap1714]

One of my seniors used to setup the nogi baseball bat choke from side control but instead of going for the choke, they'd go for the sternum crusher with their elbow. Most painful submission I've ever felt.

[@RyderKnightly]

Yeah thats the Fishermans Basket. It's old school catch wrestling. The idea is every time you breathe out they squeeze down on the sub and it stops you breathing in. It is painful, but its basically a choke.

If i had a nickle for every time i successfully hit an omoplata during a live round, id have 0 nickles.

[@Bronsonguthry]

Buggy choke is D tier for me. It's a sick submission that catches a lot of people off guard but it becomes pretty low percentage when people are wise to it. That and the fact it comes from a bad position for you and you need very good mobility to pull it off successfully

[@Monteze1876]

Agree, I personally cannot place anything that is so dependent on physical attribute higher than D, mayyyybe low C. You can show anyone an RNC and most can get an arm around a neck and squeeze to finish. Probably like high 90% of people can do it. But a buggy? How many can set them up? Much less finish them like you said.

[@SerafRhayn]

Exactly! Just stick a knee/elbow in the guts and you’re safe

I literally tried to hold out as long as i could, i was 155 and shredded so I thought i could flex enough to defend but man for about 20 min i thought I’d be shittin blood lol

[@JaeEnnen]

I didn't even realize until the video that I had the option to tap to that...I just figured it was the natural pain of being in a bad jiu jitsu position...

[@ByronC900]

@@JaeEnnen Professor Jordan may disagree, but I encourage you to tap to pain early as you're learning. Your body is telling you something is wrong. If you're not sure, TAP, then just ask a coach after a roll what was going on.

It's hard to tell in how much trouble you really are. Typically I just tap when I'm afraid of spitting out my last meal.

Great video! Check out Josh Barnett’s can opener video though. He stacks em up before grabbing the head, then rocks back with head controlled. Makes it way harder to defend than just reaching for their head and trying to use the strength of your arms to crunch their head up.

[@1lovelucas]

Jordan with your point on ankle locks, you would have to put armbars in the same category. People let their arm break/hyper extend to get a late escape and keep going

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

That's true but I think that's moreso in high level comp. Most tournaments people are more reasonable with their elbows rather than their ankles I've found at least.

[@kradoste6268]

Id argue the arm is way bigger than the ankle which helps with leverage maybe? But I do get more ankle locks then armbars so I dunno its a good argument to have

[@simmme]

For me the no gi baseball choke is way better. As a relatively fresh blue belt I have tapped whites, blues and even purple belts with it. I've been pretty close with a black belt who defended well and got saved by the bell, but to his defense he basically gave me side mount to work from there. For me it is a sneaky submission I get from top side or from bottom half guard as they pass my guard. For me it is probably B tier.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Nice man I'm glad you're having some success with it. Sometimes what I consider to be niche submissions, work really good for certain people. It's definitely a cool sub!

Kesa gatame chest compression has a technical name and a colloquial name: diaphragm compression choke, fat man choke. Not a neck crank or a spine crank if done right, and in fact putting excessive pressure on the neck and spine will reduce the amount of force you can push down into their chest.

I would try and focus on one area and a few techniques within it at a time. Practice with a partner if you can and live drill too. And most importantly don't give up on the technique if it's not working. Keep figuring out what adjustments need to be made.

[@Pinpadprompts]

Just attempt d'arce chokes until you get them. Disregard all other submissions.

[@justaname935]

can you please please talk about which guards are less useful for mma? And the best ways to get back up without walking in mma?

[@blakemcmahan3960]

This is such great content, love it! Just started my podcast on Spotify hopefully moving to KZbin soon

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

Thank you! What's your podcast called? I'll check it out.

[@blakemcmahan3960]

@@JordanTeachesJiujitsu it’s called Constant Progression. It’s about becoming better as a human, how to impact others, and instill change! Nothin on jiu jitsu yet! Thanks for the support bro!

[@DrewDarce]

I love the palpable discomfort at 24:55 lol

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

😅

Haha 🤢

Havent watched the entire video yet, but for me triangle should defenitely on top. So many variations and room for error (I might be biased with my long legs though). Kimura, rnc and armbar should also be s-tier imo. For me personally the north-south choke is the worst, I can never seem to finish this one properly.

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

I agree on the the north south choke. Super overrated. Triangle is definitely top tier!

[@uke_mike]

Some ppl have mastered NSC like Marcelo, i guess it would depend on your anatomy and hours put in to it.

[@rollinOnCode]

idk the guillotine without arm may still be good control for transitions for guard passing and getting past half guard

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

That's true. There's definitely a place for it. Maybe I'm just an arm in snob haha

@45:06 is Kesa Gatame

[@JordanTeachesJiujitsu]

That's the position but we were wondering about the submission 🙂

[@anewperspective247]

The position applied correctly is a submission too. Also know as Scarf hold. I submit dudes with it all the time. It’s the move I use to humiliate bigger bros. Check Josh Barnett.
