The First Five Submissions You Need To Know | Jiu-Jitsu Basics

More detailed instruction at Patreon.com/KnightJiuJitsu
It is hard to narrow down, but these are, in my opinion, the first five submissions you should learn in Jiu-Jitsu. I based this on the criteria of versatility, efficiency, mechanics and principles. There are so many important considerations to make in regard to position and setup, but it is imperative you understand how these particular techniques work.
Let me know what your top five would be, and if you have any questions you think I might be able to help with. I really appreciate you watching, liking and subscribing!

This might be the most succinct and helpful video I've seen yet for getting started and practicing submission fundamentals. As a white belt, BJJ can be overwhelming with the amount of information to digest. Its also what makes it so beautiful. But as a beginner, it's important to have someone simplify where to start and what to pay attention to. Thanks for your breakdown and walkthrough of these essential moves!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Wow! I really appreciate that comment! Thank you.

As for the striking art, either muay thai or boxing would be great, personally I just prefer boxing

[@MrKirmor]

I saw this tecnique on kung Fu 🐼

[@911shan]

It depends, I would also add in Wrestling. So Wrestling + Jiu-Jitsu + Muay Thai = Deadly fighter. Wrestling to defend against takedowns and to initiate and complete takedowns. Jiu-Jitsu for all the ground game, defending against certain positions and chokes and locks while also trying to gain position and put your opponent in one. Muay Thai for deadly fists, elbows, knees and feet and for understanding how to defend and fight in the clinch. And obviously clinch takedowns add in to wrestling as well.

[@Mason-is4mr]

shan_rocks Judo is much more helpful on takedowns than wrestling... a pro wrestler and pro judo fighter with same build will result in the wrestler getting tossed like a rag doll. Wrestling is good for control, but if you’re talking about throwing and countering throws, judo will win,

And after watching this video I am super excited to be able to implement these 5 submissions. It’s so cool how you can try one submission, get defended and then use that to open up another submission. Thanks for the video

[@Tom_Framnes]

In my utmost humble opinion. “ Advanced are basics done correct” This is why truly appreciate your take on how you teach BJJ, as you make the curriculum extremely relatable, even to those who are just starting to venture into the world of grappling as a whole, and also delve into the self protection context of how to appropriately apply the art. Your videos have aided me tremendously as you point out not only the techniques “ as is” but you always give away those extremely important snippets of vital information to increase the efficacy of said techniques even further. Ie “ put his pinky to his other ear” true gold right there 🤣😄👍🏻 Many teachers” show and tell” but a sign of a true teacher is that he “ shares and expounds upon” not only knowing the why, but the how and the reason for the why. And that is the mark of experience and comprehension, not only knowing and doing. Appreciations for sharing your comprehended knowledge with all of us. Always looking forward to learn more from you sir. 😃 Sincere regards. Fellow martial brother. Tom Framnes. Norway
