Top 3 Submissions for BJJ: The Fundamental attacks you need to be effective.

[@Sage_6reen]

Watching you guys try to figure out the difference between a strangle and a choke was the best part lol. A strangle attacks blood flow. Choke attacks air supply. In jits ideally it's always a strangle so choke is just less than accurate and Danaher is a scholar

[@AwardWinningActorMichaelP-nis]

Choking happens from inside the throat like food debris, strangling occurs outside the throat.

My coach has said many times that the top 3 we need to master are the guillotine, triangle, and RNC. I suspect it's because of such a wide application of them. You've got a sub from Standing/Top (guillotine), from Bottom (triangle), and from the Back (RNC). And they all work in gi, nogi, and self defense. Then again, I'm just a dumbass white belt, so I could be WAY off the mark here.

[@user-nk3re4dj5h]

Armbars are personally last on my list unless it's a competition setting as a last ditch effort. In Training, everyone sees it coming from a mile away and unless you're injuring partners left and right and falling back on them, there's a certain amount of committment involved in it to catch someone off guard. From a guard if it fails you risk getting your guard passed and from the top if it fails you usually end up in a worse position ie: if it fails from top side control you either end up on your weaker side control side or you lose side control and if it fails from mount you end up on bottom in a guard position. That paired with the fact that they're so easy to escape with the hitchhiker, RNC grip, Stack etc makes it such a gamble in my eyes. There's definitely armbar specialists who have mastered the sub, but there are just so many better attacks/position advancements i'd consider before committing to an armbar.

When the armbar starts to fail…the kimura and tarikoplata/barataplata become readily available

[@metalrobot3000]

Top 3 bjj subs in my opinion rear naked choke , straight arm bar ,and the triangle choke

[@thedarwinist672]

I agree with the skepticism toward the "lion killer" being literal. You can even test it on your house cat: try tickling them or pinning them down, and see if they can't reach you with their back legs. No matter where you are on their body, they can reach you with their back legs, and now you have five meat hook claws tearing your flesh off. That said, there was a hiker in America who killed a mountain lion with a RNC. BUT, it was a 45 lb mountain lion, basically the size of a dog, and he said it was the fight of his life. Now imagine a 600 lb lion. Some can be like 9 feet long, and tigers can be even bigger. It can definitely work against a dog or wolf though, since their legs aren't nearly as threatening. But one bite from a wolf and that bone is gone. There's a reason our ancestors used ranged weapons, like spears, and fought in teams.

Thanks for the video! Great info.

My top 3 submission list is less about what submissions I am good at, and a lot more about what positions I am good at getting to and holding on to. I am a former wrestler and I discovered very early that I can hold people in north/south for days, so a good chunk of my submission game comes from there. (North/south choke, D'arce choke, and several Kimura variations) I can almost always get to the back, but I still suck at holding on to back control against anyone good at escaping it, so it is a real victory when I sub a blue belt from back control. As a matter of fact, the only time I have tapped any of the black belts at my gym (and it's only been once!) was when he went all out for 90 seconds to escape my north/south, and when he finally gassed he had nothing left to stop my paper cutter.

[@trema10871]

Totally agree and would add kimura

[@marcusaurelius841]

Arm triangle better be on this list

[@MoshJunkie426]

Very first sub I learned in detail and still the sub I hit the most in comps and open roll

[@Sage_6reen]

I was surprised it wasn't but I suppose it's not as popular in gi

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Unfortunately not...

[@morganfrazer158]

Armbar number one. No question

[@AwardWinningActorMichaelP-nis]

Rogan's go to move. Also what destroyed his neck & took him out of the game.

[@66killen6]

2:45 we have a couple guys that just won't tap to legs. I'll put on a toe hold have it perfect to were it stops moving and if I'd go any further it'd break or tear something so I'll transition to something else same with heal hooks same guy. I'll tell after the roll that he need to tap those because some won't let it go,. he usually just shrugs. White belt college wrestler😂

[@reiniervanramshorst1031]

I went to a lot of comps as a white and blue belt and almost all my wins were loop chokes 😂 I'm learning better guillotines now, they really do seem underrated

[@abelardocortez6620]

As a lowly blue belt. Ima say, triangle, arm triangle, and RNC...

[@ziarahman3406]

Triangle my favourite submission and I’ve got extremely short legs it’s not just for the long boys

[@morechadmorestacy71]

My first sub ever was guillotine at my second training and I did it twice that session.😂

[@bthrb4u918]

I'd trade the arm bar for a triangle, failing an arm bar can you in a less advantageous position vs a failed triangle.

[@morganfrazer158]

Respectfully, thats a you problem. Armbar is the best you should never lose it or end up in bottom position

[@AG-tg2em]

in 2019 a runner choked a lion to death near Fort Collins Colorado.

[@alex.sand1r]

Triangles all day for me! 😅

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Have you got them long daddy legs?

[@derekrotondo8315]

You heavyweights man... Featherweights exist and we have feelings too. Triangles, cross collars, and shin slices for days! Jk, cheers from USA

[@bl3iv3s]

I'm a short ass 5ft 6, I keep trying to darce but feel my arms might be too short? What do you think, drop it and move on?

[@jamesn3122]

You might be trying to lock the figure 4 before you've secured the position. You need to breakdown your partner and get that far arm/shoulder folded in before shooting in for the lock

[@bulletproofforbjj]

It's possible but definitely harder for short limb folks. Definitely keep working on your technique but maybe look at some options from there that give you alternatives if it does work.

[@frankmapranny5879]

I am 5ft 6, I face a similar issue and I have transitioned to the Japanese necktie. Try it out, you dont have to get the figure 4

[@Guardsman-sy8qm]

Bicep slicer because goober answers are fun.

[@ChaseThatCoin]

The chances of you getting on a lions back are low but if you get there I think you could put it to sleep, the lion wouldn’t be able to bite or scratch you

[@And-Or101]

It would shake you off and kill you. Come on now.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

My Guy! I thought the same thing! - JT

[@kevinmeaux9143]

1) Cats are boneless. I think it would be able to exorcist it's neck around and bite you. 2) An adult lion weighs like 300-500lb while being lean and probably a better than human strength to weight ratio. I'm not saying there's no adcc champs that couldn't choke out a 600lb version of Bryan Shaw but it sure as hell isn't me. 3) everyone knows that you catch tigers (and presumably lions) by the toe hold

[@user-nr2kb3mw8i]

Call it the mata cacharro from now on lol

[@tomsawyer7429]

Funny how he wanted so badly to believe that a person had strangled an actual lion to death.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

It has to be possible right?? - JT

[@berrymccockiner3492]

lfg boys

[@roddangerousfield1543]

Do Americans pronounce universality differently than our friends down under? 😂

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Yes 😄

[@brandonpemberton5707]

FYI.. big cats were designed 6000 years ago in a day👌 Not over millions of years. We know this by plain observation and certainly recent advances in genetic research/discovery👍 RNC, Head&arm strangles, and Cross Collar

[@relativisticvel]

IRL giraffes kill lions.
