Understanding Clamps in Jiu-Jitsu
Clamps in Jiu-Jitsu involve locking a portion of your opponent's body inside a portion of yours, creating a closed circuit or kinetic chain. For instance, closed guard is an example of a clamp where you prevent your opponent from posturing or escaping. Effective clamps aim at immobilizing or preventing the opponent from escaping a specific position, but size and strength considerations play a crucial role. It is essential that a clamp provides control, as relying on an ineffective clamp can give false confidence in one's technique, potentially leading to vulnerabilities in maintaining control.
