The Benefits of Combining Submission Techniques

Combining different submission techniques can enhance their effectiveness during Brazilian jiu-jitsu practice. Using multiple mechanics helps to minimize an opponent’s escape options, making it harder for them to resist submission attempts. For example, adjusting the angle when performing an arm bar by incorporating a slight twist can significantly improve its effectiveness. This method reduces the leverage the opponent has through their arm, allowing for a stronger submission hold.
