ADVICE

Prioritize Position Before Submission

  • Ensure positional control before applying a submission's force.
  • Focus on minor details like grips and angles first, then apply major force.
INSIGHT

Rushing Submissions Leads to Failure

  • Rushing submissions lowers finishing rates and increases the risk of gassing out.
  • Squeezing too hard prematurely compromises your ability to react if the submission fails.
ADVICE

Submissions as Positions

  • Think of submissions as positions where the opponent's structure is so compromised that they must tap.
  • Progressively break their alignment like a boa constrictor instead of diving for submissions.
