Understanding Rotational Breaks in Jiu-Jitsu
Rotational breaks are defined as submissions that involve twisting a joint rather than pulling it in a straight line. Examples include techniques like the Americana and Kimura for the upper body, and heel hooks for the legs. Unlike linear submissions, which rely on overcoming muscle strength, rotational submissions can create awkward angles that make it harder for the opponent to escape. This concept emphasizes the importance of understanding both internal and external rotations and how they function differently in terms of body alignment and movement.
