3 great entry points into submission in BJJ

Here are 3 great entry points into submission. The Ashi garami entry into all types of leglocks and heel hooks. Another is the Front headlock. In addition, the Kimura and Kimura trap psotion can be dangerous. Theart of Jiu-Jitsu has a dizzying array of moves, tactics, principles and in the wild scrambles of sparring or competition, it can be very difficult to remember what to do. Whenever confusion reigns, just simplify your mind. If you are searching for submission in a dynamic and chaotic situation, focus on the three best entries and most accessible entry points that will give you a tight hold on even a very challenging opponent and get you in a position to start threatening submissions. here at Savarese BJJ Academy (www.njbjj.com), we focus on these are the 3 previously mentioned, the ASHI GARAMI, KIMURA and FRONT HEADLOCK positions. Ashi garami will open up a vast number of sweeps, reversals and leg lock submissions. It has been one of the most popular entries on the no-gi submission circuit over the last 5 years. Kimura will open up submissions via Kimura itself, plus arm locks, triangles and sweeps/takedowns. The front headlock will give you guillotines, Darce chokes, Anaconda chokes (among others) and transitions to the back along with many takedowns. In a chaotic and confusing scramble, stay focused on these three control grips. They are almost always available at some point, and will get on the short cut to submission! Here, Professor Lovato uses the Kimura to finish the very tough Ricardo Demente in a match. You see the Kumra trap even being used more often in MMA events across the world in such organizations as UFC, Bellator and One Fighting Championship in Asia. Try these entries and watch and see the improvement in your game.
