Welcome back, to another episode of Jiu Jitsu Skool. I'm your host, Professor Nakamoto. Today, we're diving into insights from 'BJJ Mental Models,' Episode 5: 'Finishing Mechanics,' where Steve and Matt Kwan discuss various vital concepts in submitting your opponent. Let's break it down.
Firstly, Steve and Matt emphasize the importance of maintaining and improving your position rather than risking it for submissions. Always aim to disrupt your opponent's posture and alignment to gain control.
Choking Mechanics: When it comes to chokes, it's not just about brute strength. The key is to break the opponent's alignment. Use your body mechanics, not just your arms, to apply chokes effectively. This ensures you're efficiently applying the technique without expending excessive energy.
Joint Locks: Next, they cover joint locks. Whether linear, rotational, or compression, understanding the mechanics is crucial. For example, when applying an arm bar, use your core, not just your arms, to generate force. Establishing proper positional dominance is vital before any submission attempt.
Lever and Wedge Control: Lever and wedge control play a significant role in submissions. Wedges help isolate joints, making it easier to apply pressure. Techniques like the Kimura or toe hold use rotational control and require involvement of the entire body to maximize torque and effectiveness.
Hygiene and Safety: A crucial aspect often overlooked is hygiene. The Kwans stress immediate showering after training, using antibacterial soap, and keeping your training gear clean to prevent infections and diseases.
Training Respectfully: In the training environment, it's essential to apply submissions carefully and respectfully. Avoid techniques that can cause long-term damage without mutual consent. Always be mindful of your partner’s well-being.
In conclusion, control is king in jiu jitsu. Focus on breaking your opponent's alignment, using body mechanics, and maintaining hygiene. Train responsibly and always prioritize safety and respect.
