BJJ Submissions Directory

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu submissions are the culmination of every technique - the moment where technique meets opportunity. Our comprehensive submissions database covers every finishing hold from the fundamental joint locks and chokes to advanced combinations that can turn any position into a victory.

Joint Locks: Precision and Leverage

Joint locks form the foundation of BJJ submissions, using mechanical advantage to create hyperextension or rotation beyond the joint's natural range. From the ubiquitous arm bar to specialized wrist locks and leg attacks, these submissions require precise technique and timing to execute safely and effectively.

Chokeholds: Control and Constriction

Chokeholds target the body's vital pathways, restricting blood flow to the brain or air to the lungs. Whether through neck compression or collar manipulation, these submissions range from the fundamental rear naked choke to advanced gi-based strangulations that can finish from any position.

Building Your Submission Arsenal

Every position in BJJ offers unique submission opportunities, and every submission connects back to fundamental positions. Whether you're drilling isolated techniques or flowing through combinations, understanding these submissions and their positional requirements is essential for developing a complete game that works in competition and self-defense.
