Favorite joint lock submission

[tselec]

I find that I do the "standard" kata-gatame (shoulder hold) - the person could be facing the ceiling or facing the mat - with a cable grip most of the time.

it can be difficult to submit a bigger guy from kata-gatame, so I usually move into kesa (scarf hold), tate (top mount) or yoko (side control) -- all done with a ude-hishigi/ude-garami (straight or bent arm locks) or jime (choke).

if s/he turns away from me, I'd go into a supine back ride choke or a back ride with a RNC while making sure I get my leg hooks in. it is also possible to go into a juji (armbar), but it's relatively not as easy as, say, going into a kesa.

I am a big fan of the ashi-sankaku-garami (omoplata to bjj peeps), as it can be applied from full and half guard with the deception of a sweep that actually leads into a lock.

Second to this the standard juju-gatame. Can be applied from standing, mount or half mount, side control, or full guard. Brilliantly versatile, yet so many nuances that make it a standout lock.

Juji-Gatame from the guard.

Juji-Gatame from the guard.

For those of us who don't do Japanese names what would that translate to? Just curious.

I might be wrong but I believe it's the classic arm bar from guard
