This week on GB Technique we are learning some advanced submissions from GB Spring Hill head instructor Prof. Reginaldo Almeida.

ㅤ

As your opponent’s gain experience, it becomes increasingly difficult to catch a submission. The more experienced opponents are not likely to make simple mistakes that expose a submission and they also know the counters to the most common threats.

ㅤ

In a closely contested match, having a lesser known submission could be the difference. These advanced submission variations might give you the advantage in catching your opponent by surprise.
