Multiple attacks help you finish in BJJ

Multiple attacks help you finish in BJJ. Don’t just attack the joint, attack their balance at the same time. I’m positive in your training sessions many times you have had the frustrating experience of locking on a nice submission hold and having your opponent hold a strong defensive posture and then work his way free of the hold. Most submission defense against submission holds applied from bottom position begin with 2 things: posture and base.  So, it is for that reason that whenever possible, go beyond just attacking with the submission hold. So, and this is especially relevant,  – attack your opponent’s balance, posture and base at the same time! This severely hampers their defense. Here, our student Ariana is not only attacking a arm-in guillotine, but w/ the guillotine, she is control his posture by controlling the head,  she has his head in her armpit to stop him from freeing and her leg around his back to prevent a roll through. Therefore, note how she goes the extra distance to break her opponents balance as well – immediately making escape more difficult leaving no room for an escape as a bonus. Next time you are locked into an arm bar, triangle, leg lock or whatever from bottom position, make a simultaneous attack on your opponents balance and you will soon find that the balance attack makes the submission attacks much more successful.
