Not to Contradict Myself, but....

In my previous post, I mentioned that subissions do not work without positional control. That was PARTIALLY correct on my part. There are a few submissions that work without control and they include the Guillotine, the bent armlock and the toe hold. Because these particular submissions have th ability to manipulate the body (you can drag someone around with a guillotine, the bent armlock can be used to throw someone, etc) they can be slapped on without solid control and successfully performed. HOWEVER...that does not mean they are easy to use. There is a lot of complexity involved as the ability to adjust to the opponent's resistance is paramount to pulling off the moves.


The infamous toehold
