Ground
Submissions, positional advancement, ground-and-pound.
Striking from a dominant top position — guard, half-guard, side control, mount, or back. The technique that closed the gap between grappling-only and striking-only fighters.
The act of getting past an opponent's legs from inside the guard to a more dominant ground position — side control, mount, or back.
A shoulder lock attacking the rotator cuff. Named after Masahiko Kimura, who broke Helio Gracie's arm with it in 1951.
The signature back-mount finish. Forearm across the front of the neck, figure-four lock, compression of the carotid arteries.
A blood choke from guard — the attacker triangles their legs around the opponent's neck and one arm, compressing the carotid against the opponent's own shoulder.
