Category: Submissions, Technique

I got a question from a Lanky BJJ White Belt who is looking to implement his 1st submission option into his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game.

He says he’s 6’3 175lbs and is able to survive on the mat and now wants to start working towards being able to submit people.

In this video I share my idea on the fact that your anatomy is going to play a huge role in your BJJ game.

You see in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Our body will often dictate some of the techniques we tend to favor early on.

For me as a White Belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu. I LOVED Kimuras. I have somewhat short arms for my height and I am strong. So I can lock up the position very effectively.

In this video my partner is Chad, who has a nasty Triangle Choke game.

And he naturally favored Triangles and Armbars from the guard from the start of his BJJ training when he was just one of the beginners in our classes.

So my answer is modeled off of Chad and I try to show a different type of Triangle Choke setup that I haven’t demonstrated on the channel yet.

If you’re a lanky long White Belt, I hope this video is useful for you in finding your initial submission attack. And more than likely you’ll favor the Full Guard as your main platform for attack.

Thanks for watching!
