Episode 314 - Should You Always Focus On Position Before Submission In BJJ?

From Chewjitsu

On this episode, we answer the question of whether you should always focus on "position before submission" in Jiu-Jitsu.

We discuss getting chokes without solidifying a position, using leg locks, advantageous positions that aren't the "traditional"BJJ positions, the benefits of position before submission for beginners, how submissions are initiated through transitions, how tournament rules dictate the grappling style, a rule that is commonly broken in Jiu-Jitsu, and the importance of being coachable.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
