The Twister Submission from Side Control

I was first introduced to this technique back in 2002 while training at Chris Brennans Next Generation Jiu Jitsu in Irvine, California.

No matter how many times I got caught in this submission or had it explained to me I could never understand how to do it, it took years for me to figure out how to do it properly and I think that has made me better able to explain it & teach it to my own students. #bjj #melbournemartialarts #brazilianjiujitsu #melbournejiujitsu #bjjmelbourne #jiujitsu #jiujitsu #dkmma #melbournebjj

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
