If you do jiu jitsu, you need to submit people. It is the most important separation we have from all other grappling arts. We only have skills from our back because there is no such thing as a pin in what we do. Therefore, I can appreciate that you can pin someone or hold them to you, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t submit them, finish them, kill them. Having good position will help your submissions, but eventually it must transfer over and be the most developed skill set you have. It is the separator of BJJ from all other grappling styles, because without that lack of pinning and relative lack of limitations surrounding what can be attacked and how, jiu jitsu would not matter or survive. Be a submission hunter, it’s why you do this.
