Your opponent knows how to defend most submissions, so why keep playing that broken record?
There are probably hundreds of submissions in the game of jiu jitsu today, and only about a handful of those are actually legitimate. To make things worse, everyone knows what they are and can see them coming from a mile away. And because they’ve seen them so often, they’ve had more time and experience defending them. New ‘tricks’ don’t last. As you progress in levels on the mat, and your opponents get better and better, you may feel that the only way to catch them with a submission is to find some “new tricks”. But the truth is, while you may get a win here and there with that sneaky new move you found, it won’t be long before your opponent figures it out and you’re back to square one.
But… What if you had more than a new trick?
What if you had a complete system, that could lead your opponent to a devastating submission from a variety of scenarios? Imagine knowing what your opponent’s goals are in each position and being able to take advantage of their intentions to support your own. How would it feel to catch them with a devastating submission they only think they know how to escape: one they’ve seen before, but in reality has absolutely no idea how to defend?
Drag your opponent into deep waters and make them pay with one of jiu jitsu’s most underestimated weapons.
The monoplata is one of jiu jitsu’s most devastating yet underestimated submissions – and that’s something just waiting to be used to your advantage. Because the fewer people playing it means even less know how to defend it. Join IBJJF Nogi World Champion and ADCC bronze medallist Josh Hinger as he reveals the secrets to dragging your opponent into deep waters from a variety of situations and finishing them with his trademark monoplata system.
