The crucifix is one of the strongest positions in jiu jitsu.
If you take a trip down memory lane, I’m sure you can remember that time you got trapped in the crucifix. It doesn’t feel great, doesn’t it? Your opponent is behind you, both your arms are trapped, your neck is exposed, and no matter what you do, it feels like you just can’t get out. Eventually, you get choked so you awkwardly tap your feet on the mat as a sign of “let me go, bro”. Now, you want to learn how to master the crucifix to execute people like this too… don’t you?
You can see them, but they can’t see you.
Many think of the crucifix as a submission and not a position of ultimate control. Just like the back, mount, and side control, the crucifix works the same. It is time you learn the true power of the crucifix and use it for what it is… just another powerful position where you can dismantle your opponent, and crush their soul by slowly cooking them into a submission of your choice. Extremely satisfying.
Mastering the crucifix.
Inside this course, crucifix scientist Tameem Hamoui takes you on a tour where you learn how to make the crucifix your move, the move you can get to from everywhere, and the move you can submit anyone from once you get to it. You will learn all the ins and outs of the position, how to get to the crucifix from many different situations, how to control and counter all major crucifix escapes, how to finish your opponent from the crucifix, and much more.
This is as close as we get to a Baret instructional and Tameem's own take on the position adds even more options for us crucifixion lovers.
