How Trigger Positions in Jiu-Jitsu Make Your Submissions Fast and Instinctive

Trigger positions make it easy for you to know when it’s time to attack in jiu-jitsu. From https://www.grapplearts.com/omoplata here’s an explanation of the trigger position concept and examples including the armbar, the triangle choke, and the omoplata armlock.

  • It’s a bit like doing a hammer lock with his leg, he could also go for a kimura aswell. It’s also a bit like the trigger position for a roll to escape full mount is having their hands on the floor like that or on your chest (so you can trap and roll)

  • Awesome 👏, Stephan & Ritchie – I want to see the next step, you intentionally get into a trigger position to entice a submission attempt so you can counter it…maybe you give the armbar, escape it & simultaneously pass guard, etc.
