The turtle cradle attacks a turtled opponent by threading the arms around both the head and one leg, linking the hands to fold the opponent out of their protective shell. [1] The attacker approaches f...

Spine compression locks from the clinch apply axial or lateral compression to the spinal column while standing in a clinch position. [1,2] The attacker uses body lock, overhook, or head control to fol...

Standard Stacking drives the defender's weight forward by standing up and driving the hips into the attacker, folding them in half while maintaining grip on the trapped arm. [1] The defender posts on ...

The Liver Kick targets the right side of the opponent's body at the level of the floating ribs, aiming to impact the liver — an organ highly sensitive to blunt trauma that, when struck cleanly, produc...

The cradle neck crank combines a wrestling cradle — where the attacker links the opponent's head and leg together — with cervical flexion pressure. [1,2,3] The attacker clasps hands connecting the hea...

The Half Stack Pass combines stacking pressure with half guard passing, using the opponent's folded position to create space to extract the trapped leg. [1]

The gooseneck wrist lock from guard is applied by the bottom player who traps the opponent's hand and bends the wrist into flexion while simultaneously curling the fingers, creating the distinctive cu...

The arm-drag wrist lock applies wrist flexion — bending the wrist toward the inner forearm — using an arm-drag grip as the controlling mechanism. [1,2] The attacker uses a standard arm-drag motion to ...

Compression locks are submission techniques that crush muscle tissue against bone, causing intense pain through deep tissue compression rather than joint hyperextension or vascular restriction. [7] Th...

Arm compression techniques (biceps slicers and forearm crushes) work by trapping the opponent's arm over a fulcrum — typically the attacker's wrist, forearm, or shin — and forcing the arm to fold, cru...

The calf slicer (also called calf crush or calf compression) works by placing a hard fulcrum — typically the shin or forearm — behind the opponent's knee and folding the lower leg back, crushing the c...

Calf slicers from guard are applied when the bottom player catches the opponent's leg during guard passing attempts, threading a shin behind the knee and folding the calf. [1,2] Common entries include...

The standard calf slicer (also called calf crusher or calf lock) is a compression lock that wedges the attacker's shin or forearm behind the opponent's knee while folding the lower leg over it, crushi...

The Standard Bicep Slicer Defence addresses the bicep crush by immediately working to extend the arm or reposition the fulcrum point before compressive pressure damages the muscle tissue. [1] The defe...

The spladle is a wrestling pinning combination and submission where the attacker traps and splits the opponent's legs (forcing them toward a split position) while controlling from behind, creating ext...

The Standard Calf Slicer Defence works to extend the leg and remove the knee from the folded position that creates the compression. [1] The defender pushes against the attacker's leg or hip to create ...

Spine compression locks apply axial compression or stacking force to the vertebral column, compressing the intervertebral discs and stressing the spinal ligaments. [1] Common examples include the Bost...

The Stack Pass is a pressure-based guard pass where the passer drives the opponent's legs over their head by walking forward with chest pressure, compressing the guard player's spine until their hips ...
