Welcome to Submission as Position! This is our second audio course with Rob Biernacki from Island Top Team and BJJ Concepts. If you're not familiar with Rob, you should definitely check out our "Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles" audio course with him on BJJ Mental Models Premium.

In this series, Rob explores the idea of "submission as position." This is a mindset where you play submissions not just as a potential finish, but also as a position in and of itself, with its own control points, sweeps, and transitions.

This audio course runs approximately 6 hours across 6 episodes.

Contents include:

Ep. 1: Submission Control Concepts
In this first episode, Rob introduces the "submission as position" concept and provides a high-level summary of what to expect in this series.

Ep. 2: Kimura Control
In the second episode in our Submission as Position series, Rob Biernacki covers the most well-known and probably most commonly used example of this concept: Kimura control, also known as the Kimura Trap.

Ep. 3: Armbar Control
In the third episode of our Submission as Position series, Rob Biernacki explains how the armbar - one of the most common and versatile submissions in Jiu-Jitsu - can also be played as a position.

Ep. 4: Triangle Control
In the fourth episode of our Submission as Position series, Rob Biernacki explains how the triangle choke from the guard can be played as a position. This is a great conversation because difficulty finishing the triangle from guard is such a common problem.

Ep. 5: Guillotine Control
In the fifth episode of our Submission as Position series, Rob Biernacki brings the "submission as position" mindset to the guillotine and related chokes. Front chokes like the guillotine make for excellent control because they force your opponent to defend with their hands, which opens up excellent opportunities for positional advancement.

Ep. 6: Omoplata Control
In the sixth and final episode of our Submission as Position series, Rob Biernacki breaks down the omoplata. To truly maximize your use of the omoplata, you need to start thinking of it as a position. It's one of the most powerful sweeping setups from the guard.
