Summary
I ranked 66 submissions in Jiu-Jitsu from F Tier to SS Tier (completely useless to absolutely unstoppable) Some of these finishes are guaranteed taps at the highest levels of grappling. Others… shouldn’t even be taught. In this video I break down the most effective submissions in jiu jitsu, the most overrated techniques in grappling, and the finishes that still dominate modern gi, no-gi, and mma. ⚠️ Fair warning: This list is going to make some people angry.
