Submission Chains

Submission chains link one attack to another, creating continuous threat and increasing the likelihood of finishing the opponent. If a primary submission is defended, the practitioner flows seamlessly into a secondary or tertiary option.

Chains often follow predictable biomechanical or positional patterns, such as triangle to armbar or Kimura to wrist lock. Mastery of submission chains emphasizes adaptability, fluidity, and anticipation, forcing opponents to respond continuously while keeping them off-balance and reactive.
