What is the one submission you hit more than anything else, and why does it keep working?

Paper cutter. Sometime from stacked pressure passing, but 90% it’s from north-south setup. (As a big guy, I love to lay plenty of shoulder pressure into their chest)

Armbar, hands down. Tapped to it multiple times in my very first class, it was my first-ever competition submission (hit it from guard while down on points), and now I'm starting to get it consistently from S-mount too. Been a staple the whole way through.

Mount gets harder with heavy people hard to escape

The good ol’ RNC. The only system that I am confident in is back control. The hard part for me right now is getting to the back, but once I’m there, I’m usually quite consistent in getting the RNC.

The Americana. For years I've heard how it's such a white belt move and doesn't work at the higher levels and for years I've continued to hit them consistently on people of a range of skills and experience levels.

If you do the basic day one technique to secure it then it is far too easy to escape but if you use more nuanced setups and grip modifications there's zero reason they can't be hit consistently. I'll often get it from mount or a "high point" side control taking their arm from way above their head and using the urge for them to pull their arm back down to their ribs to assemble and finish the Americana quickly and using their own arm power against them.

The Guillotine. I can just see it every time my partners expose their neck when defending or attacking. I don't really have many setups for it; it is more of a move I do when my opponent reacts to a previous move. Maybe I should work on my setups more

Darce. Just feels right. Think there's been more than one occasion where I've gone for it where I shouldn't have, but it's still fun to play about with things.

I do love Ezekiels as well!

I hit a nogi baseball choke from side control in the gi all day long, no one sees it coming.
