Controlled submission or an injury waiting to happen? The Kesa-Gatame Americana with the leg might look cool in slow motion, but it is notorious for causing injuries, especially in beginner divisions. Because people often rip their hip up too quickly without giving their opponent a chance to react, it can easily pop a shoulder. If you find yourself trapped in this position with a leg over your wrist, do yourself a favor and tap right away to stay safe on the mats. #jiujitsu #combatsports #martialarts
