1. An omoplata is a choke.

Explanation

The statement "an omoplata is a choke" is incorrect. An omoplata is actually a submission technique commonly used in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It involves trapping and manipulating the opponent's arm using one's legs to apply pressure on the shoulder joint. While it can be a painful and effective technique, it is not a chokehold.

2. What is not a shoulder lock?

Explanation

The armbar is not a shoulder lock because it primarily targets the elbow joint rather than the shoulder. In an armbar, the attacker applies pressure on the opponent's extended arm by hyperextending or hyperrotating the elbow joint, causing pain or potential injury. In contrast, shoulder locks like the Americana, Kimura, and Omoplata target the shoulder joint by applying pressure or leverage to immobilize or manipulate the shoulder, resulting in pain or submission.

Explanation

A kneebar does not put torque on your ankle. A kneebar is a submission technique in martial arts that involves applying pressure to the knee joint by using the legs and hips. It targets the ligaments and tendons around the knee, not the ankle. Therefore, the statement is false.

Explanation

The correct answer is kimura because when you chicken wing your opponent's arm and apply torque to their shoulder, it is a submission move commonly known as the kimura. This move involves gripping the opponent's wrist, rotating their arm, and applying pressure on the shoulder joint, which can cause immense pain and potentially force them to tap out.

6. A gogoplata is a choke.

Explanation

A gogoplata is a type of submission move in martial arts, specifically Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It involves using one's own leg to apply pressure to an opponent's throat, causing them to submit or lose consciousness. Therefore, it can be classified as a chokehold.

Submit
7. A triangle choke is a form of ...

Explanation

A triangle choke is a type of submission hold used in martial arts, particularly Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It involves trapping an opponent's head and arm between the legs in a triangular position, putting pressure on the carotid arteries and restricting blood flow to the brain. This leads to unconsciousness if not released. Therefore, a triangle choke is considered a blood choke, as it cuts off the blood supply to the brain rather than obstructing the airway like a strangulation choke would. It is different from anaconda choke and darce choke, which are variations of front headlock submissions.

Submit
8. A heel hook puts torque on your knee.

Explanation

A heel hook is a submission technique commonly used in grappling sports, such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It involves applying pressure and torque on the opponent's knee joint by hooking the heel and twisting it inwards. This puts significant stress on the knee, potentially causing injury or damage to the ligaments and structures surrounding the joint. Therefore, the statement that a heel hook puts torque on your knee is true.

9. What are the three pillars of jiu jitsu?

Explanation

The three pillars of jiu jitsu are the armbar, triangle, and omoplata. These are fundamental techniques that are commonly used in jiu jitsu. The armbar involves hyperextending the opponent's arm, the triangle involves trapping the opponent's head and arm between the practitioner's legs, and the omoplata involves controlling the opponent's shoulder joint. These techniques are essential for both offense and defense in jiu jitsu and are foundational to the practice of the martial art.

Submit
10. A guillotine choke is a blood choke.

Explanation

A guillotine choke is not a blood choke. It is a type of chokehold that primarily targets the trachea, cutting off the air supply rather than the blood flow. While it can cause some restriction of blood flow, it is not primarily a blood choke.

Submit
11. Which posistion can you not get a kneebar from?

Explanation

In the bottom mount position, the person on top has full control over the person on the bottom. This control allows them to prevent the person on the bottom from being able to secure a kneebar submission. A kneebar requires the person applying the submission to control their opponent's leg and apply pressure on the knee joint, which is not possible from the bottom mount position. Therefore, it is not possible to get a kneebar from the bottom mount position.

Submit
12. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses primarily on ground fighting and submission holds.

Explanation

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that emphasizes ground fighting and submission holds. It teaches techniques for controlling and submitting opponents using joint locks and chokeholds, making it highly effective in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions. BJJ practitioners often focus on grappling, positional control, and leveraging technique over brute strength to overcome opponents.
