Be The Octopus
We have heard the term, use your limbs. A lot of people only use one limb at a time when they roll, some two. If you are smart you will use four: arms and legs. But I challenge you to go further. Think of your head as an extra limb, your core as another limb, your hips, your neck, your ankles, your chest. Use every part of your body as a limb to submit, suffocate, and dominate your opponent. As they attack you with only a few limbs you will attack them with your whole body. That is what a submission is, attacking one limb with the strength of your whole body. It's a concept to apply more than it is an actual technique.
