Sneaky submissions
A very enjoyable and engaging video. The techniques are presented in a simple, clear, and concise way, making them easy to understand and apply. Definitely recommended.
The art of the unexpected.
It completely opened my eyes to attacks I didn't know existed. The variety of entries is insane—catching partners from positions they thought were safe. If your game feels too predictable, this adds the "X-factor" you need.
Excellent
Really enjoyed this video and it was comprehensive. ai didlike videos which spends so long talking and talking without showing us the techniques.

Great instructional

First review I've left
This is fantastic. There are so many finishes here that are strong and also just pop up out of nowhere. They're sneaky for sure. You'll be submitting the heck out of higher belts with these.

Very sneaky subs in this instructional for sure. Your training partners won't see some of these coming!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤗Great Content and great guidance through the techniques
Professor Kaelum Kalista provided submissions devided into three kinds of: 1. Submissions from the guard by baiting your opponent to pass 2. Submissions from the guard straight forward 3. Submissions from side control top and during the transition form side control top to mount. He explains all gross motor key points on point and crucial key details in depth and if needed via zoom view. He also offers tips how to bait and create the reactions you desire. Highly recommend!

Some good stuff on this one
It works!!
First instrucional I brought from this site and im not disappointed, very clear and easy to follow, been hitting some of these techniques In the gym Yaya! Very well done instructional
Response from BJJ FanaticsNice! Congrats! 🔥😎🤗The entries are gold and the techniques work
This instructional is organised around four topics – Gi chokes, armlocks, triangles and offensive submissions. The first three topics are classified as defensive submissions and the final topic is covering submissions where you are in the dominant position. Importantly the entries to the submissions have an element of misdirection or entrapment and hence the description sneaky submissions. The Gi chokes section includes a baseball choke where the opponent is enticed to pass your closed guard, which then enables the full application of the choke; what is described as a fake baseball choke to obscure the entry into a collar choke variant and performed from the closed guard or alternatively when the opponent is enticed to pass your guard; a loop choke that is taught from half guard where again the opponent is enticed to pass your guard and this technique is also taught from closed guard and sit-up guard; a really sneaky loop choke that starts from either a sit-up guard or a half guard where you encourage a known back-taker to pass with the assumption that they will move to your back and their own movement activates the choke; and a strange and sneaky submission called the force choke that utilises the Gi to frame your forearm across the front of their neck to choke the opponent. The armlocks section includes a simple and effective armlock from closed guard when you have moved into what is termed the slip position (i.e. side scissor); an armbar from closed guard where the opponent’s forward arm is controlled, elbow framed and with your same side leg placed over their shoulder, your legs locked and a small bridge is used to achieve the submission; from closed guard an armbar or armlock (i.e 2 techniques) when the opponent defends an armbar; and an armlock when the opponent postures to defend a threatened triangle choke. The triangles section includes the foundational triangle from closed guard where the opponent’s hand positioned closest to his torso is pushed back into their torso (described as stuffing the elbow) and immediately the triangle is applied; this is followed by a version of the triangle entry from closed guard, which relies on tricking the opponent to thinking you are attacking their forward arm with an armbar; another closed guard triangle with an entry that looks similar to a scissor sweep, but where the opponent’s front arm, which is holding your lapel is displaced by your top leg to provide the entry into the triangle; a triangle from closed guard with an entry that appears to the opponent to be a hip bump sweep; and the final triangle entry (described as a lapel triangle), which is used where the opponent is stalling in your closed guard and the opponent’s Gi in combination with your leg/foot is used to raise his arm to enable you to enter the triangle. The offensive submissions includes the shotgun armbar from side control, which is a quick armbar applied to their nearside arm; the Kong lock which is another simple and quick armbar entered while on the mount and where a kimura style grip is applied to the opponent’s arm, with your arm wrapping their arm across their elbow with the hyper extension applied after you slide off the mount; a triangle attack entered from side control and finished on your back; an entry for either an armbar attacking the nearside arm or a triangle from side control; and the bonus technique is a bicep crush / slicer from a leg lasso. Sound and picture quality are good. As necessary, close-up views are provided and the techniques are demonstrated from different angles. Kaelum’s instruction and demonstrations are clear and easily understood. As would be expected Kaelum goes through the technique slowly several times and then performs the technique at “full speed”. The techniques that Kaelum has chosen to include in the instructional are not complicated and for most people should be easy to remember and perform. I think the description of the techniques being “sneaky” is apt. For me this is a really fun and relatively inexpensive instructional. The instructional has a total run time of 50 minutes. I can imagine people overlooking this instructional as there are so many other titles available, however the entries are gold and the techniques work. You will definitely surprise people with these submissions.
Response from BJJ FanaticsThanks so much for your detailed review! 🤗Easy to follow submission attacks
Love this series. It provides plenty of setups for subs that many people are unprepared for. Its easy to get someone defending a normal attack and then switch to one form this series and catch someone off guard

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Sneaky submissions
I’ve been doing jiujitsu for about 3 years and I have a lot of bjj fanatic videos. This video has submissions I have never seen before and so I’ve been able to catch a few people with the sneaky submissions. The moves were explained simply and clearly so anyone can understand it. This video has been the most helpful because the moves can be done by anyone regardless of age and physical ability. The moves are simple, yet effective. You don’t have to be an extreme athlete for these submissions to work. I’m short and not flexible or strong and these submissions work for me. I highly recommend this video regardless of experience or body type.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻AMAZING!
I’m a purple belt and this techniques has help me submit black belts at my school. Great details on the DVD I highly recommend it if you want to upgrade your game and caught high level guys at your gym. ;)
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Sneaky subs!
