Injuries are a frequent thing in jiu jitsu due to the submission holds and intense competitive spirit of the athletes in a match. This is why we’ve seen some cringe worthy subs that didn’t get the tap as well as some gruesome injuries.
Recently a fresh new black belt Seth Daniels found himself in this very position:
After this he received many question as to why exactly he applied this approach. His answer?
I have received a hand full of comments and messages asking my why I didnt “finish” my twister….My answer is simple…I did. My goal in competing is to win by submission, I have ZERO interest in injuring my opponents. I would rather lose than injure someone. If your goal is to hurt people you are in the wrong sport.
Still Yuri Simoes took the opportunity to tease away:
Seth! I’ve seen your Your judo foot sweeps, and they look just like a muay thai low kick, that has to hurt a little bit at least.

Just kidding..
