The Ude Garami aka the ‘Americana’ is probably the first submission you will learn in a Jiu-Jitsu class. It’s very basic and very powerful.
If you have been training a long time, then chances are that you haven’t submitted anybody with an Americana in a long time. That’s anybody ‘good’.
Why could that be?
Is it easy to defend or could it be that your basic Americana needs some adjustments to make it more effective.
In this video, the very respected BJJ instructor Roy Dean shows a few high percentage Americana lock variations.
Using these set ups will boost your chances of submitting your training partners with the Americana.
