*Dramatic music plays in the bacground*: the Mir Lock! A powerful, shoulder-lock based submission that gets heads (and rotator cuffs) turning whenever it is applied properly. However, it is not seen as often as every jiujiteiro would like it to be.
The Mir Lock, named after the well-known MMA fighter Frank Mir, is a rather dangerous submission that you should be extremely careful with…
So here’s how to do it, from Closed Guard!
BJJ prodigy Mica Galvao starts by being in his training partner’s closed guard, saying that initially it is about having the overhook. However, to make the Mir Lock work for you, you also need to create a good angle and you have to respond to your opponent’s escape attempt in a very specific way. Once you get these things down, you’ll be able to consistently make this attack work for you.
