🥋 Crucifix 101 — The Silent Killer of Jiu-Jitsu 🔥 If you don’t know the crucifix, you’re missing one of the cleanest, nastiest, and most technical traps in all of BJJ. You don’t chase the choke… You capture the arms, isolate the neck, and let your opponent do the panicking for you. 😮‍💨 From turtle. From scrambles. From chaos. The crucifix turns everything into checkmate. ♟️ Master this and your opponents won’t just tap — they’ll wonder how they got tied up like that in the first place. 😂🥋

Here’s a tricky arm bar I like to hit from the turtle position or crucifix position. This one catches a lot of people off guard and can be really effective if you get good at it. Check out my instructional on @bjj.fanatics for more! #jiujitsu #nogi | Shawn Melanson
