Just because a move is low-percentage by itself, doesn’t mean it isn’t still a useful tool. Here is an example: this ham sandwich is a recovery from a shallow saddle entry, and it can also set up a pass to leg drag position. So don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to ostensibly low-percentage submissions.

More like this in my instructional from @bjj.fanatics called Compression Locks, Slicers & Sandwiches

This ham sandwich entry comes from diving to seemingly pass de la Riva. It looks more complicated than it is, and it is definitely confusing for the bottom player on the receiving end…which makes it a cool option. If it fails to result in the full ham sandwich, it can still result in a guard pass or even back take.

This and so many other compression style submissions are available on my Compression Locks instructional @bjj.fanatics

Nasty and super simple entry and finish for a ham sandwich. This one comes from the opponent’s de la Riva and gives us an opportunity for this awesome compression submission from the top. This and much more on my @bjj.fanatics instructional “Compression Locks: Slicers & Sandwiches.”

The first ham sandwich I ever learned and still a really effective one to this day is the rolling ham sandwich from de la Riva, which can also be applied from headquarters. This is a clip from my recent seminar on HQ passing and leglocks I taught at @billjiujitsu in Jacksonville, FL. Huge thank you to Professor Bill, @georgeivanoff and all the attendees for a magnificent day of jiu-jitsu. More videos coming soon!

The Ham Sandwich is a compression style submission that has been around a long time, but like many submissions, it waxes and wanes in popularity. I think this is partially because of the trends in guard passing styles, which would explain a lot. In this video, I show some of the setups, entries and finishing details for this extremely useful and efficient submission, as well as what distinguishes it from the calf slicer it is commonly mistaken for.

Always be as safe as possible in training and competition. I hope these details help. Thanks as always for watching!

This back escape seems a little ambitious at first, but if the butterfly hook makes it in by the end of the escape, the ham sandwich is right there. And if the opponent wants to ease the pressure of it by moving away, they have to leave the other leg behind, succeptible to the backside 50/50 heel hook.

Showing a calf slicer from butterfly sweep attempt and explaining one main distinguishing feature that differentiates a calf slicer from a ham sandwich.

Here are some very useful, tricky and painful compression locks for arms and legs. Obviously, there are many that could be added to the list, but these are the ones that Jared Jessup and I have hit more than anything over the years and feel pretty confident in. Not only are these painful, but more importantly, they can cause damage.

Let me know what you think about these and if you have any favorites not included in this video. Thanks again for watching!

These are a couple of great submissions, very useful in rolling and competition…if the rule set allows. Chewy and I collaborated on this topic, because it is an interesting and fun one to us, and we both have moves like this. If you like Chewy’s choke and/or my Ham Sandwich, then let us know. Also, if you have any moves like that of your own, let us know that too.

Like, subscribe and share! And don’t forget to do the same for Chewjitsu as well if you haven’t already.
