There are numerous factors that can attribute to injuries. The Americana submission rotates the shoulder into end-range external rotation which stresses the joint, muscles, and even bone.

Important things to work on are shoulder mobility and strength.
These are a few of the factors to help with injury-prevention and protecting the shoulder. This series of exercises are great for mobility and prime the musculature around the shoulder as well as assist with strength.

The Wall Angel is a great exercise for general motion and correction of impaired posture/tightness that may come from training Jiu-Jitsu or excessive sitting.

Adding a resistance component is a great way to combine strength, mobility, and postural correction all into one technique.

This video includes three variations with the traditional Wall Angel, Resisted Wall Angel, and the modification to the Floor Angel with Resistance.

These are great to implement as a warm up, rehab, or as a general maintenance exercise. Sets and Reps: 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions.
