The Crucifix is one of the most dominant positions in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu… But it tends to be somewhat elusive to athletes, especially those who haven’t learned how to set it up.
The crucifix is a technique where you control an arm using your legs. You form a “T” in relation to your opponent, hence the name. The position aims to isolate the opponent’s arms in such a way that it will be difficult for them to escape. It also leads to many submission opportunities for the attacker.
