Today I’ve got a question from a White Belt named Andy who has been hearing that the Keylock is not an effective submission for Jiu-Jitsu, especially at the higher belts.

So, he was wondering if the Keylock, or sometimes called the Americana, is even worth doing and if I could give him a couple of tips to improve his catching & finishing rate, cause he’s having trouble hitting it in his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gym.

This submission was actually one of my favorite submissions as a BJJ White Belt and as I got more experience it became something more like a sneaky threat or a set up for other submissions or positions.

Regardless it’s still a very useful tool and I’ll give you guys 3 tips to make you key lock stronger, both as a White Belt or an experienced Jiu-Jitsu practitioner.

Hopefully if you were struggling to finish this submission or just found Jiu-Jitsu, then you found this helpful.

Thanks for watching!
