kneebar

A kneebar is a submission hold in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and other grappling arts. It is a technique where the attacker uses their knee to control the opponent's arm, typically the opponent's arm that is holding them. The kneebar is applied by placing the knee on the opponent's arm, usually on the elbow or the forearm, and then using the body weight to control the arm. This technique is often used to break the opponent's grip or to control their arm for further submission holds. The kneebar is a powerful and effective technique in BJJ, and it is often used in both ground and standing positions. It is important for practitioners to understand the proper technique and safety precautions when applying the kneebar to avoid injury.
