Banana Split wrestling back take and submission
1m 48s
Sean Apperson demonstrates the traditional banana split derived from folk style wrestling. In wrestling this technique is used to control and ride your opponent and perhaps get back exposure or even a pin. In sport BJJ this technique can be used in similar ways to wrestling but with the added benefit of being able to submit your training partner. The split technique is also the pathway to the popular twister spine lock.
