Hey there! So, in jiu-jitsu, there are some moves that are considered "dirty" because they can really hurt your opponent. Obviously, these moves should only be used in self-defense situations or in competition where they're allowed. You definitely don't want to be going around using them in everyday life because everyone at your gym will hate you!

Before we begin, it is important to note that these techniques should only be used in self-defense situations or in competition where they are allowed. It is never acceptable to use them outside of these contexts, and doing so can result in a hit to your reputation.

Some of these might be considered okay at your gym

Submissions that pose a high risk of injury, such as neck cranks, heel hooks, estima locks, wrist locks, and chokes that crush the trachea and throat, or applying body triangling/mounting with excessive force that can result in traumatic asphyxia, or knee-on-face to escape from reverse triangling, are all considered unsportsmanlike conduct. These moves can be performed by both men and women, and I am now more confident in calling them out as such to my training partners. Moreover, when someone bullies small white belts, particularly women, it goes beyond mere unsportsmanlike conduct and constitutes as outright harassment. In the end, the safety and well-being of our training partners should be our top priority if we want to continue training for many years to come.
