ADVICE

Don't Invest Heavily In Reverse Triangle

  • Reverse triangle is low-value overall; only keep it as a novelty unless you can consistently control top angles.
  • Josh ranks it C because it's often laughed at and hard to finish.
INSIGHT

Wojlock Is A New Effective 50-50 Straight Ankle

  • Wojlock is a new 50-50 straight-ankle variant offering fresh entries into ankle attacks, gaining rapid interest.
  • Josh rates it A due to situational but potent application and recent diffusion.
ADVICE

Skip The Scorpion Arm Lock Variant

  • Ignore the scorpion arm-lock variant; it's inferior and wastes time compared with ten simpler, higher-value submissions.
  • Josh calls this version D and urges mastering basics first.
