Techniques in Brazilian jiu jitsu

Bjj is a grappling based martial art that uses joint locks and choke holds to defeat the opponent. Opponent that is getting submitted has a chance to save his limb by physically or verbally tapping. If he taps three times with his hand or says 'tap' verbally the opponent will let go of the submission but it means that he lost. If the warrior has a lot of pride he might not tap to a submission for example a choke but then he will loose consciousness for a short period of time. It still means that he lost.
