submission hold
Pain compliance technique
A submission hold is a wrestling or martial arts technique designed to force an opponent to concede defeat, typically by applying pressure to joints or restricting breathing.
The hold continues until the opponent "submits" by tapping out or verbally surrendering, or until a referee stops the match.
Common examples include chokeholds, armlocks, and leg locks.

Submission holds are central to grappling sports like judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and mixed martial arts.
