The submission is commonly performed by clearly tapping the floor or the opponent with the hand or sometimes with the foot, to signal the opponent and possibly the referee of the submission.

The submission can also be verbal, during which the fighter verbally informs that he is giving up. In some combative sports where the fighter has cornermen, the corner can also stop the fight by "throwing in the towel", which may count as a submission.

The English word "bar" is used here to signify the opponent's extended arm, while the Japanese word "juji" (??) refers to the armbar's visual resemblance to the number 10 as written in Kanji, ?. The word juji is also found in "juujika" (???), meaning a cross.

Juji-gatame

The juji-gatame (???, "cross armlock" or technically referred to as ude-hishigi-juji-gatame; in professional wrestling the technique is referred to a "cross armbreaker" or "crucifix armbar"). In general, the attacker grabs the wrist of the targeted arm of the opponent, holding and securing it by squeezing it between the thighs of the attacker. The attacker's legs end up across the opponent's chest, with the arm held between the thighs, with the elbow pointing against the thigh or hips. By holding the opponent's wrist to the attacker's chest, the attacker can extend the opponent's arm and hyperextend the opponent's elbow. The attacker can further increase the pressure on the elbow joint by arching his or her hips against the elbow. This is extremely effective, especially against unknowledgeable opponents.
