Banana Split

The Banana Split is a painful stretching submission in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, often initiated from positions like 'The Truck' or when attacking a turtled opponent. It involves securing one of the opponent's legs while using leverage (typically with the arms or body) to forcefully pull the other leg away, creating an extreme split. This puts immense stretching pressure on the groin muscles (adductors) and hip joints, forcing a submission due to the intense pain and risk of muscle strain or injury.
