Let's have a constructive thread on our favorite combos and techniques – either stand-up or submissions. This is a chance to share your knowledge and experience.
Here are some of my combos. There's nothing really special, just basic techniques that when combined with correct timing can be effective.
Jab, Cross, Roundhouse Kick to Elbow Strike
Step-in with a jab, side-step right (orthodox stance) & throw a right, followed by a left hook
For submissions, I like the double-leg takedown to the mount and armbar.
However, my favorite technique is one I've been developing since high school wrestling. The technique is illegal in HS wrestling ofcourse. Either I grab the opponent's lead hand (if he's within range and doesn't throw anything) or I shoot in to take his arm. Either way, I bring the arm towards me by pressing my elbow down and against his arm. At the same time, I merely sit down and the leverage forces him on his face with me on his back holding his arm at my disposal. It's hard to explain in words, but the technique takes less than 1 second to perform.
The logic behind this technique is that the opponent's lead hand is the closest limb (at least in certain stances). Also, it's not easy trying to execute a double-leg takedown against a skilled wrestler with tree-trunk legs... Therefore, this technique is sometimes useful.
