Joint locks + chokes legal; specific restrictions vary by age group; Heel hooks legal in senior no-gi categories (more permissive than IBJJF, less than ADCC); Submission = instant win
Why people argue about this
People often assume that heel hooks are only illegal in grappling, forgetting they're explicitly banned by UWW regardless of category. The real confusion here stems from the blanket statement about senior no-gi categories allowing them, which overlooks their outright prohibition across all divisions.
