What is Vaporizer in BJJ?
Quick Definition
A leg lock from the truck position attacking the knee by rotating the lower leg.
Full Explanation
The vaporizer is a leg submission from the truck position where you trap the opponent's leg and apply rotational pressure to the knee, similar to a heel hook but from a different angle. It is part of the 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system and is entered from the truck when the twister is defended. The vaporizer demonstrates how the truck position offers multiple submission threats to different parts of the body.
