The standard cross arm bar, juji gatame, is one of the most commonly used techniques in jiu-jitsu and judo. It sees widespread use in MMA and submission grappling. Here is a nice article on the move and its use in Judo.
One of the things that makes juji gatame
so useful is the fact that it can be applied from numerous positions.
Most finishing holds can only be applied from just a few positions. Juji gatame can be applied from every major position of advantage: Mount, Guard, Side, Back, headlock, turtle, Wedge (aka "North-South"), and even from the standing clinch.
Juji gatame also combines well with other techniques like collar chokes (i.e. - juji jime) and arm locks (i.e. - ude garami).
A good student of the martial arts will not only learn juji gatame, but will master it as it is one of the most commonly used techniques to be found.
