Triangle to Omoplata? Try This Submission Chain First!

When you catch the triangle position, a common answer especially from bigger players is to wrap around the leg and stall. Sometimes just to stop the progression of the attack and breathe. A common answer is to switch to the omoplata attack. The omoplata is a perfectly fine option but at higher levels it generally leads to a sweep as opposed to the submission. I prefer giving this attack sequence a try before chasing the omoplata as it offers a lot more submission options for bjj competitions as well as street fighting situations.

Why does the other guys have an orange belt?

[@shadymilkman443]

Orange belt is after black belt. This dude is the god of bjj

[@mairerodriguez6706]

Orange is a junior ranking (16 or younger): white, gray, yellow, orange, green, then you move to blue. He probably started training before he was 16 and now that he's a little older he kept his belt instead of downgrading back to white where adults start.

My instructor was talking about this last week haha

1:02 An elbow to the head ? How would this scenario have even come about, if elbows were allowed ? Elbow first, omaplata later

[@thetoastedyeti5303]

Are you saying the situation of getting into a triangle isn’t possible if striking was an option? Because that’s really really stupid.

I feel like this dude needs to invest in some rash guards lol...i think most probably don't want to be touching your hair sweaty chest. Maybe he just doesn't wear them for the videos?
