I never finished a triangle during 5 years of training. I blamed my thick thighs and stiff hips or something... Today, 1 day after watching this video I finish 3 out of 4. Where I can send money?
I love hearing this! Go get it!

Or PayPal 😂
don't make everything about money
I mean, just phenomenal teaching. Had no idea I was doing it so wrong! But so well explained - cannot wait to put this into practice.
Thanks Lee
Its not wrong,just alternative finish
@@scarred10 lets not take the piss here Paul
@@willclark5704 if it works its not wrong,just less efficient.
@@scarred10 Ill come over to your gym and you can show me
Holy moly. I've never heard the triangle explained so well. It's amazing how many explanations I've heard from incredible fighters, but no one has ever pointed out these essential details (like the ankle on the upper calf). I think sometimes even good coaches forget the beginner's mindset.
Lachlan, you have a gift!
This has completely changed my triangle. Much easier to lock-in and infinitely easier to get the tap. Thanks for the content. For anyone that hasnt gotten his half guard seminar - easily worth the $.
Amazing details here. Thanks for this information. Really excited to try:
1. Locking over the ankle with the calf, rather than in the nook behind the knee, so the locking leg can be effectively used to tighten the squeeze
2. Generating the primary force of the choke with the push-pull of the legs, instead of just squeezing down with the calves
Very good teaching. Not everyone who has perfect technique knows how to teach.
So mad that im seeing these three years after it came out.
Reminds me of Ryan halls way of finishing.
yes, alot of similarities between danaher, hall, and giles. I'm still sticking with my professor who wants me to bump up my hips to drag the arm across lol
Lachlan is my favorite instructor to watch on youtube. I love his teaching methodology. Please keep up the good work.
He is a world class competitor, but a lousy teacher
Lachlan is the best instructor on youtube that i've found, very detailed, great teacher
Such a good teacher. Nice one!
Great point! I've been struggling with this exact problem, and while I've been given great instruction on how to do it correctly, I was integrating the details incorrectly. This helps me to understand both what I'm being taught and, more importantly for me, *why* *it* *works*.
Thanks Michael!
Exceedingly well explained, this shows clearly the mechanics of the choke. Thanks coach.
Been doing triangles with the ankle under knee finish for years. Going to try going under the calf next roll. Thanks mate!
Let me know how you go!
How did it go?
@@giannilopez549 2 years later and this is how I finish all my triangles now
Awesome instruction. The details of it without anyone in between your legs really showed how small the space gets. I am tall and very skinny. I have a hard time with guys powering out either by posturing or by stacking. I’ve seen videos advising pulling the head or shoulder walking. Can you make a video showing your process for controlling the position, cues to look for in order to recognize what to do quickly in order to maintain the position which will give me more time to finish?
Excellent explanation. My triangle always felt half assed cuz I wasn't able to get a good squeeze.
Ah! I've always thought because I have short legs then I wouldn't be able to get this choke, but now I've learned that I need to create that angle. Thank you.
I am a white belt and I really wanted to master my triangle submission. Huge Thanks! now I will make it even better for me and tighter for my opponents!
This is amazing 🙌🏽 Lachan is the best instructor ever.
Please come to Tampa for a seminar!!
Amazing Control for the triangle and details 🙏 you and danaher are the best for me
Just practiced the triangle about 3 days ago.. Felt like a failure cuz my opp wouldn't tap.. Even the instructor couldn't see what I was doing wrong... This is going to help me for sure!
Great technique. I can't wait to apply it next time I train
Come to America
Wow awesome instructions as always thank you professor
ok this helps a lot. I was definitely not doing it right lol.. Cant wait to try it tomorrow :)
Thank you Master!
Oh man the difference it makes
Glad you liked it Niles!
Excellent breakdown. Thank you.
Beautiful details! Thanks for sharing! 🤘
I actually saw, the triangle, for the first time. Like a rainbow.
Game changer details.
Thanks you ! such great detail here !
Well done lad
Is confusing, I thought ankle under knee cavity should be tighter but guess I´ll have to try it XD.
I believe you anyway.
Even though I have relatively long and strong legs I've never been particularly good at triangles and I know it's 100% because of a lack of understanding of mechanics.
Expert Tuition.
Looking forward to catching up very soon!
Have you discovered a similar tip for inverted triangles? I couldn't finish my triangles before using this technique and I still can't finish my inverted triangles.
Sorry I suck at inverted triangles!
For inverted triangles the "chokepoint" and vectors via which you apply the force are different...
Pure gold
Thanks Elliot!
Absolute MMA St Kilda I tried it when rolling with a friend of mine. I got him in a triangle. He is very hard to finish he stood up and i finished thx to you. I am 1m90 and frequaétly i couln t chocke the guys with my triangle. Thx a lot. I unlocked a new skill;)
Nice one!
Love your explanations Lachlan. I also was taught that you cross your knee and your ankle together. However, I have felt that I have experienced cramping from squeezing too hard when I don't need to. I can get the finish as you pointed out in the video but his adjustment could help make my triangle more efficient. Did you ever get cramping when you were practicing your taught triangle or is this a matter of not warming up correctly?
Hey Tommy, I definitely get tired if I don't have it locked on well. Haven't cramped but that would suck to have that happen!
Amazing! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks Locomatic!
Shouldn't you be able to close it off with your foot locked in behind the knee and then adjust the same way?
I feel like this way you'd lose control more easily. 🤔
How do you know when you're doing something "wrong" like you said in the video you did triangles in a sub optimal way for most of your time doing bjj, at what point did you realise your triangles were failing because of a mechanical error and not something your partners were doing, and how do you even go about telling the difference?
Hey Chris, for me it wasn't a sudden change and realisation. I was taught triangles the other way, slowly over time I started doing a lot of the adjustments that I talk about in the video by feeling what pressures were working and what were not. These adjustments made the finishing rate higher percentage, but I wasn't necessarily aware of exactly what I had done to improve it.
From teaching people the triangle it helped me break down what I really do, not just what I was taught, and found my triangle mechanics had changed considerably from the taught version.
Absolute MMA St Kilda you are a very skilled man, the details that you show in each video are amazing. Congratulations from Brazil!
Wow
Mind blown...

Great correction. That's my mistake right there.
Thanks Ed!
How do you deal with when the person goes with the arm across and drops his weight on that side and starts pulling on the knee? I have a hard time finishing triangles when people do this.
facebook.com/rogergraciepage/videos/1784839431574459/ roger gracie shows a good way to deal with that
I often switch to attack the armbar in that case if my triangle is not able to cause a choke.
@@AbsoluteMMAStKilda true. You gotta use a submission acording to what your opponent does
Any U.S. West Coast seminars on your horizon?
Nothing booked yet unfortunately. Come to Thailand! :)
Trying!
Awesome, it's going to be great fun!

So... You're saying it's like a DAB with your legs :D
That's a way in wich you can put it XD
My triangles sucked shit. Thanks.
Not exactly correct. You have a good concept, but you were doing nothing "wrong" before. In fact, the other way is better as far as where youre placing your foot behind the calf.
Is confusing, I thought ankle under knee cavity should be tighter ...
Thank you!!
