I always wondered why and how some people just couldn't finish their triangles. Improper technique. You're great at explaining things Ari. You're my hero. Rash guard is definite pwnage!
used this move the other night and caught a bigger guy all thanks to the clear simple instructions from this excellent video clip, doin a great job fellas
wow i should have watched this a long time ago. i had a friend of mine in a triangle but i was having a hard time locking it and finishing. i never thought it was my body placement! thanks this helped out so much!
I learned a similar technique from Bart vale called the leg scissor choke. To me it seems a lot like a triangle choke, but the uke's head doesn't need to be pulled down.
@paulinbin360 Anytime there is a space between your opponent and your butt during guard is a good time to put one of your opponents arms behind your legs and posture up onto your upperback/neck and wrap the legs around the neck/under other arm. Also if they are attempting to pass your guard by going under your legs(underpass), they are basically putting themselves into a triangle choke.
Are you taking classes? Cuz i took a free class today and i love it... I learned Armbars from the mount. and Triangles and armbars from the guard soo and it was my first day... You just need to practice it with a friend and make sure you angle so you lock it in.
Do you do advice on takedowns? When i take someone down, i tend to fall into a gullotine, and im good at getting out of them, i just want more options on the takedown to make sure it doesnt go pear shaped. Thanks ~David, (sixteen from Scotland)
Submission101 team: Can you explain more details about the posture of the top guy please. What I understood is that the top guys posture must be broken first, but what if I cant do that ? Thx
People have done it. It's extremely unlikely that someone with people in the same weight class, but rampage has done it to arona in pride, and i've seen it in several amateur comps as well. Generally, it has to be done before it's fully locked in, or as soon as it's locked in, but it's still possible.
im 5'6 and my friend is 5'7.. im 180lbs and he's 280lbs.. is it possible to sink in a triangle on him? i attempted before but couldnt connect my foot under my knee to lock it. or is there some people u just cant put moves on?
@saiyenrace with every positive there comes a negative , it's the best thing about an mma fight, proves to be well trained and quick to avoid any throwdowns
Try to pull the arm with full power for like 2-3 seconds, then relax until you feel him relax and then tug. Hopefully you'll catch him off guard and lock it. Good luck!
Its not about core strength its about bad execution of the choke usually 2 mistakes: 1. The choke is too square so your don't get the tightness. 2. Not sweeping his ground arm off the ground. This arm if left there allows him to shift weight to his legs (stacking) A well executed choke will not leave him with enough oxygen to try and stack on you, let alone lift you up. So its mostly poor execution.
I got in a fight with my brother in law because he hit my sister and the fight went to the ground. I used this and almost killed the guy. I didnt know when to stop. lol
I don't fight MMA. As for grappling competition videos, I haven't competed in many years but plan on getting back at it next year after my marriage and as long as my back holds out (blew out my L5 a couple years back...that was fun ;-)
sometimes your body (or your partner) will prevent some moves. Remember, no all moves work on all people all the time. If your partner is too big to hook up your legs, use the tepee!
I've been doing jits for a few months now. It seems like i'm a one trick pony, I'd say 80-90% of my submissions are from triangles, either from guard or from mount, and the other 10% comes from the occasional RNC, Arm Bar, Guillotine, and Anaconda. I've never done an omoplata before. Grr, I don't know how I can expand my game, I almost always automatically go for the triangle lol
@rseagles14 CM Punk is a huge puro fan, he got the move from Tenzan. He got the GTS from KENTA. MVP and Jericho are also huge puro fans, they got their moves from Chono and Marufuji respectively. A lot of wrestlers have stories of how they got their finishers. Usually from other wrestlers. basically what i am saying is that yes, the anaconda choke is a real submission used in Japanese Pro Fighting
Perfect video folks. 1. Most failed chokes are too square. 2. Most guys don't sweep the ground arm. This arm allows him to shift weight to his legs (stack). Check the rampage slum video the guy made the same mistakes and rampage made him pay. A good choke should cut off his oxygen quickly enough to prevent stacking.
It's extremely rare that this happens. It's happened twice in Pride that I can remember, and I can't remember it happening in the UFC, or any smaller organizations. I could be wrong about this, of course, but unless you're facing a freak athlete with AMAZING core strength, the chance of them doing it before they pass out is about the same chance of getting hit by lightning.
being mounted with your opponent on your arms isn't that hard to get out of... bridge up (throwing them off balance), and slide one arm out as your opponent attempts to re-position. from there begin shrimping until you have both arms out. then simply trap one of your opponents arms, bridge, and roll to the side. its not fool proof, but it is easily do able.
ive been training for 4 years and am really trying to improve my gaurd.. I know the technique to do the triangle.. but when rolling live.. everytime I go for the triangle I always end up in side control... can you help me bye letting me kno what im doing wrong
triangles are difficult on big guys, if you do get it use it as an advantage position and try to go for an armbar or just wait and see what he does if he makes a mistake counter it, bait, dont try too hard for the submission or they're definitely going to get out of it
@Asa87 Your making an idiot out of yourself telling people to watch Ryan Hall, instead of Submissions 101. Both are incredibly talented in breaking down the science of submission grappling. The more instructionals out there the better.
My friend trained with the Gracie family and he only taught me the arm bar and triangle and told me to practice those two till they are second nature before going to anything else. This helps out in opening up those two moves more.
You are awesome at explaining this. My joshu told me to look up other ways people explain triangle chokes. This is exactly the way he explained it every bit of step and motion was mentioned. and ANGLE=STRANGLE is what he said for tc haha
any tip if your opponent is heavyer and stronger than you? already i can put the triangle but i cant handle is right hand for finish him with the choke or an armbar... im like 130-140lbs aprox and the guys of the gym are something like 170-200lbs...
That is a position you NEVER want to end up in, haha. If someone is mounting you and sitting on your arms, you are capital fucked, lol. Unless you can somehow turn over while protecting your neck. Regardless, it would be tough.
I am very intrested in getting into MMA which is why ima be gonna be joining this gym in a few months too learn all the muay tai and bjj i need to be sucessful. This video was very helpful on how to perfectly execute a triangle
Hey, can anyone tell me ways of how to get more flexible for this choke? ive been trying for awhile but it always seems like i cant get my right leg flexible enough to get under my left. any tips?
Hey Guys, Excellent vids and I really enjoy your methods of teaching. The details that you guys give are incredibly helpful and really make a difference. Keep it up!
I cant stand it when your roll with someone new to jiu jitsu and you position before submission and they pick you up and slam you by using just brute strength .
Reposition. If you have the triangle locked well, It's going to take a lot of energy to hold that stack. Swivel your hips towards him and grab the leg.
How are you going to pick someone up with your waist at a 45 and oxygen and blood being cut off at 3 arteries to the brain? Total kybrd warrior question.
Thank you so much! I usually get the triangel locked, but I cant finish them of especially bigger guys! But with your tip in ready to tap some ppl out ;)
I always wondered why and how some people just couldn't finish their triangles. Improper technique. You're great at explaining things Ari. You're my hero.
Rash guard is definite pwnage!

Yes, I heard this years ago while doing jits. It really does help students remember.
wow i should have watched this a long time ago. i had a friend of mine in a triangle but i was having a hard time locking it and finishing. i never thought it was my body placement! thanks this helped out so much!
these guys BY FAR has the best vids!
amazing, thanks a lot, i love how in depth you guys explain things very helpful
Awesome video Ari! Very important strategies explained clearly!
@DikkiSeamen We have one. Look up the meat hook triangle.
I learned a similar technique from Bart vale called the leg scissor choke. To me it seems a lot like a triangle choke, but the uke's head doesn't need to be pulled down.
thanks alot. you've really increased my success rate with this - and the stack defense is quite sweet :)
next up...triangle defense :P
The only thing I have trouble with is remembering which side you lock up on, now I know the side you have the arm is the side you lock up....THANKS!!
"Angles mean strangles"! Gold!

Very nice, never seen an angle triangle.. I'll try that one:)
Do you do advice on takedowns?
When i take someone down, i tend to fall into a gullotine, and im good at getting out of them, i just want more options on the takedown to make sure it doesnt go pear shaped.

whats the best thing to do when somebody stacks your guard or triangle? to the point where its uncomfortable and your legs open up
Awesome video. Thanks

@MrGlen707 I would imagine that you'd hook the leg and dump him?
already have 5 up on our site! ;-)
is there a full song for the intro theme?
Do you mind sending me the link for those shirts too
Overseer - Slayed
you guys are great werwe are u located?
this is really good
@180Quickick thanks i did that and locked in an armbar, and works fine! i submited him about 3 times
You guys are bad ass.
Nothing is top secret. We will share anything to anyone-that's how we roll in 10th Planet /Sub 101
where is your gym i would love to train with you
Man cant wait to try these tips, always find myself getting the lock, but very difficult to execute the submission.
cool rash guard man
What's up with the Power Ranger shirt?
yep i beleive youre right
@brennanww thats true thats true
you guys done it again 5*s
the best!
thanks
kinda like kata gatame except with the legs

yes
why you don't go to UFC \o/
I got in a fight with my brother in law because he hit my sister and the fight went to the ground. I used this and almost killed the guy. I didnt know when to stop. lol
@Submissions101 Canada is like the second biggest country in the world.. lol
Dece
it can and would absolutely kill someone if applied long enough.
my bad trying to learn how to comment, haha
no, if you held on for around a minute you could kill someone
i think we got a poser badass over here...
Angle yourself more. 99% of people who can't lock it in aren't angled.
13 people can't do a triangle choke nuff said
He was joking
No it can't Chuck Norris. It can make someone pass out or cause brain damage though.
no, in that position she sucks for a while then i do the move :p
too many keyboard warriors ;D
HUH GAY

i bruised my hamstring getting a triangle on a really really big guy. I got it, but I regret it!
words of advice: be careful!!
awesome videos dudes I've used a lot of the techniques learned from watching these submissions101 videos in competition

Im pretty sure its a vascular choke, cutting off blood with your leg opposite their arm

you have to be very lucky. im still working on that, as theyre setting it up you can pick them p but once it gets locked in its almost impossible
I'm sorry no one should be disliking this video. There's no reason.
Just looking for something to complain about: haters.
@Submissions101 i would love to learn BJJ... mostly this system.. but i live in a small town so it kind of limits me....
Wow, thanks alot for this video! This is gonna help alot with my triangles! I wish you guys had an iPod touch/iPhone app!
Thanks for this video i never knew about hookin the leg when they stand up. I'm small so i always end up getting slammed.
Lol!!! Well you guys are awesome as it is. Hate to see how much better you are with the super shirts.Lol!!! Peace
@Submissions101 Victoria BC, F-OFF, I'm in Van, I'm gonna hit you guys up as soon as I have the chance.
Not sure what you mean by hooking their heel with your leg.
