My instructor showed me this one because I was initially having problems with the triangle choke due to my short, thick legs. When he applied it on me it felt as if my head was going to separate from my shoulders. It is a very effective choke. Thank you for posting.
Another excellent, easy to understand video. I dont think I'll ever bother buying any more instructionals, the sub 101 team are putting together a VERY good collection. Still can't belive you guys are putting it all on here for free. Awesome videos, please keep 'em coming.
this is a great move. i am new to jiu jitsu and while i find that i am broader than a lot of guys i roll with my legs are short so i can't lock my triangles in easily. this offers a great straight forward alternative that i can use as a beginner. Thanks! You guys are awesome.
Thanks, I love this move! It is so easy to do and boy they don't see it coming. I did it and got a verbal tap the first attempt and everyone watching couldn't believe it - does not look like you are doing much. Very effective. GREAT stuff.
As a heavyweight (6'1" 225 lbs) I find this incredibly helpful when I'm facing other guys my size or larger. It's especially helpful when big guys are trying to power you by stacking, in essence it's almost like they're working against themselves when you switch to tepee, pushing themselves down onto your legs pushing up. GREAT VID, THANKS GUYS!
This works with the arm across as well, not only when the other person hides their arm to prevent the triangle finish. If you've got strong legs you can just control the arm across and squeeze the legs for the submission.
I am 6'3 but my legs are really short for my height. This IS my triangle. I use it more often than the triangle and it has actually made getting the triangle easier for me because people know to look for it now.
I try this usually when a triangle choke fails and it works a I've done it when rolling and I have been submitted with this and it works , I like your videos ...
this is def one of my favorite moves. sometimes it will take a while to get the triangle tightened up and this variation makes it so much easier. just make sure you have a good squeeze and keep it tight. thanx sub101
@matthewtkeen The Scorpion Crunch is both legs around the RIBS (it is a rib crush). Notice that this has one arm trapped (like a triangle). This attacks the SHOULDER. Different moves
You're demostrating very good the techniques in your vids, a 10/10 from me.. this is a very good technique for me to use cuz i have it hard to put my opponents in a triangle cuz my legs are too short.
In a couple of days, I will be uploading the "3 points of Death" drill. It uses the triangle, tepee and/or BOLT lock as the finishing move. I think everyone will love this drill.
This is also a good move to do if your getting stacked. Some guy I was just rolling with had a good 65 pounds, thought to stack me and I put this on him. Good stuff.
Now that I think about it his arm was across his body like a triangle choke, my bad. Thanks for responding, next time I'll make sure I do it when his arm is on the side of his body. Cheers
I personally find the s grip better for 2 reasons. First, it allows you to engage your forearms more (the 'cut in' better) with the s grip and second, it allows you a few more inches to grab around your partner (if they are a bit bigger than you, you may not be able to gable)
Actually, I have the opposite problem when doing the triangle. I'm pretty long and lanky and when I roll with smaller guys I have to work real hard to finish with a triangle because there's so much space between my legs when the back of my knee is resting near my ankle. This will be an awesome alternative because its real easy for me to shoot those legs up straight in the air. Thank you.
Yes you can go to the arm-bar or camora from there but this is a cool way so you don't have to leave the position you are in to shoot for the other two.
Thank you so much Submissions 101! your videos have brought my grappling to another level. One question, I was grappling a broad shouldered opponent and used the teepee but my instructor advised that I just pull down on the head and push up with the legs instead. I just want to know if there are any cons to the way my instructor advised.
man, you probably know so many submissions it's hard to keep track of. I'd hate to go against you though man. I use a lot of these cause people just don't know them. Things like the scorpion crunch work everytime against wrestlers, for me at least. lol Thanks for the videos.
Wow looks extremely painful.My friend is the same height as me but is bigger,in the shoulders that is and I can never do the triangle choke on him,and now that I know this move,maybe he will tap out...Thanks. :D
my sensei saw me trying this and showed me something thats even easier by grabbing behind the neck with both hands and tightening the choke on his carotids by pulling the left hand with the right so that your left forearm tightens everything up around his neck ...lights out baby .....
I saw Sam Hoger apply a scorpion crunch to Rashad Evans. Joe Rogan thought he was just trying to stalemate, and the ref stood them up. ... comments for the scorpion crunch video are disabled :-D
As far as I know yes. I've been taught this by my BJJ-Coach as an option when the guy tries to block the trianlge by reaching around the leg. Been doing it in sparring matches as well, but had no chance to try it out in a tournament yet. Also I don't see any reason why it should be banned, as it is basically a choke (in my opinion)
very nice isnt this like scorpion crunch? tried the scorpion crunch in the training but didnt reach in the back wit my hands. Thanks for vids very nice
Ive been caught in this multiple times since I'm good at preventing the triangle from sinking in however i'm not a muscle guy so i have rather slim upperbody/shoulders and this is uncomfortable but it's not something you tap to, the guy on bottom will try to muscle this and will eventually get tired and give it up.
dood u guys are seriously too fuckin awesome. i wouldnt be where im at today (in terms of jiu-jitsu level) if it werent for your vids. thank you submissions 101 ;]
Videos are only guidelines and it is hard to say without being there. If you have an instructor who is FAMILIAR with this move, they can point you in the right direction. Also, not all moves work on all people all the time.
hmm, i have to try this in training. i have a guy i go up against that is 6'6" 250 and if i can get in rubber guard i bet i could use this. thanks guys
Yeah it looks alot like it, except the arms are basically in your control on the outside, he cant push up against your body to try and break it as easily.
it worked for me in one of my matches, I can't link the video but its in therevolution33 youtube channel and its titled Paulina Granados at Results Grappling Tourney. Start watching at 2:56
You said it places pressure on the neck and the shoulder. So does this still qualify as a carodid chock or a a neck crank. Want to know so I don't get D.Q. 'd Thanks.
i really nid this.. im 5`5 and my sparring mates are about 6.. really bigger than me.. lol.. they ask me,"why do you still want to spar with us?" i answered them.. "its not about the size, its about the speed and technique".. lol... thats why im gonna need these moves to prove it lol
Hahah me and my friend, have both actually made kids shit them selfs after doing this. its great when they are trying to get something, and unexpected!
if he's really strong like say rampage or outweighs u bout 30 pounds, couldnt he like powerbomb u much more easily if u do that? anyways i dont understand wat the sub targets. mind explaining?

Rule #1 Submissions 101 is #1
I learn alot from these guys, thank you Submissions 101.

thank you soo much for these videos. you guys have improved my ground game so much.
"The 3 points of DEATH" sounds dangerous. Hope to see it soon. lol
Exactly.
Knowing the right technique or move at the right time will get you very far.
It's not always about size.
Very cool, and simple technique.
I grapple heavyweight so I tend to grapple bigger guys, so I can't wait to try this one out.
Thanks.

Great Videos. Excellent instructor ! Very detailed and put in very simple terms.
This works with the arm across as well, not only when the other person hides their arm to prevent the triangle finish. If you've got strong legs you can just control the arm across and squeeze the legs for the submission.
This is a brilliant move. Just by looking at it I can see how it works... Good stuff man. Keep it up.
hahah that guy didnt llook to happy at the end from the tepee. thanks a bunch submissions 101. loving all these videos.
I am 6'3 but my legs are really short for my height. This IS my triangle. I use it more often than the triangle and it has actually made getting the triangle easier for me because people know to look for it now.

this is def one of my favorite moves. sometimes it will take a while to get the triangle tightened up and this variation makes it so much easier. just make sure you have a good squeeze and keep it tight. thanx sub101
your videos are so much realistic than other youtube karate videos!
@matthewtkeen The Scorpion Crunch is both legs around the RIBS (it is a rib crush). Notice that this has one arm trapped (like a triangle). This attacks the SHOULDER. Different moves
sub101 is the only place i look for rubber guard stuff. great stuff.
great technique, easy to understand and very effective! thanks.
Basically, the more of an angle you get, the better the choke will be (tighter). That is why you'll guys angle off to the side.
Thankx for the post Sub 101. Sneaky Technique!! Luv It!
this is so good for guys with short thick legs like me thanks for posting this your doing excellent work guys
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to experiment both.
Submissions101 - best profile on You Tube ! I learn a lot from those vids . Thanks.
similar but you'll notice that the tepee is around the head in a triangle. The SC is done around the body.
There is this 1 dude at my gym that catches everyone with this and he seems to be able to do it from any angle imaginable
he needs to make a video ahahah i want to see and learn and copy and use
It's the same as the scorpion crunch but from the triangle position. Like he said, usually only do it if you can't lock the triangle
You're demostrating very good the techniques in your vids, a 10/10 from me.. this is a very good technique for me to use cuz i have it hard to put my opponents in a triangle cuz my legs are too short.

You guys are the reason i started BJJ and MMA!!! Thank you!
great job guys i love your videos

uploading the '3 points of Death' drill right now.
man does this one ever work
th-cam.com/video/fdU2t4huEeM/w-d-xo.html
i thought it was the same as the scorpian crunch at first but saw the difference the second time
That video has been up for a few weeks now..take a look.
Yes you can go to the arm-bar or camora from there but this is a cool way so you don't have to leave the position you are in to shoot for the other two.

You tube changed its format and now I have to go and select each one and make comments come up...sigh...in due time ;-)
man, you probably know so many submissions it's hard to keep track of. I'd hate to go against you though man. I use a lot of these cause people just don't know them. Things like the scorpion crunch work everytime against wrestlers, for me at least. lol Thanks for the videos.
Good lesson...sure wanna try that.
wow this is a good move gonna try it out thanks
Very... Very useful!
Very good job. I appreciated all of your videos.
I wish to ask you how your business is going, I think you guys have lots of athletes.
hand placement is different and there is no arm trapped in between the legs.
Wow looks extremely painful.My friend is the same height as me but is bigger,in the shoulders that is and I can never do the triangle choke on him,and now that I know this move,maybe he will tap out...Thanks. :D
@NurlaCondomov sure it does, i won a match with it, but the guy i was fighting said he tapped because it reinforced the choke not hurt his shoulder
my sensei saw me trying this and showed me something thats even easier by grabbing behind the neck with both hands and tightening the choke on his carotids by pulling the left hand with the right so that your left forearm tightens everything up around his neck ...lights out baby .....

very helpful
This one is a nightmare to be caught in!
my favorite , i prefer this over the triangle really. i find its harder to escape.
Actually, the tepee will be LESS effective if the arm is across the body as a traditional triangle.
@Submissions101 thanks i was asking the same question while asking this
As far as I know yes. I've been taught this by my BJJ-Coach as an option when the guy tries to block the trianlge by reaching around the leg. Been doing it in sparring matches as well, but had no chance to try it out in a tournament yet.
Also I don't see any reason why it should be banned, as it is basically a choke (in my opinion)
I learned this move today but for me personally, it's kind of hard to pull off hopefully i'll get better
very nice isnt this like scorpion crunch? tried the scorpion crunch in the training but didnt reach in the back wit my hands. Thanks for vids very nice
Ive been caught in this multiple times since I'm good at preventing the triangle from sinking in however i'm not a muscle guy so i have rather slim upperbody/shoulders and this is uncomfortable but it's not something you tap to, the guy on bottom will try to muscle this and will eventually get tired and give it up.
I used this last night on a broad guy giving me trouble he tapped right away. I like it. Not to be confused with the bolt lock.
this is similar 2 da scorpion crunch. just tweaked a little bit
dood u guys are seriously too fuckin awesome. i wouldnt be where im at today (in terms of jiu-jitsu level) if it werent for your vids. thank you submissions 101 ;]
It can do both.
@Amicus405
You have them in a triangle choke...
Balletman:
Do you have that fight on video? I'd love to feature it on Sub101.
I also LOVE this submission.
Videos are only guidelines and it is hard to say without being there. If you have an instructor who is FAMILIAR with this move, they can point you in the right direction. Also, not all moves work on all people all the time.
hmm, i have to try this in training. i have a guy i go up against that is 6'6" 250 and if i can get in rubber guard i bet i could use this. thanks guys
Cool move, problem is is that I am usually on the receiving end of it, any advice you could offer in the way of an escape..cheers.
That was good
Yeah it looks alot like it, except the arms are basically in your control on the outside, he cant push up against your body to try and break it as easily.
You aren't supposed to, but you can do certain ones if you kinda hide it lol
@mmagamer4life lol i really messed this up i meant to say that this is perfect at my judo plae there are a lot of fat guys
This would of worked nicely for anderson silva when he was fighting lutter.
Do you guys know how to do the Oni Lock?
how do you make someones heart explode? can you make a video on that? :)
Depends who does it ;-) Eddie's suck! But is just another option.
Would the tepee be effective for someone like my dad who does not have much in the way of flexibility? lol.
it worked for me in one of my matches, I can't link the video but its in therevolution33 youtube channel and its titled Paulina Granados at Results Grappling Tourney. Start watching at 2:56
I suppose this will work well/still if they try to stack you (and get stand on both feet)?
its hard to make someone tap with this choke
You said it places pressure on the neck and the shoulder. So does this still qualify as a carodid chock or a a neck crank. Want to know so I don't get D.Q. 'd
Thanks.
i really nid this.. im 5`5 and my sparring mates are about 6.. really bigger than me.. lol.. they ask me,"why do you still want to spar with us?" i answered them.. "its not about the size, its about the speed and technique".. lol... thats why im gonna need these moves to prove it lol
@matthewtkeen how is a car not a bike ??
cool,,
It is a choke
o this is perfitect at my judo place a lotthere are a lot of fat guys thanks for the vid really helps
I`ve tried this and it works fine. I have a question: Can I do it without the hands locked? Just squeezing with the legs?
it does look really similar to the scorpion crunch. whats the difference?
What is your opinion on pulling the head down and crossing your legs the opposite way (to reinforce the leg on the "shoulder" side)?
Hahah me and my friend, have both actually made kids shit them selfs after doing this. its great when they are trying to get something, and unexpected!
kinda like the scorpion crunch.. tweet
how isn't this a scorpion crunch?
which is better, this move or the "bolt lock"?
if he's really strong like say rampage or outweighs u bout 30 pounds, couldnt he like powerbomb u much more easily if u do that? anyways i dont understand wat the sub targets. mind explaining?
isn't that the same thing as the scorpion crunch?
