Six Triangle Choke Escapes | From Early to Very Late

Рет қаралды 307,956

Күн бұрын

Most everyone’s favorite guard submission to catch is also most everyone’s least favorite to get caught with. The triangle is a powerful and versatile technique and can be very difficult to defend or even prevent. This video will hopefully help with that.
These are some of the best counters and preventative measures I’ve come across over the years from different teachers and from getting caught in plenty of triangles myself.
Here’s what’s included:
• Early Escape
• Step Through Triangle Counter
• Stack to Posture Triangle Counter
• Bulldog Escape
• Late Escape
The Hail Mary Escape
I hope you like the video, and please remember to like, share and subscribe. Turn on notifications to know as soon as I put up a new video.

Thank you, everyone!

I was rolling with my instructor a couple weeks ago and he had me in a triangle choke and stuffed my attempts to escape, so I tried the Hail Mary escape and it actually worked! I was amazed. He said it took him by surprise.

I know this is an old video, but I used the hail Mary escape twice this morning when my coach had me in a triangle where I was on my side. He had a good hold of my right arm trying to armbar me, but I was still able to use the left arm and crash it down on the mat to break the triangle. I survived the round!

I really love these! I have been focusing on baiting the triangle on purpose to move in for a stack but some of my more regular partners are catching up to this and either not going for the triangle or, for the most stubborn, preventing the stack. This gives many options and for both sides, really like it! will work on them one by one for next couple of months or so. thanks so much!

I find BJJ very difficult because in a live situation you need to be able to assess and react to a player who knows what you know. This is a great breakdown of when and what escape you should try. The Hail Mary at the end is fantastic. Thanks for posting.

@AndrewQuiroz 5 жыл бұрын

With all due respect, because I'm glad your promoting yourself on social media, it's a disservice to say that if you have full on triangle on you, that your only option is to tap. Tapping is after attempting 1-4 different stages of escapes. There are several full on triangle escapes, that will work on brown and black opponents. If a simple "Early triangle escape" is needed, then one just needs to posture/stand up and shrug shoulders. Lower belts want to know how to escape a full triangle late in the match. Thank you for your videos Sir!

@KnightJiuJitsu 5 жыл бұрын

I’m pretty sure I spent the entire video discussing the different options for different stages of early to late in the submission. You reiterated my entire point of the video, so I’m not sure what the “disservice” I’m doing is....

thanks for these escapes, they seem much better than how i normally escape the triangle, i like to or only know to stack them up. i stack them up the move around the side free arm, and press their knees down to their face. i learned to bring their chest to chin, for two reason, ones it can close their breathing and two some people are so comfy being rolled up. But i definitely like these additions. Thanks so much Sensei Knight.

i will say that as an eighties guy, (49 y/o) the only complaint i have is that as opposed to the days when i was dropping about 50 bux a pop on tapes, at least they ended. now it's like, "ok....just one more video and i will get my day started." i actually wrote a program titled..."black belt in a month" consisting of grappling, karate and conditioning regiments, and my ultimate conclusion at the end of that course is that if you do not ultimately become your own best instructor, you haven't learned a damn thing. i like to watch vids here and freeze them and go over counters or other options for the hold. sadly, all my plans were round-filed due to a chronic illness. great channel.

I got to this video after the standard triangle escape attempt didn’t work for me. The way you work through the timing of the triangle position is awesome. I’m putting myself in the triangle on purpose (one arm in one arm out) just to feel the position and to work through it. The person I’m working with is a talented brown belt (an IBJJF pan am winner). Long and lanky type, so the triangle works for him. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 to see if any of these techniques work well.
