another thing, everyone of your techniques is shown with very little resistance! like in this video the triangle isnt even 100% tight. i wish you guys would make it more "real" or at least add more resistance so that it makes the move look effective. im sorry if my opinion seems harsh but i actually like watching your videos i can say that i ive learned a lot from you guys. im just saying with this technique and others you make it look too easy.
@juneda33 These are INSTRUCTIONAL videos. That is how techniques are taught. No one learns a move if your partner is resisting in the beginning. It is done this way to show all the steps and break it down in a correct manner. If not, it simply becomes a grappling match. If there is too much resistance to get this move, you need to switch to another. That is what jiu jitsu is about.
It's not really relevant to the particular video, but as a new bjj practitioner my self ( white belt) I have to say that your videos are very controversial. Some like them and some hate them. I personally think you are doing a great work.
@gioelio Yep. Can't please all the people all the time and the internet allows anyone with fingers to type anything they wish. Take what you want, leave the rest. Isn't CHOICE a wonderful thing? Roll on !
@gioelio im a white belt also and i just realized we shoudnt talk shit cuz we havent done this long enough to truly understand the game and bash moves weve hardly explored.
I love watching your movies, every submission, sweep or escape is explain great and although I can't use it in practice it's very enjoying for me to see the real power of jiu-jitsu and grappling. I want to thank you guys because you are great! :)
I have a gym rival that does this to me EVERY TIME I triangle him. The only difference is that he puts his feet in my arm pits which makes it impossible for me to reposition while he pries my legs open. Now I know how to do it! Remember though, the best cure is prevention!
Thanks for this tutorial, now i can survive to triangles very easily ! I saw this video like 3 months ago and I havn't been submitted by a triangle since then, and have used this technique lots of times, I've be getting a little of trouble by the position you end after executing this, It would be great to have some next moves advices... Still worth a million dollars ... again thanks !
this technique is great, i've tried using it for the past two weeks. Obviously it wont always work when your opponent knows what your doing so you need to pull this off fast. the only problem is when you forget the little details, like always pinning down youre opponents body down. i rushed this move too fast and ended up with my opponent mounting me. other than that, great video and thanks for posting it.
Question, couldn't crossing your feet on their belly backfire on you? Take crossing your feet while holding a rear naked choke for example. If you do, then the person trying to defend the choke can just make a figure 4 over your feet and submit you by prying your feet down. Couldn't the guy doing the triangle do something similar with your feet here as well if you have them crossed?
@CavemanProductions29 dana's overreacting. i gaurentee if diaz is in good health he will put him back in an apolagize, or maybe they're forcing him to cause they want to keep their poster boy.
Ah good sir, probably a stupid question, but seeing as I'm only a novice I suppose no question is stupid. But anyway, how wary of a leg submission should I be while doing this?
@CavemanProductions29 an btw gsp lost 2 of 5 round to shield almost entirley striking.
jake shield. arguably the worst striking in the ufc ww div.
the truth is (and i dnt care if you understand since you'll see in october) diaz has a answer for where ever gsp can put the fight. gsp wana lay n pray, diaz's gaurd is too good, gsp want to bang (god forbid) he'll get picked apart like everyone else, i dare gsp to put his glass jaw to the test.
@CavemanProductions29 y would they stand w/ someone w. ko power? kos dsnt have ko power? no, he just sucks at striking and should probably work on it since wheneva he gets a well rounded opponent he gets embarrased.
kos did not dominate, he squeaked out a decision, by huggin and causing vertually no damage, much like gsp/chael
gsp got ktfo and subbd. funny how he tapd both times.
nick has never been really been finished.
2 quote the future ww champ. "i don't lose fight i run outa time
@CavemanProductions29 gsp doesn't even know how to finish a armbar that he was given. nick was destroyed in the ufc? he had 3 losses due to a stalling gameplan cause no one really wants to scrap with nick.
plus 2 of em were considered robberies. nice mma math w/ kos n daley lol. did kos beat daley standing? nope he was scared shitless so he stalled.
dana didn't let nick back in the ufc, untill he was the only real challenge gsp has had since tappin to strike by serra an gettin subd by hughes
@CavemanProductions29 i mean diaz beats his opponents where his opponents are best. who ktfso of daley? oh, no one. where ever gsp trys to take the fight diaz will outclass him, no hiding now homie.
chaels been on roids bro, an he still cant finish a fight
@Nick209Diaz diaz an his fans are the one that got the fight, gsp doesn't wanna fight the best, he would've asked for the diaz fight but he didn't, he would move up to mw but he doesnt cause he know what would happen.
finishing a fight isn't important? lol your a zuffa zombie bro, theres a reason anderson is considered the greastest of all time, gsp will never have the legacy compared to fedor or anderson.
in the end anderson will have the highlight reel in which he will be rememberd. gsp? no.
@CavemanProductions29 nick diaz is about to be the be considered the best welterweight in the world. chael sonnen is a troll that can't defend submissions and needs roids to compete.
For someone who has many years experience in different styles of martial arts I can tell you that the triangle choke applied in this video was done improperly. If done properly it would be harder to get out of especially for an untrained person.
For this technique to work properly you need to have one of the person's arms in his own throat before applying the triangle choke, which was not shown in the video.
Very good escape, another escape from the triangle that I find much easier is almost the same, after you stand up and you sink your butt down. put your feet on the opponent's armpits, then lean back and it should break the triangle with little energy
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! The one thing I've always lacked in MMA is my Submission defense and I'm always getting caught in Triangles, and kimuras so thank you so much :)
ha wasn't fully in^^...I think it's a really good technique to try if someone attempts a triangle...if the opponent get's it perfectly the first time (in one move) then the triangle is very difficult to escape (ask fedor =D) but mostly it's a bit of a scramble and then it's good to have such a technique to try something instead of just waiting until air and blood are gone =)
A spinning elbow strike works too, just ask Jon Jones... but I would never teach it as a valid technique. I mean if you want to use a lot of high risk, low success moves in your game, then go for it. A good instructor shouldn't be dazzling his students with all the cool stuff that 'could' work and stick to the basics.
This technique didn't work to well for Chael Sonnen lol. Your arm is left in the perfect position for a triangle armbar. I like the step across the head and sit method, it hurts your opponent and puts you in position for ankle locks, or atleast a good scramble for a new position
in no gi u dont even have to pry out but slip out once you get the feet on the stomach. Watch out for arm bars...so do it quick...either way...u shouldnt of got in that position in the first place.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not a valid technique! I say try anything when you need to escape, but this is not technically sound. When securing a triangle from guard, one of the essential steps is to hook a leg and swing out to deepen the lock. This 'escape' puts the feet right where you want them, also, even if the lock is broken, the person pushes your feet away and takes mount. Again, not a valid technique.
@redrivermma Absolute statements for martial arts are something to avoid. I've used this many times and have seen it used many times. I've seen high level instructors TEACH this as well. Does it work 100% of the time? Of course not. Nor does an arm bar but we never question that. If the triangle is broken and even creates a scrabble, you have survived the attempt. Not all moves work on all people 100% of the time. If they did, we'd only need one move for everything.
@Submissions101 Wont that give the opponent a Ankle Lock though? Since your legs will be on there body so they could reach out and just catch you from there?
@Submissions101 There are so many techniques of offense and defense for every move...all I got to say is that I got saved from a triangle choke today by using this technique. My opponent was all confuse. LOL. Like I said again...so many techniques of offense and defense to remember just for one move lol.
@Layz613 I don't buy it. Did you actually use it in full resistance? Have you seen it done in a tournament? If I put a triangle on someone and they pull back to beat it, I would definitely close it with the leg hooked and it'd be done.
@redrivermma ADCC 2005- Xande Ribeiro vs Roger Gracie
Roger uses this technique to escape a fully-locked triangle by Xande. Roger Gracie is perhaps the most accomplished BJJ artist on the planet, and arguably the pound for pound best grappler ever. If this is his choice of triangle defense, it's mine too.
@redrivermma i get what you mean, a good triangle, you just wont get out, a good armbar, gogo plata, whatever it may be, if its done properly you wont get out unless its in a late round and you're both fucked. this technique does work however, i've used it in round 2 of a competition and mercifully it broke the triangle :)
@redrivermma My teacher once locked me in a HELL of a triangle. I was about to tap, like the room was going black, and he was double my weight with 20x the experience. I sat on my butt, wrapped my legs and pried out of it and actually escaped and got back to my feet. As he stood, my trainer said "Very good!' and mentioned it was a high level technique. It does fucking work, you don't know what you're tlaking about. I used it in a crazy situation with crazy odds and escaped.
most people i have grappled with are slow to get a correct triangle, this is great for when they have started to put one on but arent in correct position. just be fast about.
you can fall back into a leg lock after that right? that would be the most sensible thing to do. i nver would have thought to do that. wow cool stuff thanks for showing me all these helpful videos. i appreciate them.
its harder for this to work if the guy performing the triangle is doing everything right...in this video he doesnt have the triangle all the way locked up, and hes not using his arms. You guys should do a real demonstration, as if its a mma match and hes really tryin his best to choke you out, try get out of that.
uhh.. the easiest way to survive a triangle is to put your hands on your head to push your neck farther up and relax, travis lutter did this against anderson silva, though lutter still lost he lasted a long time while in the choke.
true b/c you will be allowing them o waste their energy, but u put your self in danger at every moment b/c they may push your hand across your neck at any moment. I would suggest that after you have tried the other methods or between thinking of what to do next if your first attempt fails.
easiest way i counter a triangle is... posture! just sit straight up as hard as you can. just dont extend your arms other wise they make you tap by arm bar
Have you watched Jason MacDonald vs Demian Maia ? Sometime during the fight Jason was caught in a Triangle and kinda did an inverted sit and pry, if I'm not mistaken
Man do these escapes work. these guys present a series of escapes and I've used about two with great results ... One thing good to remember is your bodtype . A person should view a technique and think of it as a template and then modify it to your body type, height ,and weight.
Quick question, in the first demonstration he squats down and hooks his legs on top of the opponents chest and crosses his ankles. In the second the ankles aren't crossed. Now i know from rear guard if the ankles are crossed a triangle lock can be put on the crossed ankles and submission obtained, can this be transferred to this situation?
Good escape. But as a white belt I can't do leg locks (that's how it is under Louisiana Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Federation rules, I don't know if that's how it is under other rules), so how could I be able to finish after I escape?
im sure submissions101 has a video on this but another way to escape is from 0:28 . stand up. grab onto guys left arm with both hands. place your heel into his armpit. and sit back. does it have a name?
On the first demonstration you started to cross your feet when you put them on his chest (from then on you didnt), is there a risk of getting ankle locked from that? and I had another question but I forgot what the hell it was!
Great techniques man i love your guys videos i wish you had a dvd set or something ive started doing alot more ground work and this has helped me alot ! can u guys do a series about passing the gaurd
I have a question, when I put my heels on his belly, I think it is pretty good position for him, he can do leg lock doesn´t he?? I think think this is super escape from triangle but I m affraid of leg lock. Thx for help :)
dood you guys are AWESOME, Im a leg lock guy and this is AMAZAZING for breaking the triangle, but does this have a high success % on the tepee or deadbolt?
This is sick! I hate when people and or schools post escapes that are too complicated or so flashy you know they wont work in real life or a tournament. Keep it simple. When youre in the shit you go into caveman mode. You dont have time to think of all the super fancy, flashy shit some places teach you. This and Bas Ruttens triangle escape to knee bar are by far the two best and most practical escapes Ive ever seen.
@odds87 Well, the point is to recognize the triangle and counter it before it is deep. If he's controlling your head, odds are he's deep in and you're gonna tap. ha. This works good, if you can get your head up and keep your opponet from getting it sunk in deep. It also works good on a tight triangle if he's not too strong.
Most people can't put you into an instant triangle unless your like a stickman, even then any resistance could leave his leg across your back rather than your neck.
If you let yourself get into a "good triangle" then your counter is to tap...lol
im pretty sure hed still be able to prop up on you and get mount or triangle from top even tho u put ur hands on his stomach thats not gonna be enough to keep him down.
I would not recommend to cross your feet on the persons torso ,because if the person is strong enough he could clap down on your ankles just as if someone crosses their feet when taking your back, it can hurt your ankles. I would try to put to bottom of my feet together or put them in his arm pits while pulling back
once his butt hits the ground and sit, theres no way he can get the submission off. worse comes to worse itll be annoying, or may put strain on ur back if he does pull on ur head from the sitting position , but it wont be enough to make u tap,
and the laying back thing is just to way to break it once uve alrdy canceled his submission
this is actually a better way to then posturing up becuz he cant switch to an armbar
excellent trick! ill definitely use it next tournament!!
Awesome move a couple questions though. I notice he isnt grabbing onto your head. Do you have to start this escape before he grabs your head or is it still possible to get out? If he does grab onto your head does it really just come down to whoever is stronger?
only if you have a frail back and he had alot (i mean ALOT) of weight on you.
otherwise, if he's tight, chances are he comes up when you stand up, one thing i've been taught is, if you and your opponent are tight and locked up, you become one body (in a sense)
i found a great way to get out the triangle , i like to grab the lapel of their gi with my free hand , or pull on one of their arms in nogi ,then as their head raises up , put my foot next their head and then triangling them as well or even just clasping you feet together underneath his back , if you pull your body back as you do it its similar to this escape , the pressure just breaks open their legs , but the bonus being that alot of the time you will be left in more advantageous postion ,
Yeah I remember that fight. Xande Ribeiro had a triangle fully sunk he was side on AND he had Gracie's leg underhooked! Gracie should've been toast. He used THIS technique to escape...From a world champion! That is pretty much as strong an endorsement that you can get for any technique!
@Submissions101 Remember chael sonnen tried this escape when he was fighting anderson silva, beat him for 5 rounds and got caught in the triangle, didn't work for him but he didn't get in close enough, he should've watched this haha- really helpful videos lads thumbs up for subs 101
Great fact. Xande is an amazing grappler and escaping a full on triangle with an underhook is just unthinkable. So YES, this definitely works if done properly.
sorry 4 yuenj01, i dont know this guy, but all moves on your profile are really great some of them r to advanced for somer ppl to understand, but i think ur moves are realistic, simple and powerful, so please keep updating you web site and ur profile, and discard this comments
it works, but i find it works better if you put your feet into his armpits and push him away and then pry. also when you stand up if youre quick enough you can sink your feet into his armpits and stand straight up. that ones a bit trickier because he can hook your feet if you arent careful and push you over.
@yuenj01 Yea I use this all the time. Granted it's not as easy as it looks in the video. You will be sitting there prying for quite awhile but your not passing out, which is the important part.
@yuenj01 I use this escape all the time. Works, just not as easy as in the video of course. You will be sitting there prying for awhile but your also not going to sleep. It'll get you out, just leaves in some ridiculous scramble at the end, but hey, better than getting choked
@yuenj01 no it works i tried the triangle choke 2 a guy in my judo class he did this n got out.....but the next class i just held his head close 2 me n pulled his arm up high n he tapped =)
@yuenj01 Works great. I use it all the time, but have long legs. Seems to work well if you cross one leg over his neck to opposite side of head, discovered by accident, but again, I have long legs.
I teach something similiar to my guys, buy we stand and put a knee in the taint and then sit straight down and pry. We call it, charmingly enough, "The Taint Smasher". Puts them in a more uncomfortable position.
Roger Gracie performed something similar against Xande I think it was Xande, Roger sat back but scooted forward and then began to pull back escaping his trapped arm through the now open legs of Xande it was brillant.
if only Sonnen has seen the video..

My opponent was all confuse. LOL. Like I said again...so many techniques of offense and defense to remember just for one move lol.

@Layz613 I don't buy it. Did you actually use it in full resistance? Have you seen it done in a tournament? If I put a triangle on someone and they pull back to beat it, I would definitely close it with the leg hooked and it'd be done.

@redrivermma ADCC 2005- Xande Ribeiro vs Roger Gracie
Roger uses this technique to escape a fully-locked triangle by Xande. Roger Gracie is perhaps the most accomplished BJJ artist on the planet, and arguably the pound for pound best grappler ever. If this is his choice of triangle defense, it's mine too.

@redrivermma i get what you mean, a good triangle, you just wont get out, a good armbar, gogo plata, whatever it may be, if its done properly you wont get out unless its in a late round and you're both fucked. this technique does work however, i've used it in round 2 of a competition and mercifully it broke the triangle :)

@redrivermma My teacher once locked me in a HELL of a triangle. I was about to tap, like the room was going black, and he was double my weight with 20x the experience. I sat on my butt, wrapped my legs and pried out of it and actually escaped and got back to my feet. As he stood, my trainer said "Very good!' and mentioned it was a high level technique. It does fucking work, you don't know what you're tlaking about. I used it in a crazy situation with crazy odds and escaped.

This is a weak triangle, you have to be almost at a 90 deg angle towards his body, and your leg over the neck should almost be straight.

its harder for this to work if the guy performing the triangle is doing everything right...in this video he doesnt have the triangle all the way locked up, and hes not using his arms. You guys should do a real demonstration, as if its a mma match and hes really tryin his best to choke you out, try get out of that.

easiest way i counter a triangle is... posture! just sit straight up as hard as you can. just dont extend your arms other wise they make you tap by arm bar

ripsaw111 1 year ago
Quick question, in the first demonstration he squats down and hooks his legs on top of the opponents chest and crosses his ankles. In the second the ankles aren't crossed. Now i know from rear guard if the ankles are crossed a triangle lock can be put on the crossed ankles and submission obtained, can this be transferred to this situation?

This and Bas Ruttens triangle escape to knee bar are by far the two best and most practical escapes Ive ever seen.

odds87 1 year ago
@odds87 Well, the point is to recognize the triangle and counter it before it is deep. If he's controlling your head, odds are he's deep in and you're gonna tap. ha. This works good, if you can get your head up and keep your opponet from getting it sunk in deep. It also works good on a tight triangle if he's not too strong.

Most people can't put you into an instant triangle unless your like a stickman, even then any resistance could leave his leg across your back rather than your neck.
If you let yourself get into a "good triangle" then your counter is to tap...lol

I would not recommend to cross your feet on the persons torso ,because if the person is strong enough he could clap down on your ankles just as if someone crosses their feet when taking your back, it can hurt your ankles. I would try to put to bottom of my feet together or put them in his arm pits while pulling back

phate1313 2 years ago 3
nah it works
once his butt hits the ground and sit, theres no way he can get the submission off. worse comes to worse itll be annoying, or may put strain on ur back if he does pull on ur head from the sitting position , but it wont be enough to make u tap,
and the laying back thing is just to way to break it once uve alrdy canceled his submission
this is actually a better way to then posturing up becuz he cant switch to an armbar
excellent trick! ill definitely use it next tournament!!
JiGsAwBoYd 2 years ago
seems like you can use this for a arm bar as well but you have to do it quicker before he raises his hips to sink it in
ASANKramer05 2 years ago
Awesome move a couple questions though. I notice he isnt grabbing onto your head. Do you have to start this escape before he grabs your head or is it still possible to get out? If he does grab onto your head does it really just come down to whoever is stronger?
Teutonic07 2 years ago 3
if he was tight on u would u snap ur back doing that ? ..
ssflip 2 years ago 2
only if you have a frail back and he had alot (i mean ALOT) of weight on you.
otherwise, if he's tight, chances are he comes up when you stand up, one thing i've been taught is, if you and your opponent are tight and locked up, you become one body (in a sense)
iyuks 2 years ago
i found a great way to get out the triangle , i like to grab the lapel of their gi with my free hand , or pull on one of their arms in nogi ,then as their head raises up , put my foot next their head and then triangling them as well or even just clasping you feet together underneath his back , if you pull your body back as you do it its similar to this escape , the pressure just breaks open their legs , but the bonus being that alot of the time you will be left in more advantageous postion ,

yuenj01 2 years ago 16
it works, but i find it works better if you put your feet into his armpits and push him away and then pry. also when you stand up if youre quick enough you can sink your feet into his armpits and stand straight up. that ones a bit trickier because he can hook your feet if you arent careful and push you over.
uchi00 2 years ago
yes it works. this is my go to triangle escape. And it works with striking too he cant hit you from that far away. Another detial not covered here:
Make sure you squeeze his thigh like a vice it loosens the triangle making it easier to explode out.
