Thai-Ju-Jitsu : Triangle Escape

[truemanc]

OK if you go that way you will be finished by a good guy..... however, if you post your right hand far back on the mat.... it will work and also you will not be arm locked. :)

[badasskiller]

OZZ FAIRY TALES STYLE TRIANGLE ESCAPE

[CamDudeYouRok]

No no no no Wrongggg

[dkennell998]

No, no, no....Answer the phone, brah. Answer the phone.

[LordShandor]

@dkennell998 Won't work of he does it Ryan Hall style, it cuts off the rear arteries.

[llecnam]

great work. i think this is great. i am going to work on this technique.

[TenteixSaigo]

@llecnam Bad idea. It will just get worse.

[RocketDavillo]

Chael sonnen liked this

[MIKEISCOOL410]

wtf is thai jistu!!?

[spillrjuice]

Yeah by going this way, the choke just tightens up... If it gets to this point, i'd probably move my right arm the other direction or try to squeeze my right elbow in..

[hav2bclimbin]

stick to "Muah" thai and not Thai jitus

[Leinadarom]

just bite him in the leg or balls jajaja he will release you

[lordswit6666]

man.. i tried that once.. my opponent didnt let go.. i mean man.. i did that and the choke comes worse

[TheodoreCao]

Wouldn't moving the arm that was in the triangle assist the choke?

[dorigzz]

thats the muscle way to do it no guarantee

[TSBMMAFIGHTCLUB]

Please disgard the ( part 2 viedo responce, which is a mistake pls delete )

The Triangle is a common position and myself as a coach & athlete have experience it in competition.see how we deal with it.

,teamstreetblast.

[Susitalo]

All good, but it just will not pop open and you will get choked.

[tobalrodo1]

im sorry but i have tried that a lot of times and doesnt work

[MrPolskaDuma]

Thai-Ju-Jitsu , a mixed martial art marrying Muay Thai Boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

What a load of shit... Just like Jake Shields' American Jiu Jitsiu.

[Mrpowerbomb1]

Yeah as soon as the guy in the triangle starts to stand and stack you, grab his left leg by the ankle (overhand) and twist your hips with force to the left and your gonna dump him on his right side and then roll to a mounted triangle. If your quick enough, elbow hook his right ankle (to the inside of his leg) before you dump him.

[Team2Sexy]

@Mrpowerbomb1 im not sticking up for this guy in anyway and im by no means an expert, but if you look at 1:16 in the vid where he starts to get up, he is controlling the guys right hand as he gets up. in a gi it would be easier to hold that arm down, but the guy putting the triangle on could stop controlling the escaping guys right arm if its already locked in, and pull his hand out of reach up by his head, before it gets caught.

if he shift his hips first it would have been a tighter triangle

[6GUNSOUTH]

@Team2Sexy I see what your talking about, the way he traps down guys arm! Try that at the gym with part of another escape and see how it works. I hear ya on rotating the hips (45deg) and sinking the knee deep and getting it tight, your right that is a poor triangle attempt!

[lambofgod111]

this escape would maybe work 1 out of 100000 times. Only as soon as they lock it on, if its not secure enough yet

[todd7488]

this guy is lame

[wrestlingfool08]

This escape used to give me trouble in my first couple times running into it, but now it doesn't work on me anymore and I've only been doing bjj for 6 months now.

!. You can just underhook the leg and hug it to your head and finish the choke, since he's giving you the angle AND his arm across neck.

2. You can underhook and sweep him to mount.

3. You can transition to arm bar.

Also, no one is just going to give you their back like he does in the video. At best you'd get side control.

[darkmanafest63]

@wrestlingfool08 every time the triangle is done to me i just slam them down put i dont go against heavy weight opponets so it works for me now if i went up against some one to heavy to lift id be screwed

[wrestlingfool08]

@darkmanafest63 again, if you underhook the leg that stops them from picking you up and if they do keep trying to step the leg up to pick you up you just use the underhook to sweep them to mount. so even if your opponent isn't heavyweight, a simple "slam them 'til they let go" mentality won't always work.

[darkmanafest63]

@wrestlingfool08 yeah ii know but just becouse you under hook dosnt mean you cant get out ive gotten out of plenty of triangles even with the stupid under hook if i cant manage to lift them i jamm my elbow in to their chest ribbs or what ever i can reach but when i do that it comes down to who can handle more pain.... wich im not gonna lie lol im ussaly not the one to handle more pain in that situation ive tapped to my fair share of triangles but ive also escaped from a decent amount of them

[darkmanafest63]

@wrestlingfool08 oh yeah im not arguing with you im just stating what i know from experiance

[Jaketye]

@darkmanafest63 picking up your opponent and slamming them down will not work against anyone with some knowledge of BJJ. 

[TurkWith2Legs]

This video is terrible haha

[Jeremypsyclone]

im not crazy about this escape. It seems like anyone with a solid triangle choke would use that angle to underhook the knee and secure even better position.

[perdedor3571]

the triangle was on the instaff to begin with lol. and y not just underhook the leg? not to mention the person giving the triangle should be at an angle.

[dinhocali]

brazilian jiu jitsu... not thai it sucks

ahahahahaha

[pjtheman1]

trash

[molataz]

anybody worth there salt will sweep you to a mounted triangle if you stack like that.

[scoccerguy15]

Why wouldn't you defend it the normal way? Cause if they have long legs and hold that piece, it won't break that easy. Or they'll scoot their hips out, meaning they'll drag your head back down. And by then you'll be passed out, since a good blood/air choke can knock someone out in less than five seconds.

[grapeapes1]

the way hes defending with his arms is exactly where you wouldnt want them for the choke.

haha i think hes missing a front tooth

[HermesDo]

@grapeapes1 apart from the tooth he misses some grappling knowledge too.

[disuze]

u'll hav 2 do this extremely kwik coz if u dont tap out of the triangle u'll pass out and possibly suffer brain damage

[isquirtcheese]

tried this at the gym on friday

worked well but left you very exposed to arm bar

[Keezy73]

Amazing stuff, I'm signing up!!!

[SUPERagent007]

Boris and Yoni master! :D

[heedokush]

it would work just not against a good bjj practioners they wuld hook the leg not allowing u to fix ur poshter

[Seandog13]

wouldnt work

[cotepitbull89]

no fuck no that wouldnt work

[Sawed0ff]

I think it is good. It is better that just giving up for all you quiters out there!

[hairypitsarouseme]

Thi is not good. There is a better way to get out of a triangle choke.

[RebelWrestler45]

Great, if you feel like being mounted and triangled.

[AyzieBone]

This is complete bullshit, a triangle choke is supposed to be waaaaaaay more tight than this, and the guy doing the triangle has to go at an angle so it prevents you from lifting him up. Thai jiu jitsu? Are you fucking kidding me?

[SUPERagent007]

this guys had a thai-ju-jitsu(MMA) Sixth degree Black belt soo shut up

[hairypitsarouseme]

Whatever the fuck that means.

[Frogy771]

@SUPERagent007  YOU DAM RIGHT!!!!

[v8srghey]

oh and you need to do a proper stack with your legs at angles to avoid the double ankle sweep

[v8srghey]

this works if you do it fast... hes showing this in slowmo. as a matter of fact me at 155 was able to do it to do a 210lb man who i let put me into the choke and i said squeeze, then you must explode and you have the persons back or your back on your feet

[cqckid]

rubbish

[MPA2000]

Only works within the first half second before it is set in. Otherwise you have to count on either being choked out or that the person sucks at doing the choke.

[apmotion]

I does not work. Only if the guy at the bottom give up the Triangulo.

[ShelbyDuncan57]

reasons why this doesn't work.

1. When he stands up, grab the ankles and sweep

2. Roll him over and have a triangle from the top, he smells your balls before the lights go out.

[brakzorak86]

i'd rather be swept and give up position than be choked and lose right then and there

[TonyPacenski]

Take this off youtube

[Bajoanalga]

If a good triangle guys has it locked and you twist that way.... he is gonna mount and your gonna smell his balls as you pass out....DO NOT TRY that whack ass escape

[Bajoanalga]

Dude that shit will not work....DO NOT TRY THIS..... only if a white belt pulls a sloppy triangle and doesn't grab his shin, you can try this.......If a good triangle guy has it lo

[tauhrahm]

See what you do is beat the hell out of him with muay thai so that they get weary than when they go for the traingle they'll be sloppy. Being sweaty helps too. lol.

[judosquad]

this just make the triangle WORSE it creates the angle for his triangle to tighten.

[brunoramos13]

This may work only if a a fighter pulls a sloppy Triangle Choke.....

[jarniej]

Don't do this!!!! This guy is a nut. Rotating in that direction only makes the choke tighter and gives the guy on his back the proper perpendiclar angle he wanted in the first place. This will only get you out of real sloppy white belt triangles. GSP has some footage of how he like to get out of triangles. Not sure what the url is but check it out!

[Kevinrasadio]

the way i was taught, you also have to step your foot over their head

[vc432]

Picking them up and slamming isn't always the best thing to do plus that triangle choke is pretty crappy because the arms are usually on your side making it hard for them to move but in this case he just left them free for a counter.

[cyclissmo]

Against a sloppy triangle (like the one demonstrated here) and an inexperienced opponent, this escape *may* work.

[darkmanafest63]

@cyclissmo that escape will work regaurdless of who its done to its a pro escape well not any one if the person is to heavy to lift your screwd lol

[ChicanoRockero]

the guy isnt going to let go by just turning him to the side.....thai ju jitsu? wtf is this

[fearlessfighter2006]

yeah right now thai's have their own escape... and their calling it thai jujitsu triangle escape when its just an ordinary escape...... bs

[guerilla619]

lol what a triangle lock.. usually isnt it executed youing both legs not one arm one leg??

[papeluso]

What happens if the guy on the bottom uses his left arm to grab your ankle and keep you from standing up?

[woohoo7890]

actually you can still stand up if he would grab your ankle

[sarsattacks]

If somebody stands up like that, I would actually use my RIGHT arm and underhook the guy's left ankle. I can then rotate and get a better angle (my calf parallel over his shoulders) and this will also shift the balance and he rolls over and I can finish the triangle.

The technique shown is not gonna work with an experienced person.

[bushinonasake]

Standing up when caught in a triangle isnt a very good idea, watch Manhoef-Mousasi. As a triangle expert myself I know this wont work but actually accelerate the finish since youre moving in the direction it will create the angle for the finish.

Appreciate your effort to show this, keep training and sparring!!

[b3ng34nc3]

roger gracie has an incredible standing triangle escape.

watch?v=J71vyjW8_6U

1:13 and 1:35

I have been taught a couple standing triangle escapes from very experienced grapplers, and use one of them as my go to.

[chargerpimp1]

dude if u stand up and pick him or her up like a power bomb and slam them its a great idea

[vginawhisperer]

What is Thai Jiu-jitsu? There's no such thing.

[CageFighter258]

thats what i thought when my friend told me

[fearlessfighter2006]

they just wish they had lolz... they just copied this from the book then renamed it lolz

[RobJT]

This is not a good escape. Anyone decent at grappling will underhook the leg as soon as your step up, bad move.

[Infantry1982]

I agree...

If the guy is an experienced grappler (with strong, flexible legs) he will still have that triangle locked even when he is on his stomach.

[ishbla]

how can he underhook the leg if his arm is pinned to his chest.

[RobJT]

The guy applying the triangle is always going to be in a much better position to control the arm positioning.

Regardless, even if the guy with the triangle on couldn't escape his arm, that escape still isn't going to work on anyone other than a novice.

Another point is that the guy doing the escape is begging to be armbarred when he stands. Cupping his own elbow will not prevent that.

Just a poor escape all round.

[Darkray16]

@RobJT yea that's what I would do. The only way to stack up without risk of sweeping is to keep your feet far from the reach of his hands but then this technique might not work.

[patrickangus16]

@RobJT

excuse me I didn't understand; you mean anyone decent at grappling would open the triangle for him not to get up??? It ś not an ironic question, I didn get that

thanks

[RobJT]

@patrickangus16 "...open the triangle?" - do you mean the guy attacking or escaping?

I have no idea what you are asking me. I said the guy attacking would underhook the leg - it stops the guy escaping from standing and gives you a potential sweep.

[darkmanafest63]

@RobJT lol the triangle was done on me the other day O_O i just picked him up and slamed him down a few times but this escape looks likes it will take less energy

[soiler101]

@RobJT he had wrist control he just didnt say it. its not bad

[RobJT]

@soiler101 lol, good luck keeping their arm trapped like that. It's shitty technique, plain and simple. The guy applying the triangle isn't doing it properly and the escape is just horrible.

[soiler101]

@RobJT lol yea no doubt...but ur dumb defense can get u crucified...against a dumb fuck u'll do good...keep hating on videos and think ur good at fighting...NERD

[RobJT]

@soiler101 I'm sure your parents regret you.

[soiler101]

@RobJT im sure ur gay

[soiler101]

@RobJT im sure ur gay and live on the internet so shut the fuck up already kid

[soiler101]

@RobJT im sure ur gay and live on the internet.

[NotAHeroJustADad]

@RobJT

this is a good escape for someone who is already in a stuck position. How many guys on the bottom are going to let go with their left arm, or right arm to defend that turn over? none, they would hold onto the extended arm (in this case defender is able to get his stuck arm bent) and thrust with their hips even facing the floor to get the arm bar, but in this case given ur already stuck and can get ur arm bent to avoid the bar, this is a good escape. L2jitsu

[RobJT]

@NotAHeroJustADad No dude, it's a terrible escape. The guy applying the triangle isn't doing it tight enough to start with, but the escape is still rubbish. Main points...

He steps up far too loosely which anyone good will take advantage of by underhooking the leg,

He doesn't protect the arm inside the triangle, gripping your own elbow is pointless,

He turns the wrong way, which would infact tighten the triangle.

RUBBISH TECHNIQUE.

[balentongkalabog]

@RobJT yeah ur right..

it seems this guy on vid like to introduce how the importance of body position will work in ur opponent..

[josa619]

cool dude

know i need to prove it to

see if it works

[honda535]

good technique but is a little flawed it requires a lot of strength to turn them when there not willing and if the choke is tight and you hug his leg like that you will prob pass out before you finish the move. but that said if your being choked and have exausted all other avenues to get them off then why not try it... unexpected things do sometimes work....

[dyjfgffjffjffsjsfj]

Good Point but if you are explosive enough and move quickly, the element of surprise will allow you to turn him before he realizes what's going on.

[kermdakusset]

it s good to know but mostly, it s hard to escape from an triangle, especially it you tight.

[D3Limits]

yeah true dats a weak triangle choke.

[mindmagition]

the triangle choke is not is not done right

[dynamike24368]

uhhhhhhh not sure that would work

[vincespell]

I like to see you escape like that on anyone that knows how to properly apply the triangle is not going to let someone escape that easy! Hell if it was that easy I would have gotten out of it when my girl slapped it on me. it is no way that easy to escape from a Japaneese triangle or Brazilian triangle. Once it's locked in and his head is being pulled down your not getting out unless you had leverage in the first place meaning you were too high up to get that lock tightly around you!

[ddawg2324]

well for one you want to stay to the side so he can't lift you or throw punches. and if he decided to try to move to the side you just simply take your left leg over his head and force him to his side with his arm and armbar him.

[BELAGAAL]

WHat happens when u stand and he grabs ur left leg pulls it out and u end up mounted with the triangle still on? Nothing beats gracie jiu jitsu im sick of all these new styleslike korean jiu jitsu thai jitsu...u can innovate something that has reached near perfection...but still good for the first timer on his first lesson...

[statechamp86]

Be nice BELAGAAL im also both BJJ and KJJ thing is more you try the more you keep your eye out for you know and that is with love brother cool latter.

Very nice Idea and guys work it and make sure all works.

[siniqdrakon]

you guys are absolutely right, this is bullshit, but dont blame them for experementing, but if these guys are going to teach this stuff wuy dont they test it first it seems like this is somthing he just thaught up today

[Tapeveryone666]

sissies!!!!!

[1lostinspace]

lol thanks need a good laugh

[derekmcgoldrick]

Rubbish. This would only work if the opponent on the ground just lay there instead of lifting themselves and moving with you.

[vonshiznitz]

Is that Dave Chapelle??

[Aztecalt1997]

r they Thai or African-American?

cuz I have Thai friends who look african-american.

[netozimm]

it's the only thecnic to leave a triangle that really works vs a graduate fighter...

[brucewayne72]

You are correct about moving to an angle when applying a triangle, but I think that this video is still very helpful. Not all practitioners are able to move as quickly when applying a choke.
