VERY situational. I see it working, just not too often as you have to catch the triangle early and they have to be semi-retarded and zero conditioning. Easier escapes IMO but yea, getting caught in the triangle period is bad news
This actually should work. I've done it before, only I didn't have the guy on my hips. I'm a white belt, he was a blue belt. If you have the triangle without the ankle under the knee, that's like the first/second step. When he adjusts after this point, that's when you make your move. Personally, doesn't work all the time, but I'll try that hip thing, maybe that'll make a difference. Thanks!
1:17 its b/c the guy doing the triangle on the bottom is a noob notice at that part of the video he let the other guy take his hand away to try to grab his legs...thats not smart i suggest kenny florians method
You need to be a bit smart to really get this, you have to see carefully,i prove it, it DO works,but you have to do it when the other dude is making the triangle transition.
not just me. look at the other comments. not bein dispespectful or anythin here. just sayin that the guy can easily pull you back with his hips cause he's in the guard position so he's in control. best way to get out of a traingle is pushing forward and pushing his knee or something i dont know. something like that
The raise your head thing is good to know. My brown belt teacher taught me to jump onto my feet as soon as I feel it and pull the arm out immeadiately.
Yeah, he didnt actually have a triangle, this is more prevention rather than escape, its slightly dangerous cos you can get a tepee from that position
Yep!!! You need to slide your hand in between the leg and rest it on the side of your face. Then start to turn out of it. Make sure you have your hands are tied in a knot though so he can't transfer to an armbar. Cannot be submitted by doing that.
Great video, At the same time if you have a strong and wide neck and back it helps against triangle chokes. Until now i never tap out to to a triangle choke the longest held on me 6 minutes.
nah it doesnt, having a strong neck does not help at all, you're just lucky cos they havent locked it in properly, your muscle has nothing to do with it, no matter how big u are, your arteries are just as exposed as everyone else.
I am blue belt level and heavyweight. I have to admit that when i loose, 3/4 of the times, it's with a triangle choke ! The reason is, in my club we trained triangle chokes millions of times, and most of my sparring partners are good at it. That's why I feel from a good triangle you can't escape. I tried many escapes but when the triangle technique is done on a high level it's very hard. The only thing that works for me is a bodyslam. But that's forbidden in BJJ.
Wow I always thought the guillotine choke and triangle choke were inescapable. Guess you have a way out of the triangle could you post something for the guillotine?
Look up gene simco. I saw him in a live demonstration, and was pretty impressed with his approaches to escapes. He has a good ground escape, but I didn't like his standing.
A fully sunk triangle is extremely difficult to escape. Here he's defending in the early stages of the triangle setup. That's the way all the best defenses work. Know what attack is coming and defend it before the endgame.
I have to agree with you 1000%!! If your opponent has any technique deep & proper there is no chance of escape..that is why you defend in the first place, to stop the technique "before" it gets in deep..so there is no such thing as an 'escape' just improper submission!!
Good technique!

timing is the key here and not just try to muscle out of it. should also have a good base when you're postured up

that triangle demonstrated here wasnt even close to being tight, if it was completely tight he would be screwed if he tried this
