🥋 5-Tech Friday: Triangles Everywhere!

What up Flowrollers! It’s time for 5-Tech Friday…

Today’s theme is triangles. In my experience triangles are a submission that everyone learns at white belt, but then people either:

A. get great at them, or
B. completely stop doing them

I’m definitely guilty of being in camp B. Lately I’m trying to change that and at least try to shoot triangles against lower belts. Here are some videos that have helped me improve my submission rate:

1. John Danaher explains how to finish triangles even if you have short legs. Watch here.

2. Keenan Cornelius’ brown belt Jonathan “Sunshine” Fennell shares some beginner friendly triangle setups. Watch here.

3. Game changing details from Atos black belt Dom Bell. Watch here.

4. Can you finish a triangle without the arm? Absolutely, and Chad Hawkins will show you how. Watch here.

5. You gotta know how to defend triangles as well, so you can predict your opponents’ reactions! Chewjitsu teaches excellent basic triangle defense. Watch here.

Want to go deeper? Check out Firas Zahabi's “Favorite Triangle Chokes” course over at BJJ Fanatics.

Have a great weekend, and give these triangle techniques a try at open mat 🤙
