4 Awesome hacks to finish a triangle - Every time!

[@johnhagebeuk8]

The smile on Prof Tom’s face when he says be careful with this one. Really means this will mess you up really bad 😂

[@alejandroc7357]

I could feel the pain in my arm. Just by looking at it being done to the girl. Not to mention it could be really easy to over do it to a partner/opponent and break something.

[@tyhatfield7156]

I totally agree that’s like a snake you look at it he’s like a little snake that’s like 6-4 little snake but he’s awesome.

[@Thecelestial1]

Interesting. I’ve always considered the triangle a move in and of itself like a kimura or arm bar. Here I begin to understand that the trap triangle is more of a position with many subs, like mount or guard which can utilize arm bars, kimuras, strangles, wrist locks etc. Complete change in mindset, thank you for the epiphany.

[@goobypoof1508]

I like how you explain everything in detail. It makes it easier to imagine and to understand what my next move should be. Could really sense that you're a great coach! +1 subscriber from the Philippines!

Great to hear (-: Happy rolling! - Coach Tom

[@urielrivera496]

Tom, you are a phenomenal instructor, I came across your videos on my work lunch break and been hooked. Kudos, to you and your wife for showing these skill sets to your viewers for our benefit. Thank you.

[@sebastianarango6957]

I very very rarely comment but. This video deserves it! I normally finish my triangles when I set them up but there were sometimes I couldn´t do it. This video helped me not only figuring how to finish them up in those situations I couldn´t finish before but also taught me to THINK of ways to manipulate the opponent´s body so I can either finish my set up triangle or transition to something else. Thank you very much.

[@matthewschutze6744]

God damn, every video he uploads is good. it's like he's making them specifically for me

Really hope you enjoyed the video...you might want to also check out the very popular little hack to escape side control - every time! It was taught to me by my coach Prof Carlos Machado! >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6GahJqnht6Kaa8

[@peteratta3]

You are a legend. Your explanation is so thorough

[@nilehawkins7878]

Good ol Tom slick. Thanks sir.

[@markjames6324]

As always thanks for dumbing it down for me and explaining it clearly.

[@andyallen1943]

Love this. Thoroughly explained as usual. Who the heck gave this an unlike?

[@MegaLenny1000]

Did not finish my triangle today... But your Videos help heaps! I used three tips in training today, which i got from your videos. Such a progress! Thank you for that. I was in a (loose) triangle and my opponent tried to stack me and I used your wiggle out - techniquie to create more distance, which helped. But in the end he did stack me and could pass, anyway. He had a lot more weight. Is there any other tip besides wiggling? :D Cheers!

[@Arthurdankarelli]

I’m only a white belt but it’s frustrating me to no end that I only finish my triangle once in a great while. Lack of reps and short legs =shitty triangle. Thanks for this!

[@tompalmer9055]

Great tips coach Tom! I appreciate your clear, concise explanations in all your videos. Please keep them coming!!!

[@poleag]

I tried the fist in the neck today when the opponent was hiding the arm and it worked. Felt like cheating. Thank you, sir!

[@RossieHoorn]

Best triangle video I have seen. thx Tom

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thank you Marcel. I love the triangle choke, from all positions and using all variations and I hope you can finish more now with this video. Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom

[@billbaugh4404]

Such great stuff. That's it, I'm moving to Australia!

[@adrianb6193]

Coach Tom is from Australia?!

[@richardf7223]

New Zealand isnt it?

[@dadthelad]

His accent sounds Aussie, but his school is based in LA now I think?

[@Kris10000]

Very very nice, high details, understandable, just great. Great voice too.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thanks for the great feedback. Have fun on the mats (-: Coach Tom

[@mauricedebeer4300]

great info Tom, really enjoying your videos .

[@joopsnoop]

Your videos are very good. I have been enjoying all of them. Thanks! Where in Australia is your school?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Glad you like them! My academy is in Adelaide, South Australia! Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom

[@mrorbit2u]

I'm horrible at triangles and now I know why. Ty!!

[@frankcasta9701]

I like top much how you can explain step by step and always you show respect and never make any and never create an injury to the sparring partner . I have a question do you think that working slowly and calmly helps to be able to work faster in any type of confrontation where speed increases with fear and adrenaline?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Start slow and then work up speed and intensity until injury becomes a factor then back off. It’s all a balance. 🥋🤙🏼Tom Davey

[@frankcasta9701]

@@TheGrapplingAcademy Awesome!. I learn a los about yoour videos , thank you for sharing . One sugestión , could you create a videos about solo work ?

[@Croskoffyt]

Great stuff!

[@charliesims7302]

This video is awesome. Your awesome. And I like your hacks. I was over here on the first one with the knuckles saying "hey I do that one!". Just one question. Why dont you hide the other shoulder like Renner, roger, john danaher, melanson, etc etc etc.

[@danielcho3270]

Thanks coach Tom! BTW, you truly are a genius... I have no idea how you got your wife to agree to help you demonstrate moves! My wife freaks out, pinches and screams if I even posture towards her with any intention of doing BJJ, lol.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Haha Daniel very funny! My wife was never into BJJ until she saw me compete for the first time and then she got hooked! (-: Happy rolling - Coach Tom

[@HONDAKING4551]

So does mine..

[@Kphyl]

I like transitioning to omoplata in the first scenario :-)

[@fredgust84]

Do you have any tips to finish from the Overhook at closed guard ? I get to this position fairly often but can rarely evolve to a submission. Thanks, Cheers from Brazil

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

HI Fred, I love the overhook position from closed guard! In the gi, I work for the overhook arm in cross choke. By the time opponents give their attention to the choke, its often too late or they become vulnerable to triangles, omoplatas, armbars etc. In no gi, I use the overhook from closed guard more to set up arm in guillotines, omoplatas and triangles. If you are flexible, use the overhook to keep your partner's posture down and go for the gogoplata or locoplata like in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hauvqIVopr9sqa8 Enjoy (-:

[@gregjennings9442]

Fred Rodrigues : shove their far lapel down and grip it with the hand of your over hook arm. You are constantly threatening a cross choke by "Judo chopping" the neck on the near side, pulling both elbows down and tight, and compressing everything. The opponent will often get their far arm in close to break your grip, fight the choke, or whatever. You can then use your free hand to control it and push it to your gripping hand, and put a Kimura-ish grip on it. You then have great control and they are vulnerable to a triangle started by bringing your inside leg over their far shoulder. Being an old guy, and liking to slow down the game, it's one of my favorite setups. YMMV.

[@johnhagebeuk8]

Awesome video buddy 👍🏻

[@mujahedalkhudari684]

very nice vid 👌

[@pingwinson369]

Genius

[@guitarhack42]

Good teaching!

[@MossXM]

Learn these 4 triangle hacks, 60% of the time, they work everytime.

[@laceesandberg2596]

Pretty sure this video just changed my life

[@psychedguitar2716]

When i turn on subtitles it. Reads "ima planner" when he says omoplata

[@cm1212]

Hi great video. How about if your opponent stacks you or sometimes they'll stand up and toss the leg over. What do you recommend?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Good question Chris. The stack is mitigated through wiggling your shoulders backwards on the mat as you pull down on their head whilst if they stand, underhooking their knee leg is the ticket to hold them steady for the finish. Happy triangling (-: Coach Tom

[@STR3AK]

Go Jackie!! 😍

[@repa8203]

Great moves no gi

[@HardHardMaster]

4th scenario, she would just wiggle forward to compensate. thanks for all the great vids though. liked and long subscribed already.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Great comment and yes that is a great technique too! Happy training (-: Coach Tom Davey

[@NDtoker]

small detail but subtitles say coronary. the neck is the carotid artery

[@pedroam7218]

The question is... Is it legal in BJJ tournament to use the fist in carothide???

[@hatejethro1164]

Isnt that the same as the ezekiel choke? Basically a fist used for strangling.

[@Itsjust123]

what if they stand up ?? alot of ppl do that to me and i lose it

[@Spanky00Cheeks]

Spin under them, grab their leg, and sweep them so they fall basically face forward?

[@sarac5157]

I get stacked when i try to triangle. How do i avoid that?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Angle and distance (-:

[@marcobala9284]

What can I do If the opponent is way bigger than you and can't lock in?

[@co36]

Man, hate how things are looking in your country. Fight for freedom.

[@richardf7223]

Whst make gi is that?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

I think she was wearing a tatami zero g v3

[@BootyBot]

[@elisaps2840]

[@musk-eteer9898]

coach Tom will be sleeping on the couch

[@Spanky00Cheeks]

Women certainly punish, and generally dislike, knowledgeable and powerful men.

[@budimanheri3274]

Thanks prof toms, are you diet? Looks tinny..

[@DBullo100]

Thanks bro I Love you and I you've saved my live because I got in a fight last night and I just know I was doing something right triangle wise but when I went for the finish GOD was on his side and he helped him break it but anyway I was still in green way more than red either way but now for my next enemy... THEY BETTER KNOW GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Thismanisright]

A guy at my gym did the fist one to someone in my gym years ago and the other guy wanted to fight him because it was apparently a d*ck move.

[@jdpattack]

This stuff really works. Check out the video I just uploaded. I finished a strong opponent with the fist in method this weekend

[@FusionDeamon]

If you could land and finish these every time why are you not UFC champion?

[@Celokrat]

Because for one - not everyone wants to compete and take high risks of brain or any other kind of high physical damage, instead they prefer to live peacefully and help someone who wants to train and learn. For two - you might know and even demonstrate moves but when it comes to competition it's more than just knowledge & demonstration. For third - not everyone takes pleasure in damaging others. Some are masters of sports but don't go fighting as hard or/and as often as the UFC fighters.

[@Kphyl]

I like transitioning to omoplata in the first scenario :-)

[@michielvanpagee5735]

But then u wouldn't finish the triangle....

[@Lorddid]

Those are fun I love them!
