Merry Christmas everyone!! ...and special thanks to Edward Duff for helping me make this video!!! 😊

[@VincentMMALife]

Great video coach! If I may ask you a question, can you show us video with some details on a guillotine choke? How you finish it? And merry Christmas to you as well!

The arm in rear naked...i started doing this and teach it to everyone who cant tap me in the arm triangle!!! Nice

[@thaiboxerick]

Your amazing bro... thanks for all your videos. I'm a black belt in BJJ & still learning and your techn..are AWESOME !!!

[@TeachMeGrappling]

Thank you Rick! 🤙

[@leglocksdontwork4243]

Got tapped two times yesterday with the arm triangle why you didn’t upload it 3 days earlier 🤪

[@triszlers]

Leglocks Don‘t work Dude 90% of the time I get submitted it is an arm triangle. I think I’ve got a bad habit of reaching for an underhook in half guard and leaving the other arm free

[@The_Brew_Dog]

You’re a good coach Brian.

[@petergross357]

Nice video like the end w them going at it a little

[@maxlaughin9711]

I cannot thank you enough Coach Brian, most excellent Christmas gift sir! Practice, practice

[@danielashman1753]

Today i was in arm triangle and was happy to swing leg up and grab w my arms. Then i had no idea what to do and tapped. Just revisited these details now gonna rock this escape next class easy game

[@Serious-zs6qy]

I like that saying get going with your offense for there is no time for defense 👌🏾👍🏾🤔Nice in other words. Coach you sharp ✊🏾🤔👍🏾

[@begrackled]

The beautiful thing about arm triangles is that they're giant killers. Big guys with swole arms are more vulnerable if you can get into the position.

[@36hook36]

Really great techniques

[@oraclebjj]

Thanks coach P. Always great content.

I used this attack today and the lad thought I was going for the head and arm but obviously I wasn’t and got the tap , worked so good

[@GlobetrotterMioDio]

Thanks!

[@tamegomait]

Nice

[@realapproved]

love it and a great detail to one of my favourite chokes!

[@tyleroldham4676]

This is the move I get caught with more than any other in class. Thank you coach I got a nice surprise for the guy with the mean arm triangle now.

That's awesome coach, Merry Christmas!

Great video

[@sovcast8760]

When you pulled him back, instead of getting your hooks in, you could have brought your left leg up and over the top of his head and then pushed while you pulled. you can also do the Ezekiel choke without the figure four. You just hook the fingers of your arm that's closest to the mat around the outside of your other forearm near the elbow. Then you pull up with your shoulder like you did before and with your other arm you try to straighten it, that way you get both carotids. Having a bone on both sides of their neck gets the tap out or choke out really quick. It works pretty well in all the usual places where you would do and regular Ezekiel choke. it works well in the mount and even in the guard, when they try to posture up it just makes it tighter.

[@CarMad97ci]

BP is just a beast 😂 Thanks coach!

[@samuraisteve2775]

I use the counter the same way, but once the space is created, you can also swim your right arm out of the triangle and then you are fighting traditional side control.

[@c6002]

Nice!

[@KristianSalo]

That is one of my favourites. I learned it from Ryan Hall Arm Triangles DVD set. The only difference is that Hall drops fully to the the back off the opponent. ie. just lie down to your left shoulder so that your spines are aligned when the no-gi Ezekiel is set. It seem the make it even more tight. Found the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4GrZX58mpiDbpY

I almost skipped this because I thought I had seen everything. Glad I didnt, Merry Christmas!

[@michaelreeves277]

When your throwing the legs up, I grab my inside leg in s grip. What do I do if he rotated clockwise? I’m immediately back in the same position, do I turn in then?

Merry Christmas such a beautiful present 😍 Apsolutely love it and gona sub very soon to patreon, not much tho but at least something from heart 🤙

[@ashemleibakngambamoirangch5416]

Merry Christmas coach...Coach when we kimura where is the body part attacked..??? Shoulder or Deltoid or elbow...???

[@TeachMeGrappling]

Generally the shoulder but a lot of times, the elbow breaks. I know its not a straight answer but it can be either. If it was a test question, I would answer the shoulder.

[@ashemleibakngambamoirangch5416]

@@TeachMeGrappling so like the rear Deltoid...cause I feel the pressure their...more

[@xANTHQNY]

@@ashemleibakngambamoirangch5416 It's attacking the shoulder joint, not the deltoid muscles. Depending on technique it stretches the ligaments of the shoulder or elbow or both.

[@gojuboxer4224]

Sir, Could you please do a respectful review of the Gracie Combative’s Program, with specific emphasis on the pros and cons of rolling immediately versus the GCP standard of drilling for several months before rolling. Thank you in advance.

[@TeachMeGrappling]

That would be fun!

[@tagg1080]

Do you have an opinion on the top guy switching his hips to the 'scarf' position and 'stirring a pot' with their arms to get the choke?

[@TeachMeGrappling]

I don't know what you mean by "stirring the pot".

[@tagg1080]

@@TeachMeGrappling right arm choking arm makes a fist, left hand grips with c clamp, left hand pulls right hand in semi circle from their ear towards your left shoulder. It's a big circle like the wicked witch stirring her cauldron. Edit:Found an example of almost the same thing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpOaq2ychayXrJo

[@firedrive45]

Wow great counter Coach Brian! My training partner likes to go knee on belly ( close to the hip with foot on the side hugging the side) and do a pushing triangle arm choke. How do you get out of that? Can I do the same if he does that? Because he pushes into my shoulder driving his knee.

[@TeachMeGrappling]

Yeah that's tough! My best is to use a strong bridge rolling away. Waiting too long is death... early defense is paramount.

[@firedrive45]

@@TeachMeGrappling I'll try it out, thanks Coach!

[@ncooty]

@17:00: "Don't get hurt." :)

[@angrychickin]

great old school defense with great details. also, not to be "that guy", but the carotids supply oxygen to the brain, which isn't directly relevant to breathing for at least a little bit..

[@steve5284]

How about the defense of Imanari when he rolls back

[@macreacts9268]

From the counter you showed when i switch to rear naked could u instead go for an anaconda or darce type choke and just switch ur hips to finish like a normal anaconda or darce

[@charleyweinhardt]

It's sad how how many fighters in the UFC have no arm triangle defense. Even Tony Ferguson against Bobby green

Somewhere Johnny Saint is smiling at that counter.

Is Mr. Duff a Scauser? (Liverpool)

[@judobreakdowns7616]

Tbh, I think that this only works because the Kata Gatame is not really being applied properly. All of that movement that you're able to achieve with the right arm should not happen if it is being applied correctly.

[@Triception]

So...what's the counter to this counter? I was brainstorming and thought that since you make space with the defense, maybe some way to get a hand inside the attacker's grip...

[@judobreakdowns7616]

The counter is to apply Kata Gatame correctly. That right arm should not have anywhere near that amount of space.

[@mazaltopyoyos98]

Thia is my go to defense for head amd arm chokes. It amazes me how few people utilize it. I saw Wanderlei Silva use it in an anaconda choke tutorial years ago.

[@TaxEvasi0n]

I’m confused - how does it choke with only one side being cut off?

[@TeachMeGrappling]

When it is cutting correctly, that’s all that is needed.

[@skecher4]

@@TeachMeGrappling Please tell me how to defend that "counter to counter"))

[@rationalthinker9612]

Boom

[@raiklaub975]

so once you're in this position you're srewed bc there is an effective counter to the counter.

[@iliasiosifidis4532]

[@Ralpetmarc]

How come Charles Oliveira didn't get to see this video. If you study Islam you would know this chock was part of the plan. You need to watch the other fights to know that. I guess his team did not so their homework

[@rw1557]

I think you posted a thorough technique video but I'd like to point out a few things. The way that this arm triangle is set in, it's not that effective. We were taught to also drive our shoulder towards the mat, pushing our head into the arm and lowering our head position which ends up almost at the mat. This is to counter your arm going over as it does in the vid. Also, if someone does turn in as you do than we quickly walk on our toes towards their head heading North/South, and they're tapping in milliseconds. Last, the escape is over complicated. First, an arm triangle is a quick kill if done right. You won't have time to shrimp and grab your own leg (which most guys won't be able to do) anyway. Their arm strength also makes a real difference in how fast you have to escape as well. Relying on their head position as part of the escape which I also described is wrong. You need something fast and explosive to beat their power and the fact you have lost an arm and getting choked. You use what you have left, one arm and hips to escape; IN ONE MOTION grab your own wrist, post and hip switch towards them. The hip switch and by grabbing your own wrist gives you the power to drive your arm into them (like your elbowing them in the face) to create space. Since their belly down and your turned into them, the scramble begins or their back's going to get taken. If their head is there to hip switch back and roll them over great but don't rely on it.

[@TeachMeGrappling]

With respect, you may not understand this position as much as you think. There are many ways to move. Try to keep an open mind. Good luck to you. 🤙

20 freaking minutes? Are you kidding me?
