Escape FULLY LOCKED Triangle Choke - Henry Akins

[@josephtardio1086]

I attended a Jits seminar w/ Henry Akins.. he's a great teacher and knows Jiu-Jitsu as well as anyone.

[@odinzraider591]

"You feel that?" "AGHHHHGHGHGGGHHH!" By golly I think he does.

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

I use this escape all the time. It works so well. Get the shoulders square to your body, bring their hips over the shoulder girdle and the legs will pop right open. Watch where he puts the arm to counter armbar followups.

[@dzenx9861]

3:57 lol “Aaaghhh”

[@Dom-os8vt]

I’m so glad you exist, I’m a white belt and your videos are helping me progress so much quicker

[@tmaharisoa]

Holy molly, I escaped a triangle from a blue belt triangle specialist lol and from my black belt coach! this technic is so amazing and so "easy" to use! thank you for sharing!!!

[@theinfjgoyim5508]

I love verbal taps, "tap tap tap". Bernardo lol you take such a beating bro, respect. It mighy not look like much but if your spine stays straight the pressure is preserved and then he transfers it all too the first area that gives which is the neck. I think this guy is by far the best guy I have seen on your show/channel. He reminds me of how Americans use to be very smart. Well done.

[@HiddenJiuJitsu]

Thanks so much for your kind words

[@horsefucker1866]

Thank you as well great work as always sir!

[@drewp1974]

Every time I watch these cool tricks, I can’t WAIT to get on the mats tomorrow and test em out. 😊❤️

[@hensen5309]

This is amazing. I usually block the head with my arm on the same side and walk the opposite way forcing my opponents head to press on my forearm crunching their back

[@thiagocustodio8177]

12 years of BJJ ....first time I've seen this

[@user-vf5xk1bf7y]

Hopefully it's the last time

[@lautarogonzalezdecap6302]

Bernardo's second burst was very funny.

[@TollerZero]

good technique, need to try

[@rabbitsnrayguns]

Oh no Bernardo was worried about his neck fur a second there. Must really hurt.

[@woozzification]

The comment section: "seems dangerous for your neck" Anyone whose trained for a decent period of time: "LMAO welcome to jiu jitsu"

[@marat304]

Damn, I have watched so many video instructions. And every time found such little and very important basic details

[@HiddenJiuJitsu]

Glad you enjoyed this

[@GrizzlyRy]

Henry got some cool old school tricks

[@HiddenJiuJitsu]

Thanks Grizzly!

[@arlesblueman1161]

Huge fan, seems dangerous

[@HiddenJiuJitsu]

Definitely want to go slow when learning this

[@jiujitsustudent604]

This seems like something you have to feel to understand fully. I get the idea, but I don’t think that I could just step out on the mat and make this work by watching it on a video.

[@HiddenJiuJitsu]

yes, you defintely need to feel it

[@kennylovesbjj]

I made it work in my third attempts and I still remember after these years...

[@btd1231ify]

I tried this technique twice yesterday. Success at first, second time I lost my strength and tapped hahaha

[@ebwhite21]

This is such a dangerous move and can really injure the person on the bottom so that they may never do bjj again.. Great move to get out of triangle but surprised it’s being taught. Imagine snapping your opponents neck..

[@MrREDanvil]

Where do I get those courses that Henry mentioned? Thanks!! Great content as usual!!

[@cannedtuna55]

Sorry if this is a total noob question, but why not take a cross collar grip with the free hand to prevent the shoulder walk instead of using the hand that's inside the triangle? Wouldn't this dramatically reduce the armbar threat?

[@user-vf5xk1bf7y]

Great! Now we can all end up like Rickson with contant severe back pain!

[@notoriousspb]

This is one of those techniques that looks super effective for comp but I wouldn't feel comfortable utilizing in training. Just not worth it. If you are in a fully locked triangle with a training partner your last gasp move shouldn't be pressuring their cervical spine. There's just always those guys on the mats that cannot be trusted with stuff like this.

[@imitchellgill]

I'm with you. I have a couple of escapes I like to use, but I'm not willing to use one that hurts my training partner's neck. Perhaps drilling it slowly and carefully for someone who is an avid competitor makes sense? It IS good technique, but we're in this for the long haul. I don't want to retire anyone by accident.

[@dosage13]

good partner. yes its not worth it for hobbyist compressing someones neck in that way.

[@ross7968]

???? They can let go of the triangle at any point!

[@MidlifeMark]

💯 agree.

[@jameshoyt3692]

@@ross7968 Yes I agree. It's more the responsibility of the bottom guy to let go of the triangle or tap. Of course the top guy doesn't need to explode into the escape.

[@jeskow19]

Ahhhh the old break your opponent's neck move. Nice.

[@tieoneon5240]

are you more pushing down on the shoulder as you continue to press forward or your arm is pushing on the artery ? and would it work/help if the arm would fold into the throat? I know THAT is not what you are trying to show here thanks for another standout instructional

[@drewfiles7475]

Don't hurt Bernardo 😂

[@SKgyebaek]

Seems a little dangerous especially if the top person is a lot heavier than the bottom player

[@todd2324]

I agree. I think that is why it's especially important for the bottom player to know when to abandon the move.

[@amorestperpe]

Someone is actively trying to and very close to killing you and you're worried about the defense being "dangerous"...

[@alexrosario423]

Hmm. I think it's enough to just use their weight, since its more about the placement of the weight as opposed to the weight itself. Does seem a little risky.

[@kirito3082]

​@@todd2324it's also especially important to make sure your partner knows the move and is ok with it being done to him

[@Danlovestrivium]

@@kirito3082 A lot of people watching Henry Akins videos don't understand his vision of BJJ. He doesn't view this as a sport, he sees it purely as self defense/fighting. Because of this, some of the techniques he shows aren't designed with training partners in mind. When he said in this video that this is a "last ditch escape", he's quite literally talking about your last chance at defending yourself against an attacker.

[@KingSquirtle999]

I dont think I'll do this to the homies in the gym.

[@HelloUser453]

Bro setting himself up to either go to sleep or be caught in a armbar

[@TonyFernandezjkdjedi]

This worked the first time I tried this escape ...and it got me choked out the second time I tried this escape....😒

[@GINO-MANSUR]

Work for escape to teepee choke?

[@dieselx999]

But what if you make angles to finish the triangle? Not sure if the escape works if you make angles and underhook the leg

[@tjnxray]

U rock

[@hhspector3006]

goat move yo

[@jeankia2028]

Hi guys, tried this several times I must be doing something wrong cause I get rolled and end up in a mounted triangle, any idea on what could be my mistake ?

[@alexcardoso4487]

I think it doesn't work if you apply the triangle like Danaher teaches.

[@jojojoget4988]

isnt the armbar there to take?

[@OutperformMP]

He addresses it in the video

[@Ashrams_life]

I literally can't wait to try this escape. I am one of the newest members at my gym. I am constantly getting entangled by my more experienced team mates. Hopefully I can use this to help keep myself in the fight a bit longer.

[@urbansamurai261]

When passing the guard place your knees on your opponents thighs and use your legs as much as your arms. Oss goodluck brother

[@Ashrams_life]

@@urbansamurai261 I always appreciate any tips I receive. Thank you!

[@HiddenJiuJitsu]

Just remember to go slow when practicing this escape so you don't injure your training partner, practice like I was doing with Bernardo, without them squeezing so you're not rushed

[@Ashrams_life]

@@HiddenJiuJitsu Yes Professor. Very good point. One of my biggest training flaws is trying to go too fast. Thank you for the reminder. I appreciate these videos greatly!

[@thefitgm335]

I think it's more important to drill other triangle escapes, prior to it being fully locked as a beginner. Focus on understanding the principles of staying out of a triangle, and getting out of a triangle right off the initial jump.

[@Hazama91350]

Igor Gracie have the best submissions escape instructional ever.

[@Philip-dy3ww]

It didn’t work for me , as I m a 54 kg rolling with 70+ opponent?

[@smesh141]

Good technique, legal, but dangerous for your opponent.

[@Jamba-wl8ez]

That’s when you throw your leg over the head and arm bar them

[@drewp1974]

My shoulders are so big, I almost NEVER get triangled ( 5’11” 270lb ). But this it GOLD to remember

[@boganbogai894]

Ahh!

[@Sam-z7r2o]

if you want nobody in the gym to triangle you ever again

[@Qzou7702]

This really looks dangerous. One could be paralysed by this technique. At least I know it now and if I rekon my training partner has the intention using this on me I'd immediately tap...

[@crouchingmole]

my wife been doing this on me for a year. Legit.

[@ParkerPPipe]

So the great escape is break someone’s neck? Umm

[@yakovdavidovich7943]

Direct attack on the cervical spine to escape a triangle... hmm... it's as legal as a fish-hook or an eye gouge. Nice move in self defense, though?

[@yakovdavidovich7943]

@The Tide Rises Henry specifically said this technique isn't stacking. Looks like it's calculated to isolate and apply force directly to the cervical spine. Even Bernardo is verbally tapping because he is being submitted by it.

[@zleggitt1989]

Can't the guy on bottom just transition into an arm bar?

[@Flamunio]

I thought this

[@wlbernie]

You obviously didn’t watch the whole video. 🤦‍♂️

[@downtownjb100]

Not cool
