Flying Triangle

www.GracieAcade...
Rener Gracie, head instructor of the world famous Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Torrance, CA, teaches you the secrets of the flying triangle. He is joined by Brian Ortega who shows us why they call him T-city.

[@Numberonebleachfan95]

I swear Rener could advertise anything well haha

[@zeeshawn15]

Sales man for sure

[@joelmartinez2896]

Right!!! His energy is just so pure..who wouldn't want to be around him all day

[@joondagoon6774]

He’s like the chael sonnen of the gracies

[@yevgeniyzharinov7473]

He learned from his dad--the pro.

[@mystic7934]

Brian Ortega is a man of destiny. This is like those videos of bieber singing when he was 5 years old. Just when you know you were put on this earth to do one thing and to show the world your talents. Brian Ortega is the true epitome of the student becoming the master. A protege of rener gracie. A future legend. He will be the Greatest.

[@peteypablo09]

10 years ago, Brian Ortega was given a choice...

I hit a flying triangle in competition the day after I watched this. Thanks guys.

[@roninjujitsu3299]

I hit it before I watched this.

[@ernestopanza4194]

Nice!

[@arnonabuurs7297]

[@blackmovement13]

LOLLL "Bryan becomes a necklace"

[@psyche3565]

I remember watching this video when I first started jiu jitsu... Brian hadn’t even had his first mma fight yet, let alone the ufc. Now he’s fighting for the title soon undefeated and possibly one of the most entertaining fighters in the sport right now. Blessed to have witnessed it.

[@MrKevin24701]

[@ChidorivsRasengan3]

One of the coolest moves I've ever seen, I might even try to practice this move and master it

[@captaincrunch04]

just hit one in comp... never tried it before, just watched this video a couple times... i'm in the heavyweight division. In the GI, i just got collar/lapel and sleeve grip and just went for it. Thanks for the vid!

[@lesson433]

crazy, this kid's now fighting for the belt. much respect!

[@yannikbaltes3552]

I dont speak that passionally about many things, he speaks about everything passianonally :D :D

"We bring it into the worlddd!!" ahahaha.. Rener is seriously, one hella cool cat...

[@A.C.71]

Rener is so passionate about life..what a great teacher..doing what he was born to do..cool to see..inspiring to say the least.

[@panosts6178]

9 years later TCity fights for a title in the UFC (and hopefully takes it home). Such an inspiring young man.

[@matchingfingerprints]

This is exactly 10 years ago. He definitely had a choice

[@MsDarkwood]

“Call me. I’ll carry your weight” 😂 Classic

[@pwnage333]

rener has so much energy I love it haha

[@UrBrudda]

Thx man the triangle choke is my favorite submission technique, one more position to execute it is very welcome

[@chaos_omega]

Haha, back in the day when Brian was still a purple belt.

[@isaiahvilla6908]

Exactly what i was thinking. He's such a natural.

[@mmaforever594]

was it purple it looked blue?

[@RoZaxTheGreat]

Its a blue belt...

[@timmyotoole6063]

@@RoZaxTheGreat nope, definitely purple

[@SuperFartyman]

@@timmyotoole6063 its blue

[@Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

Awesome move, and i loved the finish. with a surprise with coconut drink >.< So unexpected.

[@f.b.i7693]

Brian Ortega looks so young 😂😂

[@Spynda1]

He was probably around 18. I think he's 28 now and this is 10 years ago. That's my guess.

[@christopherking2999]

Rener can kick my ass anytime. What a joy he is to watch. Gleeful, competent and a true teacher. Thank you.

[@miwuksniper]

If I lived near them that would be the gym I train at!

[@Motivationalspeaker008]

Ive been watching Gracie videos but there is no doubt Rener is the best Instructor. Great videos Rener. Naz United Kingdom

[@PureBloodedPatriot-k9p]

Looking forward to seeing more of Brian. One of the most dynamic fighters in MMA. Get after it T

[@GraftedOliveBranch]

I gave this video a "like" because it got straight to the point within 0:23 ... Videos on KZbin that get straight to the point are hard to find these days... so well done. 👏👏👏👏

[@BrianJNoah]

But before we get to the flying triangle, let's go over the history of Flying. First there were birds.... Every youtube video today just milking it.

[@delta88rulez]

what if you step across with your right leg and turn your body to the right and toss him over your hip or something? would that block the triangle?

[@isaackekoa5057]

One coconut was hilarious. Keep it real

[@Guitarfollower22]

See we need more people like this guy, very energetic, straight-forward, etc,

[@fivestarz3s]

@RDbushi The 10 gracies brothers names start with a R. The last is Ricon also named R10.

[@matthenderson3133]

Hit this for the first time today! Great stuff guys, love the flying triangle now :).

[@kevindeltoro2728]

Gracie back down is the best the coolest and funny and great teaching .. awesome teachers .. I wanna join

[@RedBull3400]

rener is such a underated youtuber man

[@gearsofwar2112]

Rener's a chill dude... Wish I had a teacher like him

[@JamesBrown-]

Haha Brian is like the kid copying everything his big brother does as he idolises him 😆 Rener has quite an overpowering presence

[@poachedvaninho8793]

"Why do you drink when I drink?" Lol

[@kemchiag7241]

Loool I dieing at that part because I was thinking the same thing

[@JLJE54]

The guy in the blue seems very talented. I wonder if he’s a black belt now.. I’m sure with innovations like that he’d do great in a fighting organization

[@monkeyfrut]

rener is freaking awesome

[@w0y1z92753]

That's insane. You also explain everything really clearly. Great job.

[@mrbleuu]

Great clip, many thanks! Also, great commentary!!! Funny but not obnoxious. Keep them coming.

[@ExtremeSchuhplattler]

highly entertaining and educational. i really like the metality you guys have.

[@oyeguey]

Good video. One further detail is to tilt your head forward , so as to touch your chin to yourchest, as you fall down. This will protect one´s skull from cracking against the ground as they alluded to. However, they did an excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@XMMAFANX]

That was awesome, funny ass ending. Rener would be a great pitchman. Awesome technique though, professionally explained.

[@completenovice2408]

Wow a very young T-City, future champ

[@petervandenberg7514]

Awesome video definitely helped me clear out some bad habits I had when throwing this

[@InformalGreeting]

The version on Redline's page seems to work better for me. While we are watching this 5 year old video T-city is still evolving.

[@chancesims5833]

I have an opinion... You guys should talk more about other injuries involved with this technique; there's nothing between the hips and the rib-cage, but [the spine]; which can cause paralysis if someone does slam you. Some(bigger/stronger)ppl can pick you up even after you land, and break you in half. Oss

[@OneShotStop229]

I found that out the hard way. Although, in my experience, because of the surprise factor in techniques like this, I had enough time to do a breakfall (to some degree) as well as finishing the technique. Food for thought.

[@souzakhan2163]

I though it´s hard to me, in my level. But i now i gonna get do it. Thanks for your excellent class. Thanks for posting it. Ossu!!!

[@Fightingword]

this video... is so cool on many levels! i love the enthusiasm !!!!! heheheheh

[@captaincairoPT]

I'm trying this out today!

[@D3vilD0g43]

Only thing I ask is, to complete the triangle choke you must apply pressure to the neck with both hands if you only apply it with one hand you might not get enough pressure to choke them out?

[@DA-pt1em]

These guys are awesome

[@flamepunch8]

it deserves the PASSION it deserves the JUICE

[@TheDrew21]

where can that coconut water be bought at in the southbday? i looooove cocnut water so much but hate drinking ones wit preservatives etc im so glad to finally see one thats kept natural..where can it be bought definitely gonna stock up on that:)

Rock on T-C! Keep pumpin youngblood!!!!

[@Raul28153]

Given as how his head is face up and on the ground - - - - - - - What's to stop you from pounding him in the face hitting his jaw driving that into the back of his head and knocking him out ? Or hammering the bridge of his nose till it kills him? Or hitting him in the corner of the eye causing an orbital blow out driving bone fragments into the brain knocking him senseless and probably killing him in a few hours? Only takes a few blows to do any of that. So It's a serious question. What's to stop you?

[@KandL2018]

The trapped arm has the range of motion (thus power) of a toddler in that position, it ain't knocking anyone out. The far arm's shoulder is impeded by the (in this case, right) knee. Neither will knock you out even with the head-bounce potential unless you just lie there like a welcome mat. Add the slam-proofing by tying up the ankle, and the choke-ee has no angle to punch or elbow you with (the left hand's power is inhibited by a crap posture from being bent down). A stomp won't work because they're already off-balance and will topple or stumble before they can generate any meaningful force (ditto with kneeing). Next question?

[@jakehumphreys6351]

I am in Paulo's class. At Gracie academy I have the same master that you had on the back wall!! Where is your academy?

[@N1Art]

Lol it's so obvious that the kid leads from Reners example. The way he drinks in sync just cracked me up

[@donhirampick9778]

The weekend's triangle choke on Yair brought me here ..Way to go T-city

[@TheKrazyLobster]

Renner can make a funeral sound like the most awesome thing in the world.

[@mindsprawl]

Wow thank you so much great instruction, where is your gym?

[@gladstonygomes]

Já usei muti o triângulo e posso dizer que é uma das minhas técnicas preferidas! BJJ sempre! Oss!!!

[@fightmeimirish]

My personal thanks to Rener and Brian because I caught one of these flying triangles in an MMA fight last weekend. The best part is, I'm a Superheavyweight so It's incredibly unexpected.

[@EL3IMAGERY]

dont fuck with that man and his coconuts

[@joelvis65]

if u guys notice, bryan is just a blue belt and hes got that kind of skill..wow! its a testament to the gracies level of training compared to other martial arts..ive seen many black belts in other arts who cant fight for shit...

[@lsloewen2]

@themagicaltragic The groin isn't actually close to the mouth in the choke, your opponents mouth should be exposed if the move is done right. Your groin would actually be closer to the bad guy's armpit

[@noodles5206]

He gets so excited over *OPENING COCONUT JUICE*

[@abelbeltrannicolas202]

Muy bien explicado,saludos desde Perú Motupe.

[@bornfedslaughter]

Does grabbing the leg really prevent the slam. Because it seems like slamming can defeat a lot of bjj in the street.

[@MarkLKJ]

i like his enthusiasm

[@davidwatts8281]

This kid is going to be a star!!

[@kamikrazi123]

well assuming its 1v1 and you start off duking it out like all fights start (face to face or like the start of a match)

[@EastVan604]

Man Rener is intense!

[@vivelajonny]

lol brian was talking so much like Rener, i dont even think he notices he's doing it, he was like doing an impression of him hahahaha

[@SlugDropsonheads]

I'm totally going to call him... I only live about an hour away from the Torrance academy

[@jiujitsulover1]

does anyone know how much it is for a private lesson with this guy!!

[@pendlehillbillies3828]

One is part of Pepsico & uses water from mature coconuts & then flash pasteurizes using heat. They have faced a class action lawsuit for using synthetic substances and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in their product while labelling deceptively. Their coconut waters contain natural flavours and sugar. The sugar ingredient isn’t classified as to the type, but it may very well be a GMO type as used in their other Pepsico brand Naked Juice.

[@only1luv]

Gotta luv awsome people

[@jakerjac]

Guy in black is an amazing instructor.

[@sc80080n]

hahahah "coconut! we bring it into the world!!!" amazing

[@phillythekidsdfd]

it is the guillotine, even unskilled people use it, because the head kind of acts as a natural handle, and people usually want to rip your head off in a fight.

[@click1866]

i agree totally with rener that this move is not good for street defense. techniques like the flying triangle, flying armbar, or flying guard should only be used in sport competitions or in gym.

[@davidbudnickk]

same here only at the gym or akadame

[@chrismayvery]

Where is this academy? i wish they would open a gracie academy in Puerto Rico :/

[@mastertwig0]

it does because ur controlling the posture with your legs and are attached to their legs with your arms. If they break your grip you can get slammed otherwise the only thing you can do is fall over

[@ghughghugh]

Guy's a riot. Gotta love him. A good guy to show the family's BJJ.

[@beckonband]

awesome vid

[@Hurricane23]

i was trying this right now! kinda got it.
