The absolute best way to escape a jiujitsu triangle choke - Keenan Cornelius

The final segment to a 3 part triangle defense sequence found on keenanonline.com/ Dont bother with other triangle escapes, they do not work. This one actually works. So much of what is posted online these days are techniques that dont work or havent been tested fully. dont get mislead with false information. if you are having problems in bjj make sure you are learning REAL techniques from verified high level blackbelts that compete or have competed extensively in the past. Everything else is not guaranteed to actually work.

honestly if it's perfectly executed technique a lot of times even if you know it's coming you won't be able to stuff it. A simple trap and roll if executed perfectly is basically impossibe to stop after it develops to a certain point

[@aspenrebel]

Well really isnt much detail to it, that was pretty much it. You can get into it by tackling opponent, scooping behind both knees or ankles. Key is to get your ridgehands into back of his achilles. Pull up and arch yor back and his too actually. Then turn him over by stepping over him. Pull up on his legs, put one knee into small of back. CAUTION!! CAN BREAK BACK CAUSING PARALYSIS OR DEATH!!!!

Going on 9 months of purposely putting myself in triangles and haven't been finished yet with this. Now I purposely bait the triangle to escape closed guard. I've managed to choke a few people as well who refused to let me spin or let go of the triangle. Officially called the Keenan Escape ;)

[@BreathEmpowerment]

Purposely bait triangles to escape closed guard... there's a sentence I never thought I'd see 😂

keenan feels like that one coach you feel comfortable with all the time and can joke around and be fun with

[@bboystrech]

This magic works thanks keenan! Your videos are helping get to purple belt and I've been stuck in blue for six years due to injuries and frail body from overuse in the sport that im a black belt so to speak which is gymnastics like breakdance i competed in the worlds. My neck is very taught and after using any triangle escape I'd need atleast a week off jits from spasms in the neck area post triangle defense. I have started to be stubborn about this purple and took responsibility to teach myself= 99% bullshit videos online made me worse. Found yours= 2 weeks of drilling this escape my black belt friend can't triangle me anymore and my neck does not seize up or take strain in the traps and attachments. I want to deeply thank you and tell everyone that it seems to me your methods are cutting edge genius, hacks to being stuck in jits blues. God bless, hope to meet you in future 🙏

[@x_Isaiah_x_]

Beautiful, Keenan. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

I have recently started BJJ at 61yrs and I can tell you this has been the most informative video to stop the triangle. It really works!! I feel I am somewhat (more) competitive when rolling against others in the club. Great sport wish I took it up as a teenager. Derrick Hodgson NZ

Kernans prologue "You WILL get armbarred, IF you do it wrong"

[@johnnypatalano]

I’ve been looking for an effective triangle escape. I tried what I saw in some other videos and still found myself getting choked or arm barred because I was posturing or staying centered. I tried this tonight, and it worked perfectly. I did lean to the one side to to relieve pressure, and he wasn’t able to reach my head. Before I even completed the turn, he gave up on the triangle. I’m a blue belt with one stripe. My partner tonight has three stripes on a white. Thanks for the great video.

[@raymondr2821]

Thanks Keenan

[@Tearfree709]

No disrespect but i've been using this move also but little different. I don't extend my arm but i will try it, but does your method work because you're arms are long? i do this same escape but i tuck and grip the hip with that arm and unwind the legs in the same way. Blew my mind to see you do the same escape, made me feel like i am on the right track!! Good STUFF!!!!

[@Harrisabd]

This is amazing, got caught in a triangle by both my coach and a juvenile blue who are triangle machines, and this defense absolutely shut down the submission!

[@love2fight205]

One of my teachers was showing me this today and I was wondering where he learned it now I know

[@msdunkel]

I'm only a white belt, but I've now successfully executed this escape against white, blue, and purple belts without getting arm barred. It's so good vs. people my own skill level I'm half tempted to let them triangle me so I can get an easy pass. I tried it against a guy 50 lbs heavier (and 20 years younger) than me with really long legs, he couldn't choke me with the triangle but I couldn't generate enough torque to get out of the triangle. Still better than what he usually does to me in that position. In addition, I've found that the grip Keenan describes is a very strong defensive grip if you just want to chill and catch a breather in somebody's guard. I've grabbed that loop with both hands and have found it to be a very strong defensive position.

[@brycenie3335]

This is actually amazing and works with SO much success that I'm actually feel comfortable being in a triangle 😂.

[@carpejkdiem]

Thank you very much for sharing. Much appreciated.

[@eduardotoledo2744]

I've been doing this escape for some time and its really the best, but I didnt know that collar lock hehe thanks kinan ;D

[@JohnSmith-mo2sv]

this worked wonders today! thanks!

[@josiahg2]

Great execution of The BOSTON CRAB!!!

[@BigEco]

I am convinced, as you show, there is no opportunity for an armbar submission to counter this escape. although I do believe your lapel grip could be broken be power-locking under your arm and hyperextending the elbow joint as you begin to turn which would force you to release your grip.

[@ohboy7790]

ima try this out. thanks keenan

[@golddee2040]

I gotta say, out of all of the triangle escapes I have seen, this one is by far the most effective and I use it all the time. I RARELY get eat a triangle these days. This defense is so obscure, few have an answer, but there is one in no gi.

[@mehdihotheiry4323]

I’ve tried this many times, it works against most people at my level. Although when I try it with upper belts (brown/black and even some purple) they tend to catch me with straight arm locks (reversed armbar) as soon as I extend my arm towards their neck/shoulder. It really doesn’t work unless I extend my arm, but now I’m too afraid getting caught to even attempt it against more skilled players.

[@mg0790]

Seems good. I'm trying this tomorrow.

[@magomedkhamkhoev6815]

Hey that’s a really interesting move and thank you for that!! But have you ever tried to pull it off when the guy has his hand (the left one in all examples in the vid) pulling his left foot? I’ve seen a lot of people do that to tighten the choke and some of them keep holding on to it So just wondering if this would work against your technique

[@kevinsarulis4067]

i just tried this at open mat today. luckily we were in the gi and i remember this last minute 😂. I scrambled for the loop grip and stretched my arm out for a last ditch effort. it worked! broke the triangle lock but fell into an armbar and escaped that as well. need to fine tune it and avoid the armbar next time..

[@kevinsarulis4067]

ayy i swear to god i havent been triangled once since watching this. and ive been in some deeeeep triangles. but as long as i get some sort of grip or even just no grip but with my arm across im safe. i basically just bait my arm and most ppl take the bait.
