Gracie Insider: Technique of the Month - Triangle Shoulder Walk

www.GracieAcade...
Rener Gracie, head instructor of the World Famous Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Torrance, CA, teaches you how to defend against an opponent stacking or folding you when you triangle them.

[@KaninTuzi]

Our coach often has us do shoulder walks for warmup, but I never quite understood the practical application. But now I do!

[@tommo27501]

Thank you this was what I was missing from my triangle attempts

[@ntdeas]

Thanks, I guess I just wasn't thinking last night. I'll keep training for my blue belt. lol I gotta start somewhere. I bought the combatives dvds and am on lesson 10 now, the triangle. When I am on a lesson I always do as much research about it as I can also through any other Gracie videos(Gracie only) online and take notes.

[@Joe22c]

I love this guy and totally respect him, but I love the way he talks even more haha. "My HEAD even gets involved - my head joins the party" "Your dreams will be shattered!" "*trying to make an analogy to being trapped under a mountain or a car or something*" hahaha

[@Manny1222]

@Xaymot Yeah man, it's incredible how ONE slight detail, a little more pressure can make all the difference.

[@GracieGoldsboro]

wow ralek is back! i trained with him about nine months ago and last i had heard ralek and his father were having some issues

[@dantefromsomm]

you guys are great for showing your techniques thanx

[@blazonish]

What shampoo does Rener use? HEAD AND SHOULDERS

[@jeffersonsmith6109]

I wonder when/if framing your arms against your knees would come into play or add to this technique a la Renzo Gracie? I saw Ralek Gracie show this in another video. Excellent technique. Been loving Gracie Jiu Jitsu since about 1989 or 1990. I used to see these guys walk around the academy as really little kids. I'm very happy to see their passion for this effective art.

[@ntdeas]

i think these videos are awesome, and yall are great teachers

[@simon4075]

Thanks for this video. I been catching people with the triangle (due to my long skinny legs), but is unable to finish. Hopefully, I can apply the tip(s) from this video to my technique next time I roll.

[@Huangman93]

rest in peace Helio Gracie,you are the man...

[@MAGirlable]

'People aren't machines, people are people.' LOL

[@zedge527]

My dreams have been shattered quite a few times by people stacking on me :( Thanks for the video, Rener and Ralek! I'll use this in class today and let you know how it goes! z

[@SCROGY]

No wonder they let Renner do these videos. The guy is a better speaker than most people trained to be public speakers. I heard MAYBE one or two ummmms or ahhhhhhs in there. Superb instructor.

[@Spideysenses67]

Renner Gracie has GOT to be the mast entertaining bjj instructor on youtube

[@mbraceros]

Haha "even my head joins the party". Great stuff. These guys are awesome.

[@MrWebsterdiction]

Dudes rock, they ae so passionate about their art.

[@jesselawnhct]

Good stuff as usual, guys.

[@allabritton5127]

Great Gracie 🙌🥋

[@sivko23]

This guy is great teacher the one who showed shoulder walk ...

[@sherisetodd7004]

When you pull his head how do you keep him from biting your chest or face.

[@dantefromsomm]

@mbraceros thank u guys for sharing these great techniques

[@ntdeas]

so just curious, what happens when you run into a wall and can't shoulder walk any more or you start out up against a wall? then what do you do if he tries to stak u? not trying to be stupid, just curious.

[@gcbarone]

Great advice. Great video.

[@superkingkong1034]

i like you Rener Gracie. you made me interested in jiu jitsu. i have been adding it into my local martial art , but i have a question: "is there a great chance that some one can bite you in the process regarding street fight", if yes don't you think its dangerous to end up on the ground.

[@azimmorganam]

SuperKingKong the whole idea of jiu jitsu is to immobilise, exhaust and control your opponent or adversary.. if youre controlling someone and they can bite you.. youre not controlling them. trust the techniques and respect mechanical advantage and leverage rather than relying on brute strength.. go into a dojo and challenge a black belt.. let him agree to you being able to do ANYTHING biting included.. i promise you youll be asleep before you can bite on anything friend. good luck and dont stop training no matter what.. no doubts = no regrets. trust the techniques and they will reward you

[@ootsam]

SuperKingKong I was showing triangle to a friend who has a Kuk Sool black belt and she bit the hell out of my thigh. I instinctively prepared to drop north-south elbows, and realized that there would be no defense. I let her win though and feel like a gnaw-ninja.

[@roninlewis1232]

If they bite you, bite back with your arms around their neck

[@ByronSadik]

What if they stand up and try to stack you?

[@rberry978]

thats my next triangle well and truely on

[@RodrigoVanilla93]

there are many other options if the triangle fails :) omo plata, armbar..etc.

[@fishpoowanker]

you hopes and dreams shattered lol he is a funny guy my instructor just swears

[@eden-ski]

so clear!

[@FR-ty5vn]

I’ve used this to avoid the guard pass from a monster, but by the time I got the triangle he had backed me up against the wall...I’ll try better.

[@Kranio]

Hell of a good bjj teacher.

[@fedorlei]

shoulder walking is a good way to avoid punches from an opponent inside your guard

[@vitor3000]

awesome vid...thx for posting

[@Dudongo86]

Very useful.

[@TrishCanyon8]

BRILLIANT

[@SCROGY]

@1lostinspace In the academy maybe, but in the street most guys try to smash forward. They don't know about posturing.

[@maheyaarb]

haha the guy in the backround is getting triangled while theyre talking about triangles

[@Xaymot]

And this is why I always lose my triangle.. durrr. Thanks for the tip.

[@Viniciuspvh]

Thicknecked I agree with you, BJJ is for fun and IF you need, you can use it for personal defense, however fighting in the streets is too dungerous! There is no guarantees... Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro, apenas para diversão!

[@joergus]

Nice!

[@ImIr0n]

i still fail to find a MA better for when u end up on your back...

[@phys1c]

'..people are people.' haha Rener could be the next Yogi Berra..

[@buttsax]

Just remember: if you don't address the problem your dreams will be shattered

[@allabritton5127]

🙌🏆🥋

[@gmanunreal]

my head joins the party lol

[@seanaleman2697]

This works with all stacks. I see too many people with cement shoulders.

[@jivapav]

these guys 'walk the talk' lol!

[@famousNobody10]

4:44 HOLY SHII.........

[@LJSJIUJITSU]

I concur. So many people are still caught up in the whole "multiple attacker" fallacy that they live in delusions of the din mak and other one hit death strikes. The fact is if three, four, five, shoot even two guys want to jack you you're in trouble no matter what "din mak" you know.

[@djmario64]

"dont use this one on us" haha

[@Danedog614]

Well...I can say that BJJ would work in a street fight...but only a 1 on 1 and the right conditions. In a normal fight, there are multiple people, or it's on concrete or something similar, in which case you prolly wouldn't want to go for throws/ground fighting...solutions??? Train BJJ AND Muy Thai! :P But These guys still rock no matter what, & chokin people is serious business by the way!

[@massivojohnson]

@phys1c KRAV M .............. Behave yourself. Seriously. Behave yourself.

[@puschmannn]

4:30 people R people hihi ^^ thanx 4 todays smile ;)

[@Kranio]

@mbraceros

[@gelomal]

speak veryyyyy speak varyyy

[@InformedGlobe]

nice

[@massivojohnson]

@lagalagallama : Seriously. You are deluded to think that you can fight more than one dude at a time. Perhaps if it is a total drunkard. Or a slapping teenager. But in truth a grown man attacking you with all his strength and agression. ... Nah. Ive been in those situations and believe me... No art in the world can prepare you for a multiple attack situation. All you have is (basically) right handers to each one as they come in. If you miss... forget it.

[@UTBaller22]

ok what makes you think a gjj practicioner cant play dirty either? and unless your in a place you shouldnt be or a situation you shouldnt be or u live in the ghetto your not going to get stabbed or jumped by multiple attackers.

[@blaaket123]

Chael Sonnen dislikes this video

[@massivojohnson]

Im fed up hearing about how BJJ is no use for the street and how its only good for 1 opponent. Show me a practical art that is any good against more than 1 guy. Not 1. What, Judo? or Boxing , Maybe Kickboxing....EVEN THAI.. What am I going to do a Bas Rutten splits kick and punch forward and back at the same time against 4 guys. Get real, if any of you have been in or seen real fights then you will know how practical BJJ is. No unarmed martial art is good against multiple attackers.

[@اللهاكبر-ب4ل6غ]

If you wanna win in the streets train boxing and bjj

[@phys1c]

@massivojohnson Krav Maga.......
