[@JohnDivon]

Such a Wonderful Explanation of how to do the Triangle Choke -- Thank You

[@ScotlandtheBrave1000]

man, he walks you through the technique perfectly. sounds like hes been teaching it for 30 years

[@tattashot]

One of the best vids you have uploaded. Thanks for going over all the little details in securing a proper triangle choke. Time to try it on my little sister, thanks.

[@ooglaboogla555]

This is awesome. I'm not saying that youtube videos are better than learning from your coach but I have definitely notice a difference in the dynamic ways of learning. You can rewind or forward whenever you want without making the coach constantly pause for your benefit haha

[@DunKnoThaMySpace]

Best instructional channel on the Internet. Great job guys! Gracie Jiu Jitsu all day

[@MrLA75]

I learned the triangle back in 97 at the Gracie Academy under a different instructor. I'm used to the rotation. Never occurred to me to scoot out the hips. I like how this new generation teaches. I'm thinking of seriously going back.

[@Jasonweckard]

Excellent video, i just started and i've had trouble just understanding how I'm supposed to observe Jiu-Jitsu techniques. But now I think understand how to observe.

[@lulzlaby]

most in depth way to do this ive seen yet keep up the great work!

[@rampage42]

i learned triangle choke but wasnt ever taught how to deal with opponents providing resistance. so it's a really good explanation and i am thoroughly appreciative of it.

[@penpaperpower]

I really love his passion in explaining things. That was very clear and gave me a nice tip to use with my triangle choke

[@ggevor1]

Rener has a unique gift of explaining the Jiu Jitsu techniques

[@Colombianfunk]

Excellent Detail, I really like how you guys beat the stack. Thanks for posting!

[@japastyle2475]

I Love this!!! This video helped me understand the goal is to put hamstring and inner thigh on carotid artery. That’s what I was missing. So thank you.

[@hillpaintball]

thanks! I have been having trouble getting a full lock on my triangle chokes in judo and I had never thought to try this. I always tried to force them back and regrip, which usually resulted in them escaping the guard or standing back up, I will be sure to try this in my next randori.

[@Greenacres88]

Guy has a good speaking voice.

[@Joe22c]

This was a great vid with great narration, good stuff!

[@fowlmd]

best explanation of a tiangle I've seen. It addressed exactly the problem I have in scoring a triangle.

[@strigen]

I would probably have thought something along the same lines as you, too. When I met the Gracie family in real life, they seemed like very chill, humble people. Another time, when I didn't have a ride home from their studio, a few of the Gracie clan offered to drop me off at my house on their way to another place. Even then, they seemed like pretty down-to-earth people, although I could be wrong as they were speaking Portuguese the entire time =)

[@panman1770]

Getting that perpindicular angle is what helped me

[@aHigherPower]

Love you guys. Thank you for the videos!

[@keelanwalker]

Rener Gracie is may not be recognised as the most skillful of the gracie but I believe he is by far the most articulate speaker and may be the best up and coming teacher of the techniques

[@matthewstipp4513]

I spared today for the first time and I almost got submitted with the triangle choke like 4 times ... it was fun.

[@MrNeveress]

Matthew Stipp bet you’re doing the choking now

[@mobiledetail4you]

This was the lesson in my day 3 class… can’t wait to see what day 4 will be…

[@xthebeast7830]

this video was like your white belt phase as a youtuber! your videos now are definitely black belt quality! lol

[@jenniferbrown2644]

Thank you, every time i pulled people in guard i forgot how to do it. Thank you

[@knishofdeath]

Thank for this. I am 6' 1" but have somewhat short thick legs and always thought I couldn't lock triangles properly. I think this will help, I will try it tomorrow!

[@Daski69]

It didn't take long for me to realise that 6 people in the world are Judokas... however how anyone can dislike these guys is beyond me!

[@ramrod20042000]

One of my favorite techniques! If you end up on your back in a street fight. Your attacker will most of the time, jump into your guard to punch you....then it's all over!..i can slap on this choke in a matter of seconds!

[@TobyJung]

lol "the bad guy" great vid great technique and explained in detail too! all the best. JT

[@andrewanastasi]

very well explained

[@mrmarcanthony1]

@uohypnos Actually, its "Reylan". All first "R's" in Portuguese sound like "H's". Rener, Ryron, Ralek, Reylan, Horian, Royler, etc. The grandmaster "Helio" was spelled with an "H" though. Pick up the "Combative" dvds and it will be just like you're at the academy, pretty much! =)

[@GHRepresent]

@Michini712 it was perfected by jiujitsu, both its application and setup were perfected by jiujitsu

[@Tezcax]

Yes, standing up is a way to escape the triangle choke.But it's pretty hard to do in a full force sparring.When you are in the triangle, you can't see well, you will pass out in seconds, you're kind of balance because one of your arms are trapped. Many times when the guy tries to stand up, he ends up falling and getting finished at the mount.Kind of a mounted triangle, which is way worse them the guard one, all his weight over you. But a good fighter may be able to pull it out.

[@williambarbahen6974]

Thank you I always did the twist and never had them down lower and relied on flexibility.

[@SPEEDY11111111111]

Thanks. This helped me a lot.

[@mikeharvey1597]

This was my problem today. Thinking i can't do it cause my legs are too short. Next time, I'll try to check where his is head is. Thank you. :)

[@stayclashy3433]

Really amazing 👍

[@ssflip]

lol ... the gracies r soon gonna run out of names that starts with R due to their number !

[@Joe22c]

I said it before and I'll say it again: I love the way this guy talks 4:44 "which in turn positions the bad guy much lower" haha, "bad guy" lolol

[@JI77469]

So if I understand 4:40 correctly, the purpose of angling by pushing off with your leg on their hip is primarily for getting the leg horizontal? And just walking the shoulders and holding the person in place is easier sometimes?

[@trajtemberg]

I wish my teachers were so clear as you.

[@devang88]

@typographik dude thanks! but thats kinda far from where i livee......... do u noe any other good mma or jiu jitsu gyms by chicago? maybi those gyms will b closerr

[@davidtice4972]

I have the 13 DVDs of the Gracie Combatives.

[@stillnessinmovement]

nice. old school pivot to side a bit, new school move hips up. likely use both for best result?

[@Zenitself]

Watch more of the GracieAcademy vids, he has lots of videos about jiujitsu and smoothie making!

[@damiraclemanda]

how long does it take from someone to pass out in this choke, and then how long does it take for them to actually die?

[@magician234]

Thanks for the vid..It was very informative. Although, I train in MMA, I have learned a few things from this vid.

[@Owl-of-Minerva]

Once Helio was asked who his favorite nephew was, Ryron and Reylan were the only ones present, he looked at each of them a couple of times, smiled at us and pointed at Reylan, Ryron jumped up and chased him, and beat him up, end of story :)

[@iFlowWithTheGo]

The walking with the shoulders looks like it might help if the opponent is trying to stack you. Thanks for sharing.

[@edgeblitz]

Please do a breakdown of Tony Ferguson's triangle on Kevin Lee at UFC 216. Why did Tony choose to push Lee's arm outside instead of inside the triangle?

[@baywest]

I loved the video, especially since the triangle choke was the first bjj move I learned. I saw it on Human Weapon and thats what really got me into bjj. Your explanation was better though.

[@RomeoBarnes]

whatever arm is inside the opposite leg goes on his neck. Remember good BJJ is always simple. Just remember you make a right triangle like geometry class and you want the right angle on his neck.

[@TomSmall]

Gracie combatives is amazing!

[@RomeoBarnes]

Do both shoulder walk AND angle. Shoulder walk= easy lockup, Angle= Easy finish.

[@waugustowl]

very charismatic speaker

[@typographik]

@devang88 There's an official Gracie school in Chicago. It's in Lincoln Square.

[@shans9359]

thank you great vid

[@underground94teo]

the best!!! i luv it

[@bakerr69]

never understood one thing with triangles. do the trapped arm and biting leg both have to be same. Like if I trap my opponents right arm do i have to bite with my right leg or can i trap any arm and bite with my right leg

[@damnson6556]

bakerr69 the way it's done in the video

[@bravozero6]

bakerr69 your over thinking it

[@abigailturner2145]

If it's your opponents right arm in the mix, then it will be your right leg that goes behind his neck. He is choked between his own arm and your leg on the other side.

[@newmexico800]

if your hips are far away is their a less likely a chance they can slam u?

[@damiraclemanda]

I didnt say I wanted to kill someone, I was just wondering if you held this choke how long it would take to kills someone.

[@rainmaker6261]

At last count, the Census Bureau calculated that there are approximately 11,327 Gracies alive currently.

[@wyattwilson6318]

love it

[@EpioneEQ]

@ryujj143 simply dont keep going for it if its being difficult to do, there are other things you could try, and instead of trying to "make" something happen, instead of doing "this this that this and then apply the choke" use whatever is there. Let the opponent place themselves into position for an easier triangle. if you cant get that leg over but have the arm between your legs, drop trying to do that and go for an armbar.

[@mr.steveblazer7478]

Love this move but I like twisting arm control a little better

[@richardbarton6146]

Man, I wished other Jiu-jitsu schools taught like Him, he is so thorough. I cant express how important it is to learn Gracie-Combatives for beginners!! if you dont have that good basic foundation, you will get your ass whooped every class, and eventually quit! and have wasted alot of money and time!

[@303chainsaw303]

i like pushing the outside arm to their chest and scooting that shin around thanks for the vid

[@nhafner]

id hate to see a family reunion when a fight breaks out... holy shit haha

[@justinrice7609]

OMG Gold every time

[@barrettokarate]

@VitaNegern77 Carlos Gracie believed that the letters “R”, “K”, and “C” were “strong” letters, almost “magical.” Almost all of his 21 children (except for 3 daughters) names’ begin with those three letters. Many of his descendants continue the tradition. Helio continued the tradition naming all 9 of his children with “R“ as the first letter. In fact, all of his grandchildren’s names, except for one begin with either “R” or “K.” Only Rorion’s daughter Segina's name doesn't start with "R" or "K."

[@jarrad888]

i find my shirts stretch alot..what kind should i wear for rolling? ie rashie types? tight fitting? materials? i find when im drenched in sweat, they stretch like hell

[@givebeesachance]

If he's posturing up make sure you get head control. Once you get the leg behind the head he shouldn't be able to posture anymore. If he is STANDING then hook the leg with your arm. As he's falling back down you should be able to get an even deeper choke OR you may end up rolling to triangle mount.

[@newcastlelukehullkr]

hey i got someone 90k in a triangle choke, but he picked me up and body slammed me to the ground and winded me when sparring, how do i stop this happening?

[@PandarenMaster]

lucas Berry hook his leg when he tries to stand up.

[@captainbuzzkill4658]

Don’t grapple with meatheads!

[@andrewnguyen4037]

Hook his leg or if it's too late to do that, If you are crunching your abs on the lock, extend your upper body fast and jerk it really hard back to pull the guy back down. It should feel similar to doing a backflip in terms of jerking your upper body backwards.

[@Dexerion]

I'm talking about the difference between holding your breath (oxygen) and choking someone (blood).

[@straightgangstamack]

I always go to you guys first great detailed instruction.

[@profetas]

He said that defines BJJ.Look at Jiu-Jitsu fights and count how many triangle you will get and then got to BJJ. Your are right to say that he cannot claim to be the inventor. Martial Art is like natural language. English has a lot of French words but you don't say when it is French.

[@millerross90]

You forgot an explanation for how to avoid being picked up and slammed while in a triangle choke.

[@DeaconBlessed]

Awesome

[@hollasta629]

the best way to get a triangle choke is with rubber guard. more specifically the meat hook which was created by eddie bravo who defeated royler gracie and could do it again easily to any gracie.

[@takidabossen]

@Michini712 yes! but i do belivie it came from the jiu jutsu before judo! Notice that i don't mean braziljan jiu jutsu! i mean Jiu jutsu!

[@simonrules69]

actually judo copyied it from jujutsu so there not the 'original' people to come up with the triangle aka sangaku (spelling might be wrong)

[@ACEOFTHEBLITZ]

he seems pretty cool! :D

[@Dexerion]

My point is it's much different than holding your breath. Many people can dive underwater and hold their breath for 5+ minutes. You can't get choked for 5 minutes and live.

[@EGW711]

Now I know. Thanks Again!

[@2strokebandit]

He`s getting really excited at 3:00, like he´s utlizing the triangle himself at that very moment LoL might not be the one with the best skills within the gracie family but in terms of language and integration he´s far beyond them other and will definately be more successfull from marketing point of view ;)

[@cumanagoto]

@Michini712 Well said! Thank you.

[@imajorhavoc]

Gracie Jiu Jitsu talks of the triangle choke as the technic that represents the "inovated" Japanese Jiu Jitsu,that was delivered to Brazil,From Mitsuyo Maeda,Its more mathmatical for a smaller guy to use the Triangle choke ,Triangles are the most powerful geometric shape,thats why they claim it to be the the technic that represents Gracie Jiu Jitsu,&you wont get a Blackbelt without that knowledge

[@takidabossen]

pretty funny! "whom are here to volontarily being choked out with this techique" ! :D excuse me for the spelling ;P

[@archgod7928]

I literally cannot break people’s posture in order to get them in the triangle. I’m a strong guy and can’t seem to get people to come down

[@rickyhurtado]

That's exactly what I thought. I heard they give you a watermelon before each class with full membership. lol

[@devang88]

make a gym in chicagoo!!!! plzzz

[@makkavelli3972]

What about for guys with very short legs trying that Tecnique??

[@pokermon87]

lol the guy sounds pretty excited

[@JIUJITSUMAN22]

You are the levelsquee999?

[@sinatrafan1987]

Both these dudes have some long legs, but they do both have some amazing skill

[@UrDoinItWrong]

great vid! However I thought the triangle was NOT something developed by the gracies...huh.

[@xspex1321]

@Alio15 Yeah, there are a lot of them :) And they all look alike so you think there are new ones but they aren't.

[@VitaNegern77]

Why do all their names start with R ?

[@bushinonasake]

Guess what Sankaku means... thats right it means "triangle"

[@dreambaroficial]

por favor coloquem legenda em português!!
