How to Do the Hand Choke Triangle (No-Gi)

This unique technique uses another attack as a distraction so your opponent defends while leaving them vulnerable to the triangle set up.
The hand choke set flows into the hand gun choke but in this case is done intentionally incorrect so it could be countered. This method of blending attacks and how to set traps is a very important style that few utilize. You can't always beat your opponent via control based attacks; instead get creative and out think your way through.
Test out this unique no-gi technique derived from the brilliant mind of The Ground Marshal, Neil Melanson!

Didn't anyone notice that in the third minute Neil starts with his hands reversed and his partner pushes down the wrong hand to defend?

[@soccerpaintball6881]

[@oraclebjj]

Watched a lot of UtubeJiuJitsu over the years. Your exaples hit those sweet spots ive wondered about for some time. Never knowing the names one cant exactly google it. But this combo (too boot) showed not only your previous gun choke but combo'd the TP. Nice work.

[@riskest]

Thank you! I hope you could show some more details about hand gun choke.

[@HayabusaInc]

Lots more videos where that came from!

[@calbaking]

handchoke transition to triangle from closed guard, arm bar finish in triangle teepee finish to the triangle

[@escueladecombate.3832]

fantastico!

[@ootsam]

This guy is a super-beast

[@thos1618]

Neil. Where the hell is your book? I want to throw money at you. Can you get it back into production or at least sell an eBook version of it?

[@hzuiel]

+ollhashedfetish Why book specifically? It seems like techniques are much easier to explain with words and visuals than printed word.

[@diabolic42090]

I believe he has a video set called The Ground Marshall and a book called Mastering Triangle Chokes

[@paragon1782]

I got the book very easily

[@rye-bread5236]

At 4:06 he puts his arm down by the leg when transitioning? Is this to counter him standing up on one leg with a,possible pendulum sweep?

[@joeasskicker7547]

Oss great session.

[@mannyyhormiga3386]

That's is great 👍

[@user-wq3ks7co6b]

Очень круто, отлично объясняет!!!

[@leonardolima216]

Perfeito!!!

[@djseriousbizness]

That's what's up. The way big dude sets that up is fresher than.

[@angelomerte923]

Nice choke and setup the same time.

[@Unadapted]

Just saw Yuki Motoya hit this on Justin Scoggins in Rizin. Cool stuff

[@abhisheksajwan8877]

Good sir

[@gregory57481]

space age stuff man i've never even seen that before.

[@greggfarnn2147]

"There's a space between my groin and his body, that's gonna make things weird", lol. Couldn't resist. Awesome technique though

[@sarffman]

I could learn so much from this guy, similar body types and game. He's just light years ahead of me😂😂😂

[@ShinkaTV]

great

[@shellfaith8432]

Good bait y switch.

[@BJJfrkrbls]

thanks

[@rucrafto]

03:04 - mixed up left and right hand on gun choke

[@thomasi3975]

Is it still possible to continue the choke when you get their head between your legs in the triangle set up? Thanks

[@Vscustomprinting]

I don't think anybody dares dislike this vid.

[@virgian2]

Haha "its gonna be weird" 😂

[@thegraciefighter102]

in the second example at 3:10 he tries to push down the hand on his head rather than throat but guess it doesn't make a difference

[@gregjennings9442]

Mike Fox : if the dude tries to clear the choke by pushing on the hand on his head, you can either throw up the triangle or you can continue the choke.

[@arashimma9820]

💪💪💪🤙🤙🤙

[@harrypot9000]

What I really never liked about these moves is the amount of energy needed to pull it off.Some guys can survive these positions never going out.We have all seen professional fighters survive what looks like a flawless triangle choke.The move you make where you grab the back of both knees,and lift both legs up seems like a real gamble on energy loss.If it works great,but if it doesn't,you end up with almost nothing left in your arms.

[@mariuskrauer8685]

harry pot do it right and he screams for air.... if you are not able to... let it be. i would never try to finish something with brute force except an anakonda or a G due to the chance that they tap from a neck crank

[@drwillfranklin1]

Affraid of what he may be "choking" on with that tee pee finish..haha

[@Tallmark1]

Where is your school, sir?

[@sdzachar]

COACH NEIL CAN YOU COME TO NEW YOUR CITY AND TRAIN HERE I BE THE FIRST ONE TO SIGN IN

[@iWubmusic]

haha the teepee finish awesome. We were shown that a few months ago but a nasty brown belt from Brazil now he loves the competition our school has so much he has decided to stay and work on his black belt. Its awesome seeing him role. Check out my videos if you wanna see him .

[@djslimcodes2337]

3:51 how does he call that choke?

[@xANTHQNY]

Its the teepee choke

[@AlonzoCalPolyPomona]

Its gonna be weird 🤣🤣🤣
