[@davidjohnson4045]

Thanks Stephan. Watched this video before my BJJ class today, and I was able to escape 3 fully locked triangle attempts.

[@jrmartinez1354]

Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect except Jesus Christ. So we was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. Forsake meaning as in try your absolute best to not sin. We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. God bless you all. I love you all may all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior. God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️

[@StephanKesting]

The leglock is usually there after this escape, and I really like going for it!

[@63doughnut]

It's often fun to ALMOST give up the triangle choke , but keep posture, just inviting enough but crafty enough to tempt him into the move - then stack and pass guard.When your as old as me [ 70 [ you need all the help you can get. !

[@henryprutton8728]

+John Smyth wow. Jiu jitsu at 70, respect to you sir. What belt are you?

[@No-bm6sx]

+Henry Prutton he might have died..

[@superoriginalname]

+Kallum Don they say he continued into his last days taunting young men into catching him in a triangle, but one day his osteoporosis got the best of him and found himself in a triangle he simply couldn't escape, he knew his time was up, but Johnny knew he'd black out before tap out..for good

[@No-bm6sx]

superoriginalname "John was really strong in his final fight. I was attempting a kimura for several minutes but his arm just wouldn't budge" "That was probably the rigor mortis, Timmy"

[@bojorquezdg]

A purple belt in my academy does that, it is fun to try to finish the triangle and at the same time be careful of the stack and pass, learned a lot from him.

[@socalbengal3087]

Thanks for the great tips. My son who is 9 1/2 yrs old has been training for almost 4 years. He was just promoted to yellow belt. He almost always gets caught in a triangle by a fellow yellow belt, who has a great triangle. After practicing these techniques with him, we are confident that he'll be less likely to get caught in a choke. By the way, it's not easy to get my son to sit down and watch instructional videos, but he didn't complain about watching yours. I'm sure due to the fact that you explained the techniques clearly enough for him to understand. Thanks again for the great instruction.

[@adan2374]

This is great for me because I'm new(ish) to BJJ and constantly find myself caught with one arm in and one arm out from guard, resulting in a triangle. It's so frustrating repeatedly having to tap from this choke, especially after it's really sunk in. I just have to remind myself to leave my ego at the door and accept it's going to happen. One of my favorite Jiu-Jitsu quotes that helps me is: in BJJ you either win or learn...

[@hamid4500]

Fuck you

[@adan2374]

Human Adam That was not nice, I demand an apology right now!

[@hamid4500]

I am sorry..

[@adan2374]

Human Adam Apology accepted :)

[@poolkrooni]

I know your original comment was 6 months ago but this might then be a tip for other newcomers that walk past Kesting's videos - when starting out and playing in the guard (and I'm being dead serious here) imagine being a T-rex with your arms. Keep those elbows tucked, fingers up, palms facing your opponent and your palms right around the height of your chest (or holding down the opponent's hips for some good base). Edit: Also, that's an excellent quote!

[@07yur]

You are a grappling god my dear Sensei Kesting, because even though all of us who watch your vids don´t know you, we actually learn from you, I can say that I have a black belt Canadian teacher. Thank you Sensei for your teachings! Oss!

[@dmacdougall61]

Kesting is a great communicator and his videos and apps provide results. I used stack and spin tonight and escaped triangle choke by a big guy. Thanks!!

[@paolo2012]

great teacher, great personality, and the canadian accent facilitates easier learning.

[@Pavement-Prophets]

Excellent teacher, always clear step by step instruction. Too many detractors who are too cowardly to try any real fighting forms they're just keyboard warriors. What you sow you reap. Respect for the man.

[@hubaibhussain7021]

A perfect teacher and a perfect syllabus

[@ingredsbeard]

Thank you so much for your videos, Stephan! The little, practical things seem to be often overlooked (of forgotten my new practitioners!) in mixed classes, you're my go-to and you've helped my massively! Also, thank you for your BJJ Roadmap PDF! That took so much mystery out of BJJ in my first months of learning! You tha man!

[@walkingcorpse1224]

Your teachings are great!!! Every time I see a new technique you show on KZbin I immediately practice it the same day during practice at the academy I go to :)

[@WAPACHU]

I am a striker, i've been doing kickboxing for almost 3 years now, and it makes my life so MUCH EASIER to watch this videos... i don't mess with mma competition yet, but i know i will be ready with some help of this videos

[@SuperCatdoll]

Wow! I love how u show the different scenes over and over and in different angles allowing me to see everything! So happy I found this channel. Thank u so much. I’m a beginner obviously but I love watching videos that are so informative!

[@MrBlowies]

Best fundamental BJJ videos I've seen on YT.

[@williammichel5973]

One of the best BJJ instructors around! Thanks Stephan!

[@dennisg4230]

Finally a good self defense video against this hold/chokeout. Excellent.

[@jemoeder6969]

Best instructional videos on BJJ hands down! Thank you!

[@colinweir1501]

Master Stephan, you never cease to amaze me youre stuff has lots of class,I have used some of youre moves at my old school and they always work great thanks

[@somefuckstolemynick]

Kesting is brilliant teacher. Just started MMA/SW, and found his BJJ Roadmap book (which is free and like 30-40 pages long. Not really focusing on specific techniques but rather where to begin and how to tie all the basic stuff together). I'm too impatient to not try and learn stuff on my own out of class, and his book and videos have given me a perfect stepping stone. It really works well with what we learn and practice in class, and it ensures I don't run off learning (for me, at this point) irrelevant things. So damn awesome! 👍

[@squarebruh5473]

Fredrik Wahlgren nice man I go to mma keep it up. im a black belt👍

[@jackjordan6716]

+Kaden Hatch lol no you're not

[@Aarsvold86]

[@ushercabessa9348]

[@NinjaKidXD09]

You have the best BJJ Videos on youtube man!

[@jesserinseattle]

Great explanation and delivery. Thanks for posting!

[@iansinclair6256]

Thanks for the post. I was forgetting the risk of leaving one in and the other out to do a one leg stack pass. Thanks for the reminder. I got caught out a few times last week.

[@predatorclan]

Great stuff, really well explained from a great BJJ practitioner.

[@nicocontreras5366]

I love these videos,they are good to review and learning----

[@todei79]

I love this guy. Such an awesome instructor.

[@AndrewRenne]

Your videos are great!!! Thanks for bumping my triangle defense up! I always get caught in them and those arm placement details helped so much!

[@stanley3895]

After 10 years, how are you doing in jiu-jitsu now?

[@FunnyRumel2]

very good explainage, background info and overall technique, thanks

[@bosox737]

Good video. Definitely need to try this during my next roll. Thanks

[@dmacdougall61]

Super useful, super clear. Thanks so much!!!

[@turtlerespecter]

Love your videos. Downloaded your book through your site and am signed up for the tips via email. You've helped me tremendously; Thanks for all the knowledge!

[@noroles]

another great tutorial :) Thank you Mr. Kesting!

[@christofffrazier4225]

Thanks Stephan, great escape.

[@lifeisgoid]

you must always create space to escape any situation in my humble opinion.Great video my friend.

[@eeiko321]

love your videos stephan

[@senfoong]

Use the stack and spin all the time - forgot about the step over the head tonight when I was teaching it. Thanks for the refresher! Oddly enough, I taught the foot in the armpit one tonight, as well! All before watching this video...that's scary!

[@fillardmillmore4066]

Thank you very much for your insight, I really enjoyed your video. I will definitely check out the others, great tools and technique, thanks again!

[@RandolphDgr8]

thanks stephan, that was very useful !

[@fasalrafiq]

Thank you so much for videos!!! Very helpful

[@mrbrandon6438]

Great show.

[@joeysowell3897]

Ahhhh man! Growing up as a wrestler I’m prone to being caught in triangles... this has helped a ton on my defense! 🙌🏼

[@freddytroncci377]

Buena manera de enseñar ,gracias sensei , bless you go on.

[@CanguyMTL]

I don't really roll but I like watching these videos. Thanks! Just watched the one against Marcelo Garcia and it's crazy how good Garcia is. I keep coming across videos of him totally owning guys who are really good grapplers and I'm talking a tap every 30 seconds. Crazy stuff.

[@xXEviloLeprechaunXx]

These are some really good escapes! I competed about a week ago and lost my first round for being caught in a triangle, so these are definitely going to help me at the gym and definitely stuff I'll be working on! :D

[@TheRhythmFreak]

I did this last night. It works very well. Thanks for this.

[@240fxst]

Such an amazing art. Boa constrictor with arms & legs.

[@errcoche]

Stephan - great video. Hope to meet you some day. You've got that Canadian nice guy quality in spades as well as being a great grappling teacher and uber-enthusiast.

[@LovenChue]

Omoplata is a leg-over shoulder lock somewhat similar to the kimura; it's to be used when you're on bottom. Usuable in guard and rubber guard (maybe in other guards as well). It is applied when you wrap your right leg over his left arm and twirl around to apply the lock. Most effective with the Gi. Sorry if my explanation sucks but the technique is known as the Omoplata. You should watch other demonstrations if you prefer.

[@irphil47]

Thank you so much for these. This helped me not get triangled today!

[@harrisonw4559]

What an awesome video.

[@andreadantoniofficial]

Great video great tecnique!

[@wmuylaert]

Muito bacana a explicação. E nem precisa saber tanto inglês para entender, pois é rápido e direto na explicação. Parabéns

[@edmondlau511]

Will give these a try tomorrow. They don't seem to complex, might be simple enough for even me to pull off.

[@STR3AK]

Awesome stuff!

[@pr3tv731]

One guy from my first gym used to always get me in a triangle choke and I got really tired of it, so I found this video about 6 months ago. I was only a white belt at the time (he was a blue belt). I don't know how well it would work against high level practitioners, but the "Stack and Spin" Defense has worked for me virtually every time since I learned it. Thanks!

[@stanley3895]

Hey man, how are you doing 8 years later?

[@1234cnguyen]

Simple and effective! thank you!

[@frankstidham1439]

Great teacher. Thanks

[@AngelRosario]

Outstanding video

[@FrankieBlueEyes]

It's the basic stuff that works, great video!

[@Northstarjujitsu]

Thanks for sharing.. very easy to follow.

[@PosterChild63]

great stuff and explanation, as always. Thanks!

[@stanley3895]

10 years later man. How's your jiu jitsu?

[@santokukan]

Great videos.

[@AmirSfairFilho]

I like your classes! Tnx to share.

[@JohnSmith-hv2sr]

Thank you for the lesson sir, very helpful. I got a long lanky training partner that loves to triangle me and he's learning all my old tricks!

[@judorican973]

Very good detail!

[@StreetSkills13]

Great Stuff Man!!

[@terrellloeppky]

Really helpful, thanks!

[@Outlawe187LA]

Looks very interesting, I will try and use these techniques, thank you for the video ;-)

[@lhonkakanun4767]

nice and practical defense and offense...

[@francob13]

exelente video!

[@jdub7771]

I've been trying this and it works! I'm constantly getting in trouble trying to guard pass, finding myself getting into my opponents triangle. This helps me, until I can I can figure out my dumb mistakes getting into the triangle in the first place!

[@bornfedslaughter]

Ohh, so that's how you set it up from the Triangle. We didn't know, thanks so much William!

[@507ROD]

worked for me today, thank you

[@Farrux888]

awesome bro. love it easy andeffective.

[@angrybumblebee]

This is excellent.

[@mertdokur87]

Thank you so much for this video, I just rolled for the second time in my life and on of my partners being much smaller choked and had me tap out 2-3 times with the triangle choke. I practice these escapes diligently and hopefully I won't get choked so easily. Awesome video, I especially liked the one you recommend for the flexible people.

[@Bloodbone]

You still training BJJ? If so what belt are you? 😄

[@mertdokur87]

@@Bloodbone haha yes I do! I'm a blue belt now. Had a few serious injuries along the way.

[@mikejohnson961]

Thanks! This will help me for my bjj class
