How to Finish Triangles- on either side!

[@maxarsenault2224]

Hey tom just wanted to thank you, im close tog getting my blue belt now and in my last tourney i won 4 of my 5 matches all with submissions. Your setups and teaching is a big part of my game and just wanted to say thank you, congrats on the black belt its obviously deserved. Much love from the USA

[@dereksmithabroad]

4:56 Switch...sides. Open... Brrrrrp Switch...underpants.

[@mattmgarza]

He farted cartoonishly loud like five times, lol.

[@jakehawes2290]

Matt Garza ‘cartoonishly’ 😂😂🤣🤣

[@MrStrongBro]

All I can say is WOW! I've always known that angles make triangles, via switching your body perpendicular to their spine rather than being right under the opponent, but the little detail about getting their shoulder out of the equation makes a world of a difference, and takes the triangle to an entirely different level even for short legs. That switch triangle is something I've never seen before, I can't wait to try it. I've always immediately went for an ompoplata but it wasn't always successful. That kimura as a backup was the icing on top. I appreciate you sharing this knowledge! This is my favorite Jiu Jitsu channel as of now.

[@MikeVieira]

Ohhh!!! Love the side switch details!! Thank you! Professor Tom!

[@JayJitz]

Omg coach Tom thank you so much! I’m only 5’5” but triangle has been a real weapon for me. That switch over, 2 kicks to a kimura has worked for me. Pls keep posting videos to help short guys like me they depends so much on leverage.

[@The_Brew_Dog]

Your teaching style works for me. Thanks and cheers.

[@japastyle2475]

Friggin Awesome! Plan A,B, and C!!!!! I Love the Way you Teach Professor Tom!!!!!!

[@abdulmz1642]

Hi coach hope you remember me from the other video I watched this video and I drilled it at the gym now I'm just locking triangles both sides thank you so much the bully went to sleep thank you

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

🙏🤙🏼

[@x426x]

Awesome. I’ve been bless with short legs so moving to the side really helps. I’ve tried this several times but I can never get just one arm through.

[@richardhughes601]

I'll show this in class tomorrow...thank you coach!

[@AllKindzzzz]

That kimura is savage!

[@JMHolmesBMBLA]

Awesome video. Restarting my BJJ journey after putting on 70lbs in the pandemic. Finally got light enough to train regularly again and been at it 5 or so months. But... im 6'7" and crazy inflexible (working on that). So, anyone got any favorite submissions that length and strength can carry you? Triangles are definitely a go to and gonna try the techniques here for sure, but if any other long folks with knowledge would share advice, it'd be hugely appreciated 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Happy rolling

[@codylefevre937]

I have only been taught a push through. Although I've done a kick through in rolls I never knew that was a thing!!

[@codylefevre937]

Also never seen those details to a "switch triangle". It is the same as a reverse triangle right?

[@chaosdweller]

This was great info! I've been trying to do triangle chokes all wrong! for so long! This has changed my whole approach to this move, thx!

[@wesdowty79]

Good fart Professor! So much pressure build up. 5:00

[@tyhatfield7156]

Hey buddy today I was showing your video to a couple of my students and then specifically to one of my students is like 6 foot six and I wanted him to sub to you and then look at a lot of things that you do! I really believe you’re a great help for a lot of people whether they’re small large short or tall and big you’re awesome buddy

[@juntjoonunya9216]

6'4"?? And this whole time I thought you trained with short people

[@ncooty]

Thanks! I find it very useful when you talk about Plan B or how to minimize the effectiveness of the most common counters.

[@hucklebk]

Cheers Tom, you long legged Mack daddy 😎😂

[@jalob_s]

I love going into an omoplata when they defend the triangle by hiding their arm away

[@easycompany979]

Cool set up with the bouldering wall, the problems look a good uk 6c+, great for grip strength

[@Yellowhammerbees]

I love this channel, I get so much out of it!

[@FR-ty5vn]

Great 👍🏼 kimura off the triangle...

[@WhisperTheBand]

THANK YOU SERIOUSLY.

[@cristianoansome]

Sick coaching, I use your tips, thanks.

[@kubikiribasara3499]

Professor Tom, masterful videos, masterful teaching as always. I am a purple belt and I am revisiting triangle basics and details in my personal training (what I focus on aside from what my professor is currently teaching in class), and this video hits the spot. Thank you and will practice this tonight. Oss.

[@avocado9763]

Wow! Professor that was excellent. My instructtor left a couple of the little but important twists out.. Nicely done.

[@kcizere1992]

Great tutor nice video as well 👍

[@Nina-jc3be]

The triangle is the best. Such an informative video.

[@NeonBlazeMusic]

Best BJJ instructional vids imo

[@russwise9880]

[@fernandotvchannel]

Very nice Thanks 🙏🏿

[@JoaoPaulo-rn4qp]

Thanks from Brazil.

[@caglartunca34]

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Yes also a good option. (-: Tom Davey

[@zmoody]

excellent!

[@Nevrbetr]

Yay - Rhys is back 🤙

[@petermclean8243]

where is that hippy vegan guy ' i like him toooo

[@Nevrbetr]

Peter McLean I miss the “struggling Grappler” - that dude is awesome 🤙

[@hunternelson1679]

Awwwww another sneaky move to add to my collection of punishing good defense.😈

[@InscritosComVideos-pd1dc]

Cheers, coach Tom

[@phantomak3r477]

Impressive Work, Thank you.

[@michaelbrett6919]

Your videos are super helpful👍🏼

[@tonygee5673]

You’re impressive, mate. Have you competed in any tournaments?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

I have competed at all belt levels all over the globe 😊🤙🏼🥋 teaching is my focus nowadays but always love a challenge!

[@johntaylor335]

Great tips! See you in a few weeks in Dallas!!!

[@ynothughes]

Thank you. (From Hawaii)

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

My pleasure Anthony, I hope we one day get a chance to meet out there in Hawaii! (-: Tom Davey

[@fighterscorner6787]

Cracking video top notch coaching

[@prybarknives]

The "Silver Fox" calls it a reverse triangle, good stuff.

[@ThomasGrantMacDonald]

awesome techniques! always trying to improve my triangle game. thanks coach

[@MinhNguyen-ys6br]

So clean and simply great video!

[@HansDavidian]

I am beginning to suspect you & my professor have telepathic connection because this for the second time he also taught your technique in my class 😂😂😂😂😂 According to him, he learned the first tight triangle variation from John Danaher though.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Correct technique doesn't change much. I was taught this triangle as a white belt. Yet a coral belt taught me lol......(-: Tom Davey

[@joridporeci514]

Thank you so much!

[@ruechel]

OSS. Obrigado professor!

[@tobymaples7646]

Great video as always. Are you coming to master worlds?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

always! Hope to see you there (-: Tom Davey

[@billdrill22]

Love your videos and instruction. Thank you

[@hilly2387]

Thank you for the tips! This is great!

[@martinevans7777]

That was really helpful Tom... As im a midget lol and have short legs, so i will be trying that tonight 🤙

[@thegnjdk]

Good stuff

[@yea2100]

This is gold !!!! Thank you sir.

[@denisedacruz408]

Love this new sub!!!!!

[@johnhagebeuk8]

Thats powerfull thanks

[@STR3AK]

Awesome stuff

[@meanmach5896]

Great video as always Tom! A question, is there any different how you point your toes when you have looked the triangel. Toes pointed up to the roof? Or pointed straight straight forward to the wall. Hope you understand What i mean.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Although technically plantar flexing (pointed toes) enables easier locking, if you can, a dorsi flex in the feet is a much more secure hold! (-: Tom Davey

[@meanmach5896]

Thanks Tom!

[@ricardomoura6732]

Perfeito o triângulo !!! Oss

[@zleggitt1989]

Great video and great information. Maybe next time show this technique with someone who actually has short legs against someone with broader shoulders. Hard to convince me how easy this is when you're 6'4 and your partner looks like he's 5'7 and 60lbs lighter. Just a thought,I mean no disrespect.

[@Jesse1837]

YES been waiting for this ❤️ Prof Tom

[@thefullmonte1902]

Tom, when you get perpendicular, try to "scrape" the partners shoulder with the inside of your knee. You will see, that often a full triangle lock isn't necessary - as this move pushes his shoulder into his arterie. This has done tons in my ability to finish. Also, it is important that the top leg is flush with the side of his throat. That can be achieved by a kick out, before bending. Often as an adjustment.

[@Tornadofit]

brlliant.

[@martinmyggestik292]

This is goood!

[@SirFancyPantsMcee]

Im a squat 5 8... Id like to see him do it to you. Cause I have not been able to get tall wide guys in a triangle.

[@baztheman]

embrassed question: do you wear underwear in bjj shorts and long compression pants in bjj?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

For me: just underwear no compression stuff lol

[@jessesimonds6744]

Amazinnnnnnnng

[@HarperJones]

What if they stack you before you rotate and lock on the triangle

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

push their head and wiggle shoulders back and repeat the licking sequence. (-: Professor Tom Davey

[@Raivoization]

2:46

[@HotZiti]

mat frogs were out tonight

[@trustmeimaphysiologist]

6 people have been farted on in a triangle...

[@dubstepXpower]

What if he's punching you, while you try that?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Works fine in the UFC. (-: Tom Davey

[@974abj]

Pleaaaase wear a gi
