Mounted Triangle - The Easy Way!

[@btm1]

I like the emphasis on preventing injuries

[@vincechanhealthy6373]

I agree with this guy. Safety (potential injuries from moves) is so important to watch out for.

[@slattman1509abn]

This is the best explanation and demonstration of the mounted triangle that I have seen so far. Also, explaining the concept that mount is the same as guard was a light bulb moment for me. I hadn't thought of it that way before. Thank you Coach Tom, your lessons are solid gold.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thanks for the kind words and my absolute pleasure! Happy triangling! (-: Coach Tom Davey

[@s6383]

Ah never thought of that lol cheers 💡

[@aaronramsden1657]

Putting your body weight on the arm to immobilize it is an invaluable detail I never knew, thanks!

[@Iron-Bridge]

Love the little details like injury prevention and the option of the arnbar if the mounted triangle is compromised.

[@jamierossi6936]

I just woke up 15 minutes ago & watched this video. I love your precise explanation. I've never knew this method. Guys at my gym are always getting me in S-mount, but I can never do it to any of them because I'm not flexible. You made this step by step crystal clear. Rolling to my back to finish will really help. I liked your spaceship metaphor (guard same as mount). --- "This is ground control to major Tom...." Thanks, again!

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Great comment Jamie. Time to get those rolling partners back with some mounted triangle justice! (-; (-: Coach Tom Davey

[@raecarterrc]

I am using this sub at least once every session now thank you so much

[@Kev80ification]

Nice demo Tom Bro!

[@SpaceCityGuard]

Wanted to comment on the same thing some had said. Understanding the mount is the same as close guard was cool! Thanks for this explanation. I was in a position to do this the other day, I wanted to do it, I just didn’t know how.

[@johnnycrowell5716]

Had my ankle popped, hurt for a long time after, I always roll to finish as well. Really enjoy your videos and teaching style, Oss from Nova Scotia, Canada.

[@hunterchipman4184]

I appreciate how professor Tom really breaks moves and techniques to the smallest detail. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of this art

[@aaronholland2771]

I can’t wait to try this entry to the triangle! I love the position because I’m painfully aware of the misery of being on the receiving end...

[@MrExploRat]

Mount = guard My mind = blown Thanks! :D

[@abatson5]

Proud to be subscribed to your channel so early. With this content you're putting out you'll blow up in no time!

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thanks Anthony I am glad you like the channel! Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom Davey

[@ChrisSmart-oj4vb]

Great, simple and clear..not too long video.

[@otiscrosbie7859]

These videos always help me plan classes and get extra details, thanks!

[@COACH_ANTHONY_MMA]

Great video I will try this in class in about an hour.

[@Syrius12345]

I swear I love this Pof. He teaches like no one else!

[@thomasroberts1192]

Acknowledging the potential arm bar was/is a game changer! Love the content. More please 👍❤️🤍💙

[@megoblks]

Just wanted to say, I love you vids. They are incredibly helpful. Last night I legit tapped my first mucher bigger opponent with this and it felt amazing to pull off :)

[@fantastic40s]

Truly Awesome! Thanks Professor Tom

[@NT-vb9vv]

Very clear and concise. Keep em coming

[@ericstewart4732]

Love the content. Thank you.

[@aidenwilson9874]

Great as ever

[@brrrt6666]

I'm loving this!

[@kajalgharib1222]

I really want to know why this video got 5 thumbs down ?!! It’s a great video. I tried everything that I watched on your video and always impressed my coach and everybody that I practice with. By the way I just attended 10 classes and I’m really new in this, but I got so much compliments:) Thanks coach Tom

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Haha, if there weren't any thumbs down then it wouldn't make the thumbs up stand out! I cant make everyone happy otherwise Id probably be a sell out! Happy rolling (-: Tom Davey

[@DP-dd6hl]

Well what can we say... magical. Never even considered a triangle from there. great vid

[@jacobducastel5199]

Awesome Video

[@LucasClaunch]

Super helpful I’ve been struggling with this!

[@deecampbell.rva-2]

Great teacher.

[@AllKindzzzz]

[@leohughes6457]

Thank you very much Coach Tom

[@calebfannin5347]

Beautiful

[@cb3580]

Coach Tom. This is awesome. Thank you for your tips.

[@123mrsporty]

Very nice technique and explanation!

[@ibrahimrahmani6754]

You explain BJJ so well and easily 👏🏼

[@millsakov]

Excellent! love this!

[@gutse007]

[@DreamTaker502]

Awesome technique as usual

[@masterrajanaeemqaisarchinesema]

very good job keep it up

[@lukascanio3794]

Love these videos!

[@Stumpasm123]

BJJ in a spaceship imagine how interesting that would be!!

[@Lance-Sir]

Excellent

[@BM-of6dg]

This was great!

[@sambranch2539]

Reece should be called ‘the smiling grappler’ 😂

[@Septynor]

Gonna try this one out tomorrow! Thank you SO much for taking in time and effort to make these videos and sorry for spamming your channel. Am I your biggest fan yet? Lol

[@dinsy69]

Funny that you say you have seen injuries here. Every time I’m in this position my feet and ankle are killing me. Now I know I’m not crazy.

[@PeterJames143]

Nice!

[@sdzachar]

I like it a lot

[@bedevere007]

Nice

[@gracetienter5363]

*me with a broken ankle trying to figure out where my triangle went wrong* 3 min into video “if he bridges and lands on my heel” 😳 yep… never again will I lock my triangles from the top.

[@thegreygrappler6280]

Awesome

[@SatnamReehal]

Good vid bro

[@RSTAxPSLICEx]

daont be afraid of that ahm baaahr, unless you're on the bottom ;)

[@Bocchi_The_Acoustic]

If they have their hand held together when youre donig the triangle what if they pull their other arm out so you cant choke them out?

[@Raiqunz]

Mouted triangle to arm bar easy ASF minus controlling arms, did it on my 240lb friend lol

[@gregjennings9442]

My gym tends to base forward on our forehead, rather than rolling, to make it easy to lock the triangle.

[@jayzvibes5821]

Armbar from mount 2:42recap 3:35

[@yasserd0153]

who's here after Khabib did it

[@tkana2020]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Ekoteo]

Me😂😂

[@8BallMMA]

Couldn’t understand

[@fastlanenigeria]

When?

[@bigben42]

@@fastlanenigeriathe Justin Gaethje fight

[@calbaking]

this is great, because i keep losing mount when i attempt a traditional armbar during the transition where I move my legs up. using this I can bypass that while I learn what im doing wrong, and hopefully tap some of my bros while doing so.

[@ertizakazi7633]

nice

[@sawadee5612]

I love this move coach but when rolling with people although I’m grabbing my ankle and rolling over to finish it I’m having trouble locking it out.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Remove the shoulder from your triangle. I have a video on this coming in the next week or two. (-: Tom Davey

[@OlleDenStore]

Thanks a lot for this video. Great explanation! I have a question though. I've been playing around with this while rolling and I tend to get swept before I can pin the hand and get my leg under the head. How should I posture to keep my balance?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Simply make sure you are above their hip line and balance the opposite way to the roll. Attacking posture in mount is totally different to a control posture so perhaps try to control mount longer first and then when you are ready, hit this move with full gusto! (-: Coach Tom Davey

[@OlleDenStore]

Ok, thanks a lot for the quick reply! That was really helpful.

[@michaelclifton2436]

I know how to triangle in zero G environments. Time to join the space marines.

[@trenchhalo5968]

So question what if there being stubborn with the head and not letting your have the head what do you do ? I had the problem last night I couldn't finish mounted triangle

[@kensley94]

So this is why little brothers exist. Wish i had one nearby 😔

[@PrinceOfPalestine]

its crazy that khabib hit this going the opposite way when he turned to his side

[@Native_love]

Love this coach! (NO HOMO!)

[@artemthetrain14]

How do I hip bump sweep from mount??

[@faronmclurkin1103]

Is your Patreon still available?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Hey Faron most people support my endeavors now through my main website where I sell instructionals and merchandise from the tee spring store we have (link is usually in the description section of newer videos). (-: Tom Davey

[@icar7577]

How can you mitigate from being unbalanced and ending reversed on bottom?

[@Grandroborox]

He mentioned pulling the head to reduce the bridging force.

[@caglartunca34]

are you happy with that mike fowler gi?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Good question. It did shrink quite a bit and is very heavy and stiff. I like the design though! (-: Coach Tom Davey

[@shashwatpandey4484]

No video found which i can dislike coach

[@fuloran1]

The enemy gate is DOWN!

[@TalesIncs]

Hi teacher, at 2:11, you crossed legs over even though his fist is still inside your guard, plus connected. Will the triangle still be able to be held? Will he be able to pull his trapped arm out?

[@TalesIncs]

also its important because, if this really works, it means i can ignore the holding their arms together and just cross over! in the past it was this holding arm together which i keep trying to get rid of when trying to slide my leg through to the neck.

[@TalesIncs]

also if the arms are holding each other the armbar may not be available, as you might not be able to pull the arm out. please advice on that so i can make it work!

[@ryanwilkins7080]

You said pull towards hamstring in first demo (right leg) in the second demo youu appeared to pull towards the left leg. Is it equally effective

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Always placing the arm against a hip not groin for an optimal fulcrum. (-: Tom Davey

[@jastib]

Is it IBJJF legal to pull the head from mount

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Yep

[@heatheryonce2419]

How you get out of mount triangle and how to prevent it

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Don’t get in it! Defend mount and keep your head pinned back

[@juntjoonunya9216]

2:51 this should be in the intro

[@slavicvolk]

1:03 technique

[@tjl4688]

The only problem I have doing this from mount is getting my leg around the head. Gravity is working against me here.

[@tekrey3004]

Oss

[@OfficialSpin]

now what if he doesn't keep his arms in the same spot for 30 minutes

[@blag6666]

Like in the real life, bjj has to be simple.
