The Biggest Misconception About The Triangle Choke

[@shoukisaragi4872]

Bro I must really be watching too many Danaher instructionals, I thought I saw his face when you said his name…

[@mike_blog2271]

same...

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Hahaha you definitely saw the danaher face!

[@hassanesdaile3671]

😂😂😂

[@ziapsp4167]

I knew it made it tighter the arm across, but the idea of breaking the posture is way more important. so obvious now Jon pointed it out awesome

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Such a simple idea but makes a huge difference when you focus on it and guy postures.

[@crakface]

KZbin has rent in my brain. I was casually thinking about finishing triangles on a postured opponent today and here we are.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

It’s crazy how accurate they are with these videos!

[@austinwiebe2648]

One thing about pushing the arm across that I’ve noticed is it makes the shoulder span smaller making it easier to lock in the choke. But that’s just me

[@davidwilson8310]

Ok I still had trouble with this tonight and a really nice brown belt was giving me some really good points. I just keep forgetting to make that shift with my foot off the thigh to really get that lock in and connect my foot under the opposite leg

[@Jiu-JitsuJourney257]

I’ve been taught to never put your foot back down to the hip to adjust the choke. Readjust the choke by doing the windshield wiper motion with your legs. The less you see of the shoulder, the better.

[@2Point]

If I have “Diamond” and can’t get the arm across, I shoulder walk and switch to teepee if I still can’t get the arm across. This also works if they have giant shoulders and you struggle to switch from diamond to triangle

[@fiftyfadesofgrey]

The angled triangle choke “Danaher“ version was meant for people who don’t have long legs like JT. Lol Have harder time locking triangle. The angle makes it so much easier.

For one second I thought Carl Froch was doing BJJ!! (He’s a middleweight boxer from the uk) ⭐️🙏🏽

[@abell8533]

man those long arms and legs sure are helpful lol

[@morcdes1]

Or you could do a nasty wrist break if he frames belt.

[@pancraseash9002]

Interesting point of view inwouldnt say its a misconception, just that if you can't easily get the arm across its not 100% needed.

[@aboud8348]

What to do if he defend by getting up on his legs ?

[@navinthiyambarawatte5121]

Wait wait wait you can do the triangle without bringing the arm across?

[@ajbjj]

Where did you get that gi?

[@theprofessional8966]

Ok, you know this guy don’t know what he’s doing, he’s not wearing shorts, and don’t have a lady between his legs. I mean that’s BJJ.

[@PathtoMidnight]

You are a homosexual.

[@arjunbadeshia2893]

Is practicing with a gi or no gi better for street defense

[@NoBody-ro3xj]

Doesn't matter do both

[@Jbreeziee]

The leg that is on the side that you have his arm on should he under your other leg dude. How are you a black belt?

Danaher triangle finish? How about just triangle finish. It's always been a triangle finish whether people have been doing it wrong or not.

[@bigballsmarketing3639]

Lol

[@darkmagician1710]

Tell Danaher that

[@henryc6289]

@@darkmagician1710 How about you tell the samurais that created it the techniques that it's now called the Danaher triangle.

[@rashiro]

Can you get the tap without the arm across? Sure. Is it a great way to get slammed on your head if you’re using this outside of sport BJJ? Sure.

[@7avin]

U don’t need the arm across you need to make the angle with ur body

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah the main idea though is that you need to break the posture and if he frames you, you have to break posture to attack. The angle won’t do any good if he is postured out of the triangle. The arm across doesn’t matter for the finish, it matters to break posture, after that you can focus on angle and don’t have to care about the arm.

Me "you have to spar ! Nothing matters if you don't practice!" Also me "eah I learn enough ground from KZbin"

[@AndreLobov]

That's like thinking you don't need to bench press if you watch enough youtube videos of people doing it
