Took a sick day today due to anxiety and was able to make the day class. My anxiety was relieved and my neck can't move now.

Would a white belt with a few months experience get any value from the Ryan Hall Triangle DVDs? Or are they better for advanced people.

I found Ryan Hall dvd's awesome for explaining and breaking down stuff, it was a while before my body would cooperate with my brain on alot of it but I'm old and not athletic.

You'll probably glaze over and not appreciate 95% of the stuff, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it. There's only two details I think I got from those DVDs: maintain the angle, and press with the leg instead of squeezing the thighs. These two things just clicked with me, and my triangles really improved from there. A single move that you like and can use would make those hours of watching well spent.

It's really interesting to have something in your arsenal which you are confident in using. And having a good understanding of why a submission does what it does and how you get there is a tremendous thing.

Drewjitsu posted:Ding ding ding! Everything else is just countering the resistance they are giving you to get to that finish. Yeah. I don't know if I got this from the DVD, I think instead it was training, then the DVD, then getting the move on people repeatedly. Its a big difference from remembering things rote. "Pull the arm across" is only so useful. Understanding that the triangle is a head and arm choke, and the reason you put the arm across is to situate the shoulder against your opponent's neck, so that when the squeeze comes your leg presses against one side of the neck and the shoulder the other. This understanding the principal allows for a lot of creativity, and I feel is simpler to remember than the rote method. The principal can be applied to a whole slew of different positions, any involving head and arm chokes. It allows for on-the-fly adjustments and the development of personal variations.

IIrc, if you do the triangle right you don't even have to pull the arm across the belly.

I find it easier when it’s not across the belly, when they frame the arm on you?In that situation you just rotate your locking leg until it’s parallel with your choking leg. So your feet are pointing in almost the same direction? That always gives me a really fast finish.

Like this: In this picture, that choke is 100% on, while the triangle isn't locked, and the guy taps a second after this screenshot. The left thigh is pulling the shoulder into the neck, and the two shins are parallel.  In this one, the triangle is locked, and the more he rotates his left foot outwards, the more his left thigh is going to force the shoulder into the neck. I find this finish works incredibly well if the arm isn't across the body. It's from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grwbdB_6_ys

I have exactly the same problem. It seems to happen on the entry, and I usually can’t fix it if I entered badly.

If you want to know the reason for the split in DDS, read the comments between Jon Calestine, Gordon and Garry in this post. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnrQyp0FiCZ/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=15qbx71mij6x I'm pretty bummed out about this because I've known all these guys since they were blue belts and like all of them.

Kind of glad that type of stuff never happens in our gym. But I get it, these guys are incredibly high level, a lot of competition in the room. quote:But it's ok I get it, not everyone is like me... actually, no body is like me, that's why I'm the loving best UGH.

When you look at people like Ryan, AJ and Danis it totally makes sense why. Those attitudes are just horrible for Jiu Jitsu as a whole.
