New variant triangle we have been using:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/733553463659020/permalink/765400100474356/
I can publicly discuss it now that John has released it.

That triangle stuff looks looks neat as hell -- the actual triangle mechanics/finish made me think of one I've only ever seen in a pair of Neil Melanson videos from a while back:

2014 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSGfAFE3qV4
2013 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bizcQ0wZQkg

...although rewatching both Danaher's and Melanson's inverted triangles, they're actually done with opposite arms trapped, even though both of them underhook uke's left leg. Melanson ends up with uke's free arm behind his butt and hugs uke's trapped arm and their underhooked left leg; Melanson's choking pressure comes from his outside (left) thigh trapping the neck, inside thigh on the carotid, and calf behind uke's shoulder for the other carotid. Whereas Danaher rotates his hips behind uke's trapped arm (like a guard armbar), so uke's free arm is left next to their underhooked leg; Danaher's choking pressure comes from his inside (left) thigh trapping the neck, his hips forcing uke's shoulder into their carotid, and his outside (right) calf on the other carotid.

Triangles have long been one of my favorite chokes despite being not great at them. I need to practice them more in general, and want to try more of these inverted (ish?) triangles in particular!

We did a variation of this at a Jake Mackenzie seminar where you hook the bottom guys leg with yours to clear half guard nice to learn the name.

I too had never learned the name São Paulo or Tozi pass (in my notes from years ago I learned it without a name and just called it "underhook pass"), so it's good to know what it's actually named! Was Mackenzie's leg hooking variation like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLYOZYeY9IM
I originally learned this pass to include stapling their calf to the ground with your shin, then windshield-wipering your other foot over to complete the pass, but I like the looks of that ankle hook drag.

Had one of those extreme white belt moments where you do something so dumb its an immediately learning experience.

I've been experimenting with trying to get double underhooks on the legs when in someone's open guard. I was rolling, and realized I had one arm I could get an underhook on but the other one was caught. I was like "Well, i will get this one and then try for the other"

As soon as I did it I realized I just put myself in a triangle

Arm triangle finishing details (starting from side control already) from this thread's very own Yuns and a reply by Common Shore, from a few months back:

Yuns posted:

I'd bet cash money that you have the wrong arm position and that no amount of tightening will make the choke better and will just instead crank the neck.

The point of your shoulder should be UNDER the chin at the throat NOT across the face or jaw. a simple way to achieve that is to not drive forward too early. Get the grip around the neck deep but instead of immediately driving forward, lift your hips and extend your legs so you are tripoded up and drop the point of your shoulder onto his sternum then slide the shoulder forward under his chin, catching it and forcing his chin up. Then you can lower your hips.

Make sure your choking arm bicep is tight against the side of his neck/your elbow should be on the mats if its deep enough. Your hand should be all the way around to the other side. Use your head as a block on the trapped arm side against the side of his head. Now lock up your hands.

Now there are 2 ways to finish. Walk perpendicular to your opponent to force the arm across and finish. Or go knee on belly and lift the elbow of the choking arm off the mat to finish.

EDIT: Most people are content to "fix" their arm triangles by just cranking harder until they crank the neck or get a pain tap. The vast majority of blue belts can execute arm bars and triangles in an ok manner but are pure trash at arm triangles. If you get the mechanics right you will put people to sleep in a scary fast manner with little to no pain.

CommonShore posted:

^^^ :yeah:

I had a black belt give me a handfull of tips like this on my arm triangles and they went from ok to reliable. That up slice as you describe it from the sternum is key. I call it the Z cut. I get the grip around the head, clear the legs, and pull my shoulder back down to the sternum and then slice back up as if I'm tracing a Z with those three steps. Then if that doesn't immediately end it (it often does) I start burrowing my head underneath their head as I walk my feet out.

Let's do change topics:

I watched my Ryan hall deep half DVD for the first time since I bought it back in ...2015? Interesting how many more details I appreciate now.

I've started trying to become a half guard player as I get older. I think getting back to deep half will help that as I really enjoy diving under and can use my frame to stretch people while removing their explosive movement which is not my strength.

The lietes style helps a lot too, before deep half. I know he's a shorter but I feel like it's a good long man game because I can extend myself and their leg

John Danaher's half guard video with Bernardo Faria from recently included some good discussion of that: more connections to your opponent's body = slower roll, and half guard strongly connects you to your opponent's body, so it's great for slowing things down to negate a quicker opponent's speed. And you're gonna be slowing down when you get older, so half guard goes great with age!

Also y'know a ton of other stuff in that 27m44s video!

So we were playing around with a funky sub in class tonight, basically when someone turns toward you to defend the reverse arm triangle, you keep your shoulder pressure (so like, a reverse shoulder of justice) and then scoop their near leg and navy ride and move towards S-gripping your hands like a cradle. It's basically a really hosed up spinal lock (essentially the same action as a twister, except you're also folding them in half and putting pressure on their shoulder) and I dubbed it "the pepper mill" because it's spicy and you're twisting their upper and lower body in opposite directions.

Oh nice so like a straitjacket* -> breaststroke choke combo'd with a(n outside?) cradle hold. Quite different from what I had in mind before -- I interpreted the "reverse arm triangle" beginning as the arm-in NS choke (which I've heard called "reverse arm triangle" as well!),

"Peppermill" seems like a good name, and it looks horrible. Thanks I like it!

*or at least I learned that first motion, walking their elbow across their centerline with your hips, as a position/maneuver called straitjacket or barbed wire; it could also be a shoulder submission depending on their flexibility. Does anyone else call it that?

I have an odd way to deal with it if I know someone is going to backstep from my half into leg entanglements. I will anticipate and hook my outside leg ankle under their trapped leg usually at the ankle/shin with foot to the inside and knee to the outside and then use my inside leg to hook over the top of the trapped leg so that the leg is still pinned between my legs. When they backstep, they will not have my outside leg between their legs. On the contrary, I'll elevate their leg using that outside leg under the ankle and come up on them. Don't know if anyone else does that but that's my shut down.

Is this basically "wrong"-side lockdown, i.e. the lockdown figure-4 but your ankles are crossed to the outside of their trapped leg?

butros posted:

oh that's just mean


It's an ankle lock, but a sneaky one I really like is where you attack the ankle of the leg that isn't in 50/50.

So if our right legs are intertwined, I go to attack your left ankle, but instead of trying to finish with my right arm applying the achilles, I overhook your left foot with my right arm so the toes on your left foot are in my armpit. Then to finish, I slide the blade of my left arm under your left foot and grab my right bicep kindof like an RNC. Right hand then grabs the top of your left shin and I finish from there.

It's a really good option because guys who are good at defending in 50/50 are good at hiding that intertwined foot, and it can be really difficult to get the overhook control to fully finish a more traditional ankle lock relying mostly on your right arm so guys often don't see it coming till it's too late.

Not sure if there's a name for this - I couldn't find it when I tried to Youtube-fu, my coach just called it some sort of ankle lock version - a guy I caught it on recently (I mean the last time I rolled) said it was some sort of cloverleaf but in watching cloverleaf vids those look more heel hook-ey than this does.

Is it the ankle lock here, but from 50/50 rather than the saddle? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iByvUzTk4Ko

This does still transition to a saddle heel hook (unless they'd prefer to tap to the ankle lock first instead!). Danaher's assumption here is that the opponent will be able to handfight out of the figure-4 cross(?) ankle lock, which exposes their trapped heel by doing so; perhaps the same holds true in 50/50? Or maybe your entangled leg in 50/50 can block them from leaning forward well enough to handfight, providing you enough time/space to reliably finish the ankle lock?

https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020/jun/01/san-diego-police-department-cease-chokeholds-metho/

Sounds to me like for most cops its a lack of training all around in the matter of restraining suspects. This clearly sounds like a political move to appease the masses.

Two people trying to choke each other in the context of a competitive sport is cool and good (when there's no pandemic). There is a vast, unbridgeable gulf between that and cops choking people, which is neither cool nor good — especially when they kill them in the process! I don't think cops' potential lack of technical expertise at choking people is the actual issue here.

Incidentally this part of that article seemed important too: "California Department of Justice data from 2018 shows that people of color were two times more likely to be put into chokehold restraints than white people across the nation."

There’s a really gross lockdown counter where you make a bit of space so you can move the locked-down leg, then you just stand up. You kind of have to get your toes planted and then back away to get the rest of your foot flat. It’s very easy to injure people with it and it’s terrifying: lockdown player is completely immobilized, both legs crossed over each other, and you’ll destroy both their knees if you take it to the limit. The only picture of it that I can find comes from a documented case of instructor abuse.

I don’t recommend you do it to people, but that’s why I don’t like using lockdown.

:allears: that one's my favorite. I've never heard of a name for it, and the lockdown-er has essentially full control to release their lockdown at almost any point prior to it being fully locked in, which means it should only ever work on anyone exactly once. But it's hilarious to apply (carefully!) for that one time on someone who hasn't seen it!

I've never heard of it being especially dangerous though -- iirc the mode of submission is a sort of double calf slicer where the pivot/bar behind their knees are their own other ankles, and yeah calf slicers are no joke, so I guess yeah definitely be careful while applying it.

Yikes @ the instructor abuse though :gonk:

I've done this once before but I didn't pay attention at the time exactly how I had done it. So I know its possible, this is why I ask.

Ok, I'll try rotating my body.

As they turn away, my opponents tend to sit more upright as well, meaning I can't reliably use the mat as part of my attack. Using my shoulder in uke's shoulder seems like a good tip.

There's a video I saw a while ago that demonstrates some of what you're asking + what 02-6611-0142-1 is saying:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0NH-k1IEz4

The whole sequence is:
• Arm Triangle! ...but they turn away
• Arm-in RNC! ...but they loop their arms under their knee to separate their shoulder from neck
• Switch choking arm immediately for RNC on the now-exposed neck!

At the end of the video while going through that whole sequence, Seph Smith calls the arm-in RNC a sort of no-gi Ezekiel + RNC hybrid, so perhaps this is exactly the video mentioned! Not what I'd usually think of as an Ezekiel though.

What do I do if someone puts me in a triangle with no arm in? Like, they just wrap their legs around my head.

I know they can try to force a hand or fist in there for a choke but mostly the move just makes me mad because I'm prone to cauliflower ear. Do I stack them? I don't want to hurt someone's lower back or neck just because this move bothers me as an individual, are there other good responses?

If it's out of something like a double-under pass, keep your shoulders shrugged to prevent them from getting a bite on your head in the first place. If they still try locking their legs just on your head even while you're shrugging up, you should be able to wiggle out of the figure-4 (possibly shoving up with one hand) while completing the pass without getting your ears crushed.


Fake edit: by "they can try to force a hand or fist in there for a choke", did you mean the actual no-arms triangle? e.g.

I only glanced through the video once, but I tapped another purple belt today just by working his arm above his head until his shoulder couldn't take it. I made a couple other people suffer.

Its funny because I knew all these details before, but I never put them together in sequence from this position. It really works, and I barely play mount at all.

I specifically learned some "how to mount top" stuff similar to a lot of this, once upon a time, and that video makes it all click so much better than ever before. Like broadly these are much the same concepts as I was taught all those years ago, but just way more refined and cohesive — in particular, the initial palm-up cross-grip, and using your head motion to direct/power your structural pressure when separating and then killing their arm. Oh and I was never previously taught to finish the sequence by chest-smothering the opponent in order to provoke unsafe reactions   :black101:

Tripod sweep sounds right. I would turn and pull my foot out after breaking the sleeve grip.

Rotating to break an ankle grip when your foot's placed their stomach is quite legit I'd think, you don't want to mess around vs Estima Lock or Aoki Lock (depending on which direction your foot's pointing)

e: I misread and thought you were the bottom player here. Still very legit to break early ankle grips when your partner's the one on bottom!

Marcelo Garcia has a good video on some of that, demonstrated in no-gi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_6Pj5ycS6I
