The Best Jiu-Jitsu Search Engine in the World
BJJ black. belt Jon Thomas shows you one high percentage way to do the triangle choke from the open guard. In this technique he uses a collar sleeve grip and off-balances his opponent first (using the foot on the biceps position) before finishing the triangle choke. This is a technique from his Open Guard System, produced by Stephan Kesting and Grapplearts.com, available in DVD, online streaming and app form at https://www.grapplearts.com/openguard
I truly can’t fathom this. Many asked me what I’d do. I’d use Jiu-Jitsu and pin him to show him how helpless he truly is and he’s only breathing because I allow it. I’d certainly use BJJ in this situation. 💔
I like training both…But as I get older I do prefer the technical pace of the Gi. You can’t get away with as much speed / athleticism / etc… With the gi you also have far more moving parts: Gi / Sleeves / Lapels /etc. Plus with the Gi you have more options / danger related to chokes. Without the Gi you are a bit more limited with strangulations. The Gi also seems more relevant to real life. Most people where I live wear coats / shirts / pants. As much as I say this… I take off the gi and am like, “Wow I love No-Gi”. So I guess I love both for different reasons. Kind of like your own kids… What an amazing sport that we can even choose.
