In this video I give some tips on becoming more comfortable in the bottom of a tight mount position in BJJ. This video is a response to someone who sent in a question asking for techniques to escape mount. But I don’t cover techniques because he said he tends to panic and become uncomfortable with the position. In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I believe it’s very difficult to survive and escape any of the dominant position if you aren’t able to get some level of comfort.

Now I’m saying you’re going to like being in the position or anything like that, but you do have to be able to relax enough to think and setup a proper defense in bad spots. This is true for any position in Brazilian Jiujitsu but I think it’s especially important in positions where you’re at a disadvantage and the smallest mistake could lead to getting submitted.

So if you’re having trouble panicking in the bottom of mount then I hope this idea of learning to get comfortable with the uncomfortable is useful to you.

Thanks for watching!

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

Today’s BJJ question is about using the triangle choke as a bigger person. Comes from our friend who says he’s a big guy and needs help finishing the triangle choke during rolling. So in this video I share some useful ideas on finishing the submission in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

The 1st one is that you DON’T have to have a full deep lock behind the knee with the triangle position. In fact, if you use your hamstring to finish the submission like I show in the video you’ll be able to finish it with a more shallow lock.

After that I show some ideas on setting up angles to finish and using the triangle choke not just as a submission but as a position that launch other attacks.

Hope the video is useful to you if you’re a bigger person trying to finish this submission.
