I was rolling with my instructor a couple weeks ago and he had me in a triangle choke and stuffed my attempts to escape, so I tried the Hail Mary escape and it actually worked! I was amazed. He said it took him by surprise.
Man, I could've used these yesterday. I am white belt. I rolled with a smart ass brown belt yesterday who got me in a triangle. Instead of picking him up and slamming him hard, I let him get his triangle. So here I am looking for triangle escapes, and these are sweet! Thank you!
There's one blue belt I roll with who loves triangles... I think I'll try some of these excellent techniques with him this week... (slight baiting perhaps) lol... I'll either escape or tap... both are fine with me in the grand scheme of things... as long as I'm learning and trying. Thank you again. Oss!
Last time i also rolled with a blue belt and almost got out. I stretched my neck and shoulder out. And put my own hand around my neck and supported it by the chin. That why my arteries were not pressed on. But it was just a stall situation.
I love this, because I have never seen any of these. My triangle defense consists of not getting there, and then doing a stacking triangle break that works against a fully locked in triangle, so it's nice to have more than just the hail Mary escape I already know
I know this is an old video, but I used the hail Mary escape twice this morning when my coach had me in a triangle where I was on my side. He had a good hold of my right arm trying to armbar me, but I was still able to use the left arm and crash it down on the mat to break the triangle. I survived the round!
Your very right about that. I love this videos very good and clear to follow. Iam from the netherlands and the language makes it harder for me to understand but not on this channel it perfect just like the lessons from John Danahar also perfect 👊🏻👍🏻🥋
I really like the one around 1:23. I'm developing a style that uses a lot of knee on belly and heavy pressure from the top, so I'll be sure to add it to my arsenal. Thanks a bunch!
i will say that as an eighties guy, (49 y/o) the only complaint i have is that as opposed to the days when i was dropping about 50 bux a pop on tapes, at least they ended. now it's like, "ok....just one more video and i will get my day started." i actually wrote a program titled..."black belt in a month" consisting of grappling, karate and conditioning regiments, and my ultimate conclusion at the end of that course is that if you do not ultimately become your own best instructor, you haven't learned a damn thing. i like to watch vids here and freeze them and go over counters or other options for the hold. sadly, all my plans were round-filed due to a chronic illness. great channel.
With all due respect, because I'm glad your promoting yourself on social media, it's a disservice to say that if you have full on triangle on you, that your only option is to tap. Tapping is after attempting 1-4 different stages of escapes. There are several full on triangle escapes, that will work on brown and black opponents. If a simple "Early triangle escape" is needed, then one just needs to posture/stand up and shrug shoulders. Lower belts want to know how to escape a full triangle late in the match. Thank you for your videos Sir!
I’m pretty sure I spent the entire video discussing the different options for different stages of early to late in the submission. You reiterated my entire point of the video, so I’m not sure what the “disservice” I’m doing is....
I find BJJ very difficult because in a live situation you need to be able to assess and react to a player who knows what you know. This is a great breakdown of when and what escape you should try. The Hail Mary at the end is fantastic. Thanks for posting.
I’ve watched all the best on UA-cam and Eli is by far the very best. No bullshit just clearly explained techniques. You are such an inspiration to me mr Knight.
I really love these! I have been focusing on baiting the triangle on purpose to move in for a stack but some of my more regular partners are catching up to this and either not going for the triangle or, for the most stubborn, preventing the stack. This gives many options and for both sides, really like it! will work on them one by one for next couple of months or so. thanks so much!
They are for sure. I’ll be watching this before ju jitsu in the morning to try and remember them. I end up in the triangle a lot as well as the armbar. But I have got my own ways of escaping it as well. I roll over for it then spin out of it. Usually ending up in side control or very close to it. Always thanks to you.
thanks for these escapes, they seem much better than how i normally escape the triangle, i like to or only know to stack them up. i stack them up the move around the side free arm, and press their knees down to their face. i learned to bring their chest to chin, for two reason, ones it can close their breathing and two some people are so comfy being rolled up. But i definitely like these additions. Thanks so much Sensei Knight.
There are a lot of things that can work for sure. Plenty that aren’t mentioned here that I’ve seen be very successful. I hope these are some helpful options too. Thank you so much!
I’ll have to get these. I always stack to the side of the arm in the triangle. Pull my head. Drive the elbow of trapped arm to the floor, cause it co tells lower body then drop my torso down into side control. This always works for me. But I will add these for sure. Thanks Eli. As always your instruction improves my abilities. I hope you open your school soon.
Hi, I tried the last one today against a purple belt (I'm a white belt) and it worked, I managed to escape and get to side control. Thank you for the informative video, I found it really helpful. 🥋👌👍🙌
I have never seen any of these and they are already the best escapes I've seen. At 5:05 do you like to keep the leg stapled and posture up and knee cut? I'm just wondering what to do from that position to prevent the opponent's back take since the right arm is already stuffed over.
I got to this video after the standard triangle escape attempt didn’t work for me. The way you work through the timing of the triangle position is awesome. I’m putting myself in the triangle on purpose (one arm in one arm out) just to feel the position and to work through it. The person I’m working with is a talented brown belt (an IBJJF pan am winner). Long and lanky type, so the triangle works for him. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 to see if any of these techniques work well.
10 yr kickboxer and fml triangles are my bane in bjj. Like, I always fall for them and can't get out aside from sucking my head out and hurting my neck. Even advanced techniques and leg locks don't work as well as these dang triangles do. I just can't get the hang of defending them.
hey at 5:56, if you were limber enough, how about pulling him in and popping up, and with your right leg, cross-step over his face and lock-out the leg, allowing leverage to finish the escape..i think you would end up him face down and you in a position to spin around to take the back. ??
Great video! Wish I watched it before last nights class 😂. I was able to escape with the stack option but would have loved to have known about the earlier options that you covered.
Today I kept getting caught because the guys legs are so strong and I’m only a beginner I’m tiny compared to him he’s far more advanced, I keep forgetting that I’m not using my body e.g pushing or moving my knees to transition upwards… I love this
This vid has helped out a ton! I was able to use the escape at around 4:10 on a purple belt at my BJJ school! He still got me in the end though, but I’m proud of myself for catching a purple belt off guard! (I’m a white belt with two stripes btw)
Wow 👍🤙 big thx, now i have some escapes to train and now i am not so afraid anymore. Because sometimes when i go vor an double under, i came in a dangerous triangle position.
A question master, is possible explain moreless the same but when he is pulling your arm in strong way?, I have seen that situation many times. Thanks master 👍
Please, just call me Eli. I don’t like the word “master.” And I am happy to answer if you’ll provide me with some more info about what you’re describing.
Hi Eli, thanks for answer. Let me try to explain me clear: some times the attacker catch you with his both hands your arm pulling you in strong way and preparing triangle or ambar. In this video you comment how scape from triangle and is so nice, but sometimes in same position you explained the attacker grab you one wrist pulling with his both hands, of course if you are a bit strong you can old on but if you lose the attacker can finish triangle or ambar. As I comment I have seen this many times, I escaped once but was using force, but Im sure maybe is not the correct way. Would be glad if you can oriented not only me but also other students. Thank you so much Eli.
Uke Squat checking in! Thank you for the different variations. Seems the key to escape is to make your move before he creates the angle to lock the ankle behind the knee. Thank you for the important detail. It's never been explained to me like this.
See I always stack someone with head pressure and it works but when I try to circle or just do anything I get triangled. Definitely going to try your stack to posture head defense and hopefully that can be my go to bait move if I fail the stack
Gotta be careful with that hail Mary escape because you might find yourself in a mounted triangle, which is not an upgrade lol. Really good video though, thanks for the tips! I'm usually the guy putting the triangles on and now I'm going to be looking for those shoulder attacks on my opponents escapes.
No doubt you present options and options buys time and time gives us advantages to find a submission attack. Im a white belt and only 6 months in but i can hold my own pretty good now and its fun now. Before i felt defenseless. I hated to tap out but tapping out simply means i can get started in a better position and learn from my mistakes.
I was grappling with a maybe 25-29 year old, got me on a triangle, always fall for that. Did some other stuff, and at the last second of the 6 minutes, did a butterfly when his chest was on top of me. Didnt make him submit, but as a 14 year old, I wish I got that on camera.
Hey coach, in the push @5:01 do you think it would work right when you put your left knee of his right feet and instead use your left hand to put that feet down and instead of passing with the left knee make it a slide right knee and you pretty much have a side control pass? I just thought about it when I saw it! Thank you for this techniques!
I’ll have to think about how you’re explaining it a little, because it’s confusing to read those details and picture it. But if I understand correctly then I think that would be doable.
@@KnightJiuJitsu Im sorry my main lenguage is not english but I´ll try to explain it as good as I can typing hehe, so, in 5:03 you put your left knee up his right feet, instead of passing that left knee on his right knee outside, holding the feet down with your left hand, pose up a little bit (kind of like in a sprawl) and slide your right knee on the outside of his right knee and quickly moving your left hand to his head so you can use it to pull his head and pass him to side control. Hopefully it was better explained hehe! Im loving your videos an currently being vinge watching them! Thank you once again OSS!!
Ace. Every class Im using stuff from these videos, particularly one where I practised it for months, now folk think twice about hittin certain moves with me.
I hit the first one like 3 times with a pass in last nights practice all against higher belts. Very good move if you can hit it early, like he says. I did get in trouble when one guy forced my arm across My body, so I will do the second move next time. Thanks!
I was rolling with my instructor a couple weeks ago and he had me in a triangle choke and stuffed my attempts to escape, so I tried the Hail Mary escape and it actually worked! I was amazed. He said it took him by surprise.
That’s awesome!
I try it too but i was still stuck in it 😂 what i am doing wrong thanks
What was the escape ?
Same. My instructor is 6'4 and 200 lbs. His favorite submission is the triangle. The Hail Mary saved me.
thats pretty sigma rizz ngl
Jiujitsu definitely helps keep me in shape! Unfortunately that shape is usually triangles. Haha thanks so much, I really needed this
As a 55 yr old 4 stripe white belt. This is absolute Gold! Been getting triangled a lot lately.
I hope it can help. Thanks for watching !
💪🏽💪🏽
Also getting triangled a lot as a white belt haha😅my coach said “both in, both out” (i.e. have both hands inside their legs or both hands outside).
@@FLUPP_NUTS had both my hands out. still got choked to oblivion. guess im just bad lol
@@LuckyGo_0se I think at that point, still gotta watch out for the legs around the neck as opposed to the head 😂
most underated BJJ channel on YT
Thank you! It’s growing steadily but I appreciate that comment a lot.
Wait.... there's other channels??? 😅

Lmfao! You and me both brother!!!
I get caught in triangles pretty often. Gonna study this video and try a few of these in the next couple of weeks.
This is really helpful!!!

Me: I came from eren vs reiner

Well, I greatly appreciate you watching and telling me!
Amazing escapes!!

Lol I was literally looking up technique's on this very topic earlier.
Glad I timed it well then!
I’m going to let myself get triangled next few days and test these out. Lost my most recent superfight via triangle.
That’s a good way to get build that defense is to keep getting there in training. Thank you!

Like this one? 😊

Thank you
Cool ideas. 👍
Awesome 👏🏾
I hit the first one like 3 times with a pass in last nights practice all against higher belts. Very good move if you can hit it early, like he says. I did get in trouble when one guy forced my arm across
My body, so I will do the second move next time. Thanks!
Dude, your tips always help me, I won a tournament due your tips, please not change 👍
That is awesome! Congrats!
Nice!
Ive tried the last one but i was not able to open his legs...till the time over he tried to attack the far arm in somehow
When I did late escape, hand of trapped arm was behind opponent's legs, elbow still in triangle and partner did armbar on me. Any advice to avoid it?
I’m trying to write a graphic novel and your videos are great for making fight scenes
That is one of the coolest things I’ve heard all day. I definitely want to see it when it’s done!
Perfect 👍🖒Thank you
The hail Mary is the one!
