Triangle Choke from Turtle (Video) Gold Medal Match

[James O'Brien II]

Deceiving thread title. More like triangle from the back. Badass either way. But I was expecting you to be the one hitting a triangle FROM the turtle.

Thanks!

I'm sorry if you felt deceived. I normally refer to the position as Top Turtle.

Back Control, Back Rack, or Back Guard. I normally use those titles for when I have my hooks in. Or sometimes a body triangle from the back. Typically with myself laying on one of my hips or my back completely on the mat with my opponent facing upwards.

Congrats!

Thank you, sir!

At 3:47 you kinda look like Shogun.

Nice work, especially vs someone who tried to pull a stunt like walking off the mats. Bravo.

Thanks!

What is the Shogun reference??

[James O'Brien II]

That was great. Part of me said is he doing what I think he's doing... What'd he think this was the IBJJF?

How does the IBJJF access this situation?

Because it hasn't been the 1st time! (Video)

Technically. If you're submitting an opponent, and they end up out of bounds, you don't restart in the position, so for your case they would have taken you out of the triangle, and put you in a neutral position, and then awarded you an advantage point. I do however think that if you walk somebody blantently out of bounds you can get a penalty or even Dq'd. But that's just my interpretation of the rules.

This is absolutely correct.

Thank you, sir!

You seen that triangle set up here?! (:

Start the video around 1:55:

Yeah this is def the stuff we study lol!

Nice triangle from the back....i saw that somewhere recently

After looking back through my notes, I now know that, yes I did learn this set up from Ryan Hall.
No surprise there, lol. Being that Ryan Hall has arguably the best triangle choke in the business.

Chris, I wasn't aware you had and maintained a YouTube channel. You now have a new subscriber.
I look forward to viewing what you currently have uploaded and what you will upload in the future.

Nice job, James. I like your lockdown work. Needs a bit of refinement, but your definitely on the right path. Keep it up!
