Triangle from z guard

If you watch the video again, you'll see that Drew didn't even get his ankle behind his knee for a fully locked in triangle and the guy still tapped.

Its SOOOO tight. As long as I hold my shin I get the tap regardless.

It's just my arm and my leg around his neck. I just had the back of my knee over the side of his neck and as soon as I reached up and grabbed my shin he tapped - his face went bright red too, so it was definitely 'on'.

Looking at this pic from the video I don't see the defender's arm inside the triangle either..?

If you're doing it no arm in you're not doing this specific technique correctly. If you watch where Drew is setting it up his uke's right arm ends up in the reverse triangle. Absolutely a choke and a brutal triangle choke at that used at the highest level. Braulio vs Galvao

Even in the pic you just posted the arm is in the Triangle.

I think I know how to settle this. Brian you have to fly Drew out for a personal seminar.

When Fabi gets back from class, Ill make a short vid from other angle so we can all be clear that the arm is in.

I don't think it could be any clearer.

This thread is comedy, with some hardcore JJ thrown in...

Ok I get it the arm is in!

Jesus guys, I said that like a page ago...

The arm is in - but I don't think it is "IN". I don't think the choke is coming from the arm that is "IN" .... is it?
