Interesting Gracie "debate" on Triangle from (Monkey) Mount

[Jesse Bell]

When I try to "fly direct" I notice they get the hand in or arm in between the triangle relieving some pressure. If I control the wrist and hook the leg behind the neck deep it's a done deal. But I like these two as well. Always entertaining.

Someone pointed out that the position is Eddie's "Gangsta Lean" not "Monkey Mount". i believe in Eddie's version of that mount you grab over the shoulder with your left hand, rather than grabbing the neck. I've always found it more natural for me to grab the neck.

I came across those guys a few months ago.. definitely entertaining and goofy

I like the part at the end about posting this vid everywhere. And the finger snaps, that always cracks me up for some reason.

The finger snap started with Rorion way back in the original Rorion / Royce instructionals. You know the ones where Rorion would explain like one technique for 30 or 40 minutes while Royce who everybody thought was the greatest fighter in the world at that time, just sort of stood there and didn't say a word.

Gangsta Lean

exactly, monkey mount is something different.

the gangsta lean is the position that the instructor is in in the beginning of the video. the monkey mount is when you move from feet on the floor to putting your feet in on top of your opponants hips or lower abdomen. monkey mount gives you leverage for arm triangles, and then theres the impaler, which Neale loves to do to me knowing how much I hate it. lol

They're definitely two of my favourite instructors who post videos online. Especially Rener!
