Triangle from Guard — Full Exchange (No-Gi)

White beltNo-Gi0:53Full lesson

A full no-gi triangle exchange from guard, taught end to end: Deivid (black rashguard, white pants, on his back) locks the triangle, keeps it when his partner postures up, resets, re-locks with the arm pulled across, and finishes the sequence by threatening the armbar inside the triangle before releasing and standing to camera.

The breakdown — piece by piece

STEP 1 · 0:00–0:02

Closed guard with wrist control

Deivid lies on his back with the partner kneeling in his closed guard. With no gi to hold, he controls the partner's wrists/arms with both hands.

STEP 2 · 0:02–0:05

Triangle entry: leg over the shoulder, grab the shin

He climbs one leg over the partner's shoulder and reaches up to grab his own shin with his hand, pulling the leg down into position while the other leg works up across the partner's back.

STEP 3 · 0:05–0:12

First lock and adjustments

The legs lock around the partner's neck with one arm inside. Deivid adjusts from underneath — gripping his shin, working the partner's arm, and keeping the lock while he explains.

STEP 4 · 0:12–0:19

Partner postures up with the lock on

The partner drives up and postures toward standing, lifting Deivid's hips off the mat while the triangle stays locked around his neck and arm. Deivid rides the lift holding the arm, then the partner comes back down and they release and separate at about 0:18–0:19.

STEP 5 · 0:19–0:26

Reset and the two-on-one arm across

They reset: partner back in the guard, hands on Deivid's torso. Deivid takes one of the partner's arms with both of his hands and pulls it across the center of the partner's body, and his legs start climbing again.

STEP 6 · 0:26–0:36

Re-lock with the arm across

The triangle re-locks, this time with the partner's arm already pulled across. Deivid grabs his own shin to set the lock, controls the partner's head with a hand, and holds the position while he points out details.

STEP 7 · 0:36–0:48

Partner postures again: armbar threat inside the triangle

The partner works up onto his knees and postures inside the lock. Deivid answers by wrapping both arms around the partner's trapped arm and clasping his hands on it — the armbar threat inside the still-locked triangle — and holds that double threat while the partner stays bent over him.

STEP 8 · 0:48–0:53

Release and stand

He lets everything go, the partner pulls clear, and Deivid sits up, gets to his feet, and finishes standing facing the camera with his fists up.
