Triangle from turtle position

Blue Belt · The Triangle System

Blue beltNo-Gi0:05Archive lesson

A triangle attacked straight off the turtle. The partner is turtled up on hands and knees, Deivid works from the top and side, rolls him over, and lands with the triangle already locked — the on-screen label in every frame is "TRIANGLE."

The breakdown — piece by piece

STEP 1 · 0:00–0:02

Control the turtle from the top and side

The partner is on hands and knees in a blue and black rashguard. Deivid is over his back from the side, one hand posted on the mat, the other reaching in around the partner's upper body.

STEP 2 · 0:02–0:03

Throw a leg over the back and roll him over

Deivid swings a leg over the partner's back and shoulder and falls and rolls with him, keeping hold of the leg with one hand as they go over together.

STEP 3 · 0:03–0:05

Land on the side with the triangle locked

They land on their sides with Deivid's legs figure-foured around the partner's neck and one arm. Deivid adjusts with both hands on the leg and his own body to tighten the triangle.
