Triangles from everywhere

Blue beltNo-Gi0:07Archive lesson

Deivid's caption says "Triangles from everywhere" and that triangles are "by far my favorite submission." The clip itself shows one specific entry: a reverse triangle choke in no-gi, labelled "REVERSE TRIANGLE CHOKE" on screen in every frame.

The breakdown — piece by piece

STEP 1 · 0:00–0:02

Pressure from the top, head and arm isolated

Deivid is on top in a black rashguard, chest driving into the partner who is on his side and back underneath him, with the partner's head and one arm exposed in front of Deivid's legs.

STEP 2 · 0:02–0:05

Throw the leg over and sit into the reverse triangle

Deivid steps a leg over the partner's head and arm and sits and rolls toward his own back, pulling the partner with him so the legs come around the neck from the reverse side.

STEP 3 · 0:05–0:07

Lock the figure-four and squeeze

On the mat he locks his legs in a figure-four around the partner's neck and arm, hugs his own leg in with both arms, and squeezes to finish.
