The 5 MOST Powerful Triangles in Jiu Jitsu

[@SamJ-sh7eq]

I really like the comp footage reference. It adds credibility to the technique given there is so much rubbish out there. Please keep that up. Also would love to see more in detailed comp break downs from you. Keep up the great work. You’ve quickly become my favourite online resource.

[@CarlFrankBJJ]

Great timing. My student got triangled a lot last competitiona, so now we have some details on the setups to start working on the defense.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah my favorites are the collar sleeve and double sleeve set up they are so hard to stop.

[@HenkvanMierlo]

You're on a roll, so many great tutorials lately, thanks!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks a lot I have been having fun trying to evolve the style of video

[@dna8269]

Love the talking format, competition examples, and background of the moves along with the instruction. Thanks Jon!

[@joshroa9111]

Always the best content

[@vladlaptoiu9]

Oh boy! I can't wait to go for that side control triangle !! Thanks !!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah that side control set up is super strong.

[@Shaka_Garami]

Love ya work Jon!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks so much!

[@grigelkotten]

Love the deep Lasso set up. Hard to find good info on deep lasso.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah the deep lasso set ups are super fun, so many great combos from there.

[@zoetekauw9647]

Would love to see you do a video on counters to counters to the triangle.

[@wcbjj7780]

Great stuff! I need to start incorporating the double sleeve grip versions more. Thank you for sharing.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

The double sleeve triangle is so powerful because it’s so hard to feel coming it’s such a hard to predict submission.

[@fabiorod91]

i love your channel brotha, so many bjj goodies in each video

[@ki_team]

Always very happy to watch high-quality instruction videos! Thank you :)

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks so much really appreciate the support!

[@Slamminbassplayer]

Excellent content. Might need to watch a few more times… so fast.

[@nedastevic9064]

Super helpful. Thank you!

[@tobymaples7646]

Thank you for this. Do you happen to know of anyone who plays a lot of overhook closed guard? That has been my go-to for quite a while now, but i don't know anyone who plays it so I am figuring it out as I go. The little pointer about pummeling under the forearm to get to the bicep and then back to the wrist was an awesome tip for my game.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

I think Mario reis had a lot of matches using it, I think meregali maybe as well since he trained under Mario a lotv

[@dad2princesses896]

I love your content. Thank you so much.

[@jon0830]

top notch as always

[@temabal]

Thank you for sharing this amazing content! One of the best BJJ source on CZcams! Keep up the great work!

[@aeneas116116]

Great video- thank you

[@keithedson]

I love all of these setups and they are pretty much the only subs I hit!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

The triangle is so versatile and I feel it’s one of the highest percentage finishes once you get into it.

[@phatmista]

Really cool to see @JonThomasBJJ do a shout out to one of our professors Felipe Andrew 😀

[@MrPerutalo]

Thank you

[@fatsock1]

The side control triangle could easily be a stand alone video...that's so cool!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

I might do a full video on that as well.

[@JamezAdam]

Great video!

[@xyomga]

Beautiful

[@mkum2141]

Tommy is a collar sleeve beast 😎. Cheers for the content Jon

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah his collar sleeve is amazing! Learned so much training with him and espen

[@danzyyg3768]

You're content is really good! Can you do a tips video for us lanky guys to deal with big dudes?

[@kylethorne1053]

Thank you for this

[@JonThomasBJJ]

No problem happy to help

[@tomasz899]

I can't explain why but from all CZcams bjj related "how to..." videos Yours are the best for me🙂

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Well happy to hear it buddy means a lot and help keep me motivated to continue making videos.

[@Piroebassman44]

Hi Jon, love your stuff per usual! Can you make a video on aggressiveness and mind set when training? When do you go full aggro vs more laid back to work new techniques, etc? Do you have a balance you like? As a 3 day a week hobbyist trying to keep pace with folks that train more frequently, I catch myself being lax or sometimes feeling bad/guilty when I go 90-100% while rolling (especially lower belts). Your thoughts are appreciated!

[@ryangardner9783]

Amazing content as always. Thank you!

[@JonThomasBJJ]

No problem buddy happy to help

[@peterciampa5102]

[@LividVideo]

Awesome content as always! 🔥🔥🙏🙏

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks a lot! Doing my best to keep the content improving

[@orcmaniac]

Havent even watched it yet but triangle been my A game since blue belt all the way to black. Maybe ill even find some new ideas in your vid. Love your content keep it up !

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks a lot buddy! Triangle has been one of my favorites since I started and it still is, so versatile and so many ways to set it up.

[@PlugThePull]

Really nice vid format. I would love some content on how to pass SLX guard

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks a lot buddy I’ll definitely try to do an overview on it soon! There is so many variations it’s a great topic to do a deep dive on

[@antoinevonburg0404]

Beautiful ❤️

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks buddy

[@anonoumos]

this was great. can you make a "5 most powerful omoplatas" video :D

[@JonThomasBJJ]

I can definitely cover that as well!

[@teodycue]

Hi Jon, thank you for the video. Triangle is one of my favorite submissions :) At the end of the video, you asked if there are any topics your viewers would like you to discuss. May I suggest inverted triangles? I can never submit my opponents/partners with it... I usually just hold it until the time runs out.

[@James-yi1vk]

Thank you so much professor! The problem I have is getting the right angle when my opponent is bulky. I'd love to see a video on this about how to overcome it. I love the 🔺️ but it can be a pain in the butt to get on certain opponents.

[@Jiujitsudoesntwork]

Could you do some troubleshooting for finishing omoplata

[@cranebang712]

I Like It

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks buddy! I have been enjoying making these style of videos gonna keep trying to improve on it.

[@alexlloyd9201]

could you look into triangle entries from kesa getame or scarfold?

[@arashooo]

ah fuck here we goooo! Awesome stuff again! :D

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks buddy!!

[@rollinOnCode]

have you ever played with the side triangle?

[@andrewau2736]

I’ve been having trouble triangling bigger guys. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? Besides trying to go for the armbar from triangle.

[@LivingInMissionBC]

Do barata plata setups

[@JonThomasBJJ]

I need to work on it a bit more before I would do a video on it since I don’t do it much my self.

[@Knightlife07]

True true…I commented to a video I haven’t finished watchin.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks so much hope you like the rest! Appreciate the support!

[@enio_charles]

Wardzinks?

[@bitingmytongueoff]

Help! How do you avoid getting stacked attacking a triangle? Asking for myself 😁🤙

[@Hairy_Coo]

I love triangles, but I believe you should have a disclaimer that flying triangle is potentially dangerous, especially in competitions when everyone is way more tense. Lots of things could go wrong from bad fall to knee injury for your partner, so I'd reserve it for more experienced bjj practitioners and only after alot of practice. Don't be a rowdy white belt and try to pull flying triangles! You or your opponent can get hurt easily.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah people should definitely be careful, I used it as a white belt as well, so I don’t think it’s necessarily that dangerous, but of course me smart using it.

[@Hairy_Coo]

@@JonThomasBJJ well you seem like a very athletic type and you may have had better control over your nerves when you started. Lots of white belts I roll with are like bulls in china shop till they get closer to blue. IMHO this is not the move to yolo without good practice and control over your (and your opponents) body.
Love your other triangles setup tips though. My personal favorite is a same side grip with opposite shoulder control. It's fairly simple to setup and actually tricky to defend even when you see it coming because of a pressure you can put on setting it up.

[@FlameableMusic]

6:53 when I try this they often times grab my pant grip and start passing me from there (knee cut). Any tips on controlling their wrist to prevent that?

[@realAmpereD]

I can never push the arm across once I shoot they just hold on to gi or belt and tuck that damn thin in so hard lol
