TRAPPED in a Body Triangle? Do THIS to Instantly Break It.

TRAPPED in a Body Triangle? Do THIS to Instantly Break It.

From Bernardo Faria BJJ Fanatics

March 31, 2026

Getting trapped in a body triangle used to mean a slow, exhausting submission. Not anymore. John Danaher student and No-Gi phenom Luke Griffith shows Bernardo Faria a zero-effort, highly mechanical Body Triangle Escape that literally breaks the lock in seconds.

If you are tired of getting your back taken by younger, more flexible grapplers and burning all your cardio trying to escape, this video is your cure. Luke reveals a concept we are calling the "Inside Wedge"—a leverage-based trick that uses your body weight to create unbearable tension on your opponent's lock, forcing them to open their legs or face the pain. No explosive bridging or wild scrambling required.

Bernardo Faria himself was mind-blown, stating he lost all his control in just 5 seconds. Watch how the pros neutralize the most dominant position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
