Beware of Getting Your Neck Broken with Triangle Chokes in BJJ

Beware of Getting Your Neck Broken with Triangle Chokes in BJJ

From Chewjitsu

October 16, 2026

Recently, there was a tragic situation at a Jiu-Jitsu competition where one guy had a triangle, and his opponent stood up, and as the guy posted on his neck, the top guy slammed on top of the neck, leaving the guy on bottom paralyzed.

In this video, I just wanted to talk about how we can keep ourselves safe and our partners/opponents safe while practicing this situation in BJJ.

This is a really sad and heart breaking situation. So, hopefully this can bring awareness to proper safety protocols on both ends of this situation.

Thanks for watching.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
