How To Do An Armless Triangle From Guard #JiuJitsu #trianglechoke #friscotx

From Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu

September 18, 2026

What happens when you have a triangle from guard, but your opponent hides or pulls out the arm you normally need to finish?

Professor Matthew Jones of Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu demonstrates an armless triangle from guard and shows how to finish it in both gi and no-gi situations. In the gi version, he uses the collar to help control the position, clears the arm, locks the figure four, and applies the finish. In the no-gi version, he shows the importance of getting under the chin, removing the arm, adjusting the opponent’s head position, and tightening the lock.

It’s another option to have when your opponent thinks hiding their arm has stopped your triangle attack.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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