How To Do The Arm Triangle From Guard #jiujitsu #armtriangle #friscotx

From Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu

The arm triangle can be set up from several positions in Jiu Jitsu, but Professor Matthew Jones demonstrates one of his favorite ways to attack it from guard.

When your opponent puts their forearm across your neck, you can use that pressure to create the opening. Professor Jones shows how to push the arm across, catch the neck deep with the crook of your elbow, control the trapped arm, and position your body for the finish. He also demonstrates two ways to finish the choke: with a palm-to-palm grip or a rear naked choke-style grip.

It’s a great example of turning your opponent’s pressure into an opportunity to 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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
