How To Do A Standing Arm Triangle #jiujitsu #armtriangle #friscotx

From Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu

The arm triangle isn’t just a submission you can attack on the ground. Professor Matthew Jones demonstrates how to set up a standing arm triangle using a duck under.

The setup starts by getting your opponent’s arm up and changing levels by bending your knees instead of folding forward at the back. From there, Professor Jones shows how to get the arm deep around the neck, secure a palm-to-palm grip, use head pressure, and pull and squeeze to finish the choke. If you need to tighten the position further, he also demonstrates switching to a rear naked choke-style grip.

It’s a simple way to turn a common standing movement into a submission opportunity.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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