Hey Eli, as always, I've loved your videos for YEARS. I'm one of BMAC's students out here in 10P Decatur, and the PGF web developer/stats guy. I'm also the guy that brought you guys the pizza when you were last out here. I'm working on a project for a social media platform specifically for fighters, fans, and students. It's primary feature is developing courses that you can sell, but it has SOOOOO much more than that. I would love to shoot a shot and see if I can talk with you about this and pick your brain some. I believe that when you check it out, you'll agree that this can be far bigger than anything BJJFanatics or GoGoGrappling can do.
Why. Did. It. Take. Me. So. Long. To. Find. This?! I get multiple triangles EVERY comp I compete in, and I NEVER finish them. Some of the details outlined in this area groundbreaking. I suppose because they're details that fit within "bigger" details. I suppose it makes them easy to overlook. Either way, this video could single handedly make my triangles way more deadly. Thank you for this!
Do you have problems with the guy pulling his arm out of the triangle while you are adjusting? Obviously you need to keep your thigh pressure as you adjust but sometimes this happens as well.
And how to defend yourself, if someone gives us a knee on our neck, because if someone has a strong knee it can suffocate, I tried to twist and throw the knee out but it is not that easy for me and it requires a lot of strength what I should do
I always get my neck/choking leg pushed across from the same side hand/shoulder.. they just throw it over their head. Not even sure what I'm doing wrong
Can i ask BJJ practitioners a question? So i go to an MMA gym and im basically the token striker with a decade of experience showing up to get rolled by these dedicated BJJ grapplers and thats great. I like the challenge, that im learning new things etc. However ive asked them all ever so persistently to please spar stand up with me even just light or technique sparring and they seriously refuse to. Is it a bjj thing that they....i dont want to say scared. But, what could be the catalyst making them all so adamantly refuse to spar stand up with me when they are also martial artists who routinely get to just flatten me on the mat?
They are bjj guys they don’t want to do striking. Keep at it and get better at bjj. You will become a better martial artist than those who are one dimensional
@@hkmma6543 Not saying all purely dedicated bjj guys are this way because i know they aren't, but ive certainly noticed that there is a sub group within the dedicated bjj guys who only grapple because they are too soft for the striking realm. I do respect bjj especially after doing it for about 4 months now. Its just a different game.
@@hkmma6543 I think what i wasn't understanding was that i always made sure to specify the sparring would be "very light or technique" sparring and didnt realize that to someone who does not want to strike that it just doesn't matter.
