Triangles Enter The System

By John Danaher

View course on BJJ Fanatics

Triangles Enter The System develops the triangle beyond the familiar front configuration. John Danaher covers the transition from an initial trap to a figure-four triangle, then builds out front, opposite, rear, side and reverse variations.

The eight-volume syllabus includes entries from guard, passing, mount, turtle and standing exchanges, along with arm-lock and leg-lock connections. It suits grapplers looking for a broad triangle attack system across several positions.

Is this for you?

  • You want triangle attacks from top positions and scrambles as well as guard.

Also consider

Ryan Hall: The Modern Triangle — A triangle course with distinct treatment of frames, posture, pressure, specific defenses and scoring.

Coverage and limits

  • Trap-to-figure-four transitions, front-triangle mechanics and five triangle orientations.
  • Guard and top-position entries, sweeps, arm-lock connections and a transition to an inside heel hook.

Limits

  • The course spans eight volumes and multiple orientations; its scope goes well beyond a single closed-guard triangle.
