GB Technique: Best Setups for the Triangle with Prof Tussa
This week in the GB1 Curriculum we are covering Guard Bottom and to many Jiu-Jitsu fighters they think of perhaps the signature move of bjj – the Triangle choke.

These 2 No-Gi triangle setups should be in every triangle fan’s arsenal.

Guard triangle from overhook
The overhook is one of the best control grips in No-Gi and MMA jiu-jitsu.

The tricky part of the move is trapping the opponent’s head and arm inside while stuffing their hand inside.

No-Gi back attacks – the Rear Triangle
This entry to the rear triangle has started to appear more often in the No-Gi competition in the last several years. While most of us probably think of our first video – triangle from the guard – when they think of the triangle, advanced triangle practitioners know that in any position that we can isolate the opponent’s head and arm together with our legs, there is a triangle attack available.
