Practical Guide
This video is a focused and practical guide for grapplers who want to become more confident dealing with the triangle choke.
Attacking Opportunities from bad positions
I appreciated the inclusion of counters and “sneaky” submissions. Rather than only defending, Joshua shows how to turn a bad position into an attacking opportunity. This approach builds confidence and encourages a more strategic mindset during live rolls.
Logical Content
The content flows logically: understanding the mechanics of the triangle → identifying common finishing adjustments → systematically dismantling the position → counterattacking. It’s easy to revisit specific sections without feeling lost.
Varity of curriculum
Joshua builds the curriculum from basic escapes to advanced ideas like ankle locks from inside the choke and unique positional transitions. This makes it accessible for both defensive beginners and more competitive practitioners
