Careful with this one, you might love it.
Neil is one of my favorite bjjfanatics content producers, guy puts out unorthodox stuff that is incredibly fun and useful. This particular series gets used almost daily when I roll. Pick it up and put it to use!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Best arm triangle instructional out there
Neil delivers s thorough arm triangle instruction as a submission, position, transitional grip and set up for a whole of other subs. If you want to learn it or even if its already a primary attack in your game - do yourself a favor and study this instructional. Ps I learnt my best high percentage triangle setup from side control in this vid. Was worth forbthis setup alone.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻A Much Needed Instructional
This is a full deconstruction of a difficult technique along with several different paths to setting it up and adjustments for finishing it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fabulous instructions
Fabulous instructions! It help me a lot with useful and effective techniques Thanks for sharing amazing techniques and knowledge!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great details
This really helped my arm triangle game, going through the techniques in the classic Neil Melanson way.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻off with their head indeed!
I love this submission but wanted to learn how to apply it properly instead of cranking. This plus some Ryan Hall tutorials on arm triangles have greatly helped me make this my main attack as a white belt. The games and different ways of getting to an arm triangle has been really great. I love the kesa gatame option! Easy to understand technicalities and I still go back to the videos from time to time and discover things I didn't absorb before.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Love it
This is the 3rd instructional of Neil's I've purchased. Easy to understand, clear and concise. Camera angles are great. His techniques and tidbits have upped my ability to initiate and finish the move, and I love the other options he provides. His sense of humor is also hilarious.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Amazing!
Neil is incredible!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Easy and effective
Many training partners including me also have been quite uncertain when doing arm triangle. Has it been a neck crank or has it been strangle? Sometimes both or sometimes neither. Following Neil's instructions I quickly learned effective way to do the arm triangle and been also able to teach it to my training partners. Now I can do it quite easily with one hand. Strong recommendation for this!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Chokes on Chokes on Chokes
Neil really breaks down and understands choke mechanics. Getting a north south choke with long arms has always been a struggle but Neil shows different ways to get the choke that finally make the choke work, plus way more chokes, strangles and cranks
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great!
Great concepts on understanding how to properly secure the choke. I've already begun utilizing it! Highly recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great video
Great video
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Phenomenal.
Phenomenal.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻In Depth
Neil does a great job really breaking down the arm triangle. My ability to arm triangle has gotten dangerous since watching this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional
I’ve watched every video Neil has put out and I use the subs in this video the most.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent
Neil gives excellent points on finishing mechanics for the arm triangle. if you struggle finishing this technique, this ones for you!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻I swear I learn something new every time I buy his stuff!
I learn something new in the first 30 minutes of all of his videos!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻loved this one
there are some nice set ups and also a lot of useful tips for guard passing and some great control positions for mma. very useful stuff from Neil I was playing around with some techniques from the series and I really liked them.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome
Awesome
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻its the little things and the sneaky things
Neil has great content, and great little tips that make all the difference. This series both increased my finishing abilities with head and arm and taught me a bunch of cool little tricks to get them from different places in different ways. Well worth it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Lots of detail
This is a truly excellent instructional. Neil gives so much detail here to tighten up and improve your technique. It's always interesting to me to "think" I'm doing a technique correctly, and then have someone add in the details to make me see how much better it can be. That is one of Neil's talents, and he teaches it step by step in this one so you can really finish your opponent quickly. Highly recommend.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏼Instant improvement
My head and arm choke improved tremendously after just one watch, and there’s still so much more to take in
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Awesome instructional.
Awesome instructional. Neil is very detailed and entertaining. I have been able to consistently apply techniques from this instructional during rounds. Definitely buying other series by Neil.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Off With Their Head Arm Triangle Choke Mastery Neil Melanson
Neil Melanson delivers a great instructional. Arm triangles are one of my favorite techniques. This instructional helped me up my finishing potential by showing me the intregal parts I often miss when it comes to this position. Simple angles and positioning that I was missing were fixed in this instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Neil's instructionals are always great
I'm happy with every instructional I have of his. Good techniques, with good details. Definitely worth the price. It changed how I approach head and arm in a lot of ways.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻J.C. White Belt
Very methodical instruction! Everything was very well explained in a step-by-step process!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Love Neil's video!
Neil gives an entertaining plethora of submissions in his video. Shows combinations and followups with detail! His instruction is always top notch and brutal for his training partners
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻One of my new favorites!
Great Instruction! Neil gives such precise instructions and all of the little nuances that have made one of my favorite subs much more effective. One of my favorite instructional so far from BJJFanatics!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤗Off With Their Head
Neil Melanson is a Grappling Genius! Love this video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥🔥Stop reading reviews and buy it already :)
I really don't like to leave reviews but this instructional really deserved one. I learned the arm triangle over 10 years ago. I can get people into the position but I could never finish, and the rare times when I did finish it was a neck crank. I bought the instructional and within 30 minutes I discovered this missing detail that had been eluding me for 10 years. Melanson is a great instructor and he is really funny. So let's sum this up. Buy the instructional, have some fun watching it and fix your garbage arm triangle.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥Worth buying it with the original price, not to mention buying it on sale!
Haven't trained for nearly 2 years after becoming the purple belt because of the COVID pandamic. Neil is one of my "triangle" teachers. The video is very easy to understand.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Definitely worth having!
I’m a beginner in bjj and this video helped my game so much. Neil Melanson teaches and explains his techniques in a precise and easy to understand way. Arm Triangles are one of my favorite moves and this instruction seriously innovated and transformed how I perform this submission. I’m a huge fan of Neil Melanson and I’m definitely going to get more of this instructionals!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Yes
Brilliant. My favourite submission so i enjoyed it a lot
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent presentation
Starting with variations on how to actually finish a triangle and then moving steadily through various entries and scenarios. Can not praise Coach Neil's unique hybrid grappling enough praise.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Love it!
Awesome moves from a master with some comedy sprinkled in that will make you laugh!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic
Brilliant, lots of entries, lots of great details, very funny and wonderfully naughty in places. Take my money, I want more of his instructionals!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Entertaining and Detailed Arm Triangle Instructional for All Experience Levels
This is the second of Neil's instructionals that I've bought, and now that I've watched about 8 hours of material from him, it's tempting to go on a shopping spree and buy all of his other instructionals at one time! To me, this instructional seems like it's appropriate for a variety of skill levels and experience with the arm triangle. Whether you're someone who only knows what an arm triangle is and do not have much more than that, or you're someone who already successfully uses it in your game, I feel like you'll find value in this. It's great how Neil starts with his lesson for beginners on the choke and builds in a logical progression from there. I love the level of detail Neil provides during his explanations. He consistently tells you what he's doing and why he's doing it, whether it's the style of grip he's using, where he's putting pressure on his partner, how he's positioning his body, etc. Neil is an entertaining teacher, and throughout the instructional, I respect how he "hat tips" various students, fighters, and coaches he's worked with in the past. Be sure to watch each segment from beginning to end because he throws in miscellaneous grappling tips here and there, and you might miss them if you skip around or fast forward!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Amazing !
Amazing to learn from such high quality instructors. Having the ability to apply techniques on the mat, and troubleshoot through video is extremely beneficial.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤗Great details and setups
This was great. I am a former collegiate wrestler and I like how he blends the styles. I would pay an irresponsible amount of money for your combat jiujitsu DvD. All of his other DvDs are great as well. His DVDs have helped me integrate my wrestling and jiu jitsu which was a massive game changer.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great
A very good complement to pressure passing guys. Especially from the half guard in my opinion. This dvd is a MUST, great teaching from Neil and a great sense of humour as well. Thank you!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Finally Arm Triangle
When you Interested in Arm Triangle, you really need this DVD!! Arm triangle is my favorite Submission and since I got this DVD, my choke-skill changed a lot!!!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Off with their Heads!
As always, Coach Neil provides a very in depth instructional. Easy to follow concepts with application that you can use on the mat even after watching the 1st Video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great material as always!
Great series with some details I will definitely be adding to my game. Neil alludes to possibly making a combat juijitsu DVD in it, PLEASE DO THAT!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Off with there head
I'm already a lifetime 35% off member so don't need the discount but still loved the video and would say if I did not. Neil and Danaher are my favorite trainers, although very different in their approach. Danaher is the 6 course gourmet meal while... Like the Movie "What about Bob" "Meat and Potatoes" for arm Triangles. Right to the point, 30 minute ish Vids getting you right into the drills. Just enough theory, but more heavy with the arm triangle and how to get there from various situations. "Learn to teach, teach to learn" and after watching these I took my two kids through all the drills and they got it right away. Very satisfying training video, thanks again Neil.
