Very detailed breakdown of triangle itself. I'm not much of a triangle guy and this instrucional gives a lot of other options from the position.
This instructional has added another layer to my triangle game. Different from your basic triangles that you learn in the beginning of your Jiu-Jitsu.
Great.
great details
excellent
NEIL KILLING IT

Fantastic
Good stuff Neil
Melanson is the Triangle Master among big men.
Clear explanations & techniques which are effective. Great supplement to Neil's triangle book.
NM is always a fount of knowledge
Neil Melanson for me is always the great man to learn grappling from and he always will be.
Great instructional with excellent breakdowns and entries to triangle chokes. - I would love to see a Neil instructional dedicated to the snare, and grapevines and/or butterfly guard
Great Details by Melason as Always. Love His Style of teaching

Exactly what I needed. Now I feel like I can write a sentence rather than a word.
Amazing details on the Triangle. The Triangle is one of my favorite submissions and I've studied alot about Triangles but Neil has some stuff that you wont see anywhere else and his techniques truly are effective! A true Master of the Triangle thats for sure!
You'll love it .
I’ve got most of the stuff that he puts of and he never disappoints. This one is no different, full of really valuable stuff that I can’t wait to add to my game.

I love Neil's sense of humor and I haven't seen his techniques anywhere else. will continue to buy his instructionals

A cornicopia of triangle ideas
Neil is great . I have a bunch of his videos soon all of them. you won't regret buying this video . he wrote a book on triangle chokes . he really knows his stuff . definitely deserves more hat tips.
Alone the part of the bad triangles is worth the instructional. Highly recommend.
Love it
Great Instructional
I’m terrible at triangles and want to develop competency with them. As always, Melanson’s instructionals do not disappoint—breaking down concepts and tactics like no other.
really teaches the concept. Well! There are multiple ways to hit the submission that I wasn't even aware of prior to watching it.
Neil Melanson breaks everything down in a way that I understand. I really appreciate what he brings to the grappling community.
This one is one his best instructionals. Covers slot of details on finishing triangles with of lots of check points so you can recognize what to do when. I've hurt my ankles and broke both my pinky toes squeezing like **** when the guy just isn't tapping. if I saw this before, I would have made the right adjustments and finished easily.
Coach Neil Melanson did another outstanding instructinal! This one is about triangles form closed guard and K-guard set ups and some half guard set ups too. For myself the most important section was the break down of the ideal lock of the triangle as well as the uniion of the legs and amrs to finish non-traditional triangles - ones where you may see the shoulder and did not get certain angles. Another great value for me is the kumura series within this insturctional as well as the concept of always going for the triangle and the arm if availaible or can be get available. The instructions are underlined by overall concepts of the given positions and on point and in an logical order to make an easy understanding happen. Highly recommend!
I have always struggled with the triangle since I started. This instructional was a game changer. The best part was Neil's details on how to finish the submission and where to go if it starts to fail. Neil also has a ton to entries that are pretty easy and very effective if you drill them. As with a Neil's content I give it a 5 out of 5 stars.
Great package of triangle instructions. Thanks
This is amazing, I love Neil. Being a larger fellow 6'4 240 lbs. I feel as though his content is for us larger fellas. Neil wrote the book on Triangles and I would suggest picking it up as this is a great companion piece. It's worth your money, if your terrible, good and excellent at pulling off triangles. This will help to make you that much better.
Will help anyones triangle game. Neil never misses.
The best triangle instructional by far. No one teaches it so much in detail as Neil.
Great instructional, lots of great details.
Neil is one of the best instructors on this site and triangles are his specialty. I bought his book as well which has a lot of great info. I'm still bad at triangles, but I will keep going back to this as a great reference.
good alone, perfect with the matching book
Like everything coach Melanson does simple to follow and brutal
As always a great instructional from Neil, there is a TON of high level information on triangles. Everything from set ups, adjustments, finishes, plan B's, overall tactics etc
As someone with an extensive Judo background who has been cross-training BJJ, Neil's material has helped me tremendously. His finishing details alone, helped revolutionize my triangle attacks from guard. Additionally, his sections on Kimura options from triangles, and K guard triangle entries alone are worth the cost of the instructional. Though the instructional stands on it's own, it also works as an excellent complement to his book. Highly recommend!
