This worked on the first try during sparring, on a training partner 35 kg heavier than me. It took me awhile to remember it, but I will never forget it now. Thanks, Firas!
taner raven if u cant try to setup and grab your leg and then u will notice room for you to move your arm out and put it on his neck. All get your arm out to the arm triangle position but only should be used as a last resort
I'm glad that you are sharing this great video with us! and it's good to see sage Northcutt learning from his failures and working on his weaknesses, thanks again, blessings.
Thanks a lot Firas. I tend to get practitioners who visit my site asking me for recommendations for MMA resources online and I'm always eager to recommend the Trista Gym channel.
Thank you for your videos, Firas! I train in a small team without higher belts and such insightful instructionals are a great resource to fill in the blanks in my fundamentals. In earlier clips you mentioned people not having a good understanding of basic things like sprawl and double leg takedown, is there any chance you will make a video about those?
Firas, What about when you are in half guard and there is no room for you to explode your hips or they are on the opposite side control of the choke a la sage northcutt vs. a la Bryan Barbarena? Thanks for responding to these Firas. You are a pioneer and always learning and teaching. I love it!
I train with a friend sometimes who is far better grappler than me, and he often arm triangles me. So far I've learned one escape I saw from Dean Lister which is being done after the fact the grip has been closed in on you already. But the guy is just too strong for me so I haven't had much luck with it. I think this might work though. I like these preemptive escapes. As Kurt Osiander would say, you f..ked a long time ago since you're in that position. Smart guy. :) Thnx for the videos!
This is amazing. I'm still a noob at BJJ, only been doing it for 3 years but I haven't seen this one before. It seems sneaky and explosive, just down my ally being a little guy. Easier said that done right? I look forward to practicing this one. Thanks Coach Firas 😊
Fantastic detail Coach Zahabi. This has made it so much easier to escape this choke. The arm detail was crucial as people have taken my back from this escape previously. I have a question. Braulio Estima (and others) have a variation of the kata gatame where they simply drop a hip from the mount rather than getting off in order to exert pressure. How would you counter this when the mounted hooks makes the runaway unfeasible?
Out of all these great techniques you know.. when training with high level guys do you know techniques your gonna do in your mind or do you roll off feel and reaction. Also do you recommend keeping a notebook when training to really memorize & study and perfect all these offense & defense & counter techniques because there's so many options from each position in grappling and in striking it seems difficult to keep track of all them. Thanks firas! I've learned a lot from this channel !
No need. Just pick your fav move. My fav moves : kata gatame, kesa gatame, hadaka jime, morote gari. Learn how to do it correctly and how to defend it properly, do it over and over again every day untill youre good at it and dont forget mount and side mount defense too. You cant be a black belt but you may be good at self defense. Dont try to fight anybody.
You weren't kidding when you said Gordan Ryan was an up and coming jiu jitsu practitioner, I was extremely impressed at his performance in EBI Also, keep up the great videos they are incredibly helpful.
+Tristar Gym awesome video , any chance on a video on Demetrious johnsons use of the Thai clinch, noticed him use it in a load of fights and remember a previous video of yours saying the clinch wasn't transferable to mma due to takedowns so assuming Johnson has modified it? Thanks
Hi Firas, can you comment on your opinion on Judo in MMA and also self-defense in street fights when two people are grabbing/mauling each other on the street.
Firas, sorry to be off topic, but can you please breakdown Demetrious Johnson's last fight? His last fight he controls a larger opponent in the clinch and actually finishes him. He is one of my favorite fighters of all time, yet there isn't enough analysis on his fight game.
Thanks so much for the video - quick question what is the title of the kimura one that you referenced to show what to do when opponent puts hand on mat?
2020: Highly likely that 2 ppl just watching YT videos and practicing w each other would be better grapplers in a couple of years than someone who just goes to a BJJ school a couple of days a week.... I've learned more by watching videos like this than in 6-12 months of classes ~ Good video. 👍 'd #Paxus Rating: ☆☆ ½
Thanks again! If I only had a private training facility the size of a living room... *turns around* 'Darling? Would you mind if I did some renovations this saturday?' :D
Great video! Im interested in coming to your gym for wrestling, i looked on your schedule and i see you have wrestling 3 times a week but it says its only for advanced wrestlers 2 times a week so beginners are left only with 1 class. Can beginners do the wrestling class in your gym 3 times a week ?
Be sure to grab his head like I demo in the video and he will not be able to transition to arm bar. Also when u get good at this move your escape will be to fast for him to try a follow up attack.
This worked on the first try during sparring, on a training partner 35 kg heavier than me. It took me awhile to remember it, but I will never forget it now. Thanks, Firas!
Awesome. Love to hear that!
This is one of the best instructionals I've seen from this position. Thank you!
I like how Sage Northcutt is casually watching in the background at 4:35
I've been exploring exactly this the last couple of months and here you come explaining all the details. Get out of my mind Firas!
Best tutorials on youtube by far thank you coach
Awesome the way u use the yellow marker.. so easy to understand and u cover so many follow up questions in 1 video. Thank U Sir😊
Now I shall never be caught by an arm triangle again, thanks.
Now that is the spirit!
+Tristar Gym
This works a treat . I have used this against people 50 pounds bigger than me
oh... nice, i was just going to ask if it works against bigger stronger people, cause i had trouble with that, i legit could not move him at all
taner raven if u cant try to setup and grab your leg and then u will notice room for you to move your arm out and put it on his neck. All get your arm out to the arm triangle position but only should be used as a last resort
NB 9 Awesome! Thank's for the tip bro :) but i missed the last bit.. All get... ?
You are a genius coach. Thank you for being generous with your hard earned knowledge.
I'm glad that you are sharing this great video with us! and it's good to see sage Northcutt learning from his failures and working on his weaknesses, thanks again, blessings.

Never saw this much of details in a video. Thx!
You're the best Coach!! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot for another great video with precise explanation of the details. I really enjoy watching your videos and drill it in the gym afterwards!
Awesome, thank you so much for another great video with amazing camera work and commentary. Much respect.
Thanks, man! I've been suffering those arm triangles from all kind of opponents. Thanks! That won't happen to me again.
Excellent details and presentation in these videos, Firas. Thank you for doing them.
Thanks Prof! Always clear and detailed

Thank you for another tried and true technique, awesome application for bjj gi as well (hope you find time to put more out)..
Osu!
Brilliant as always. I wish you were coaching in Bristol, UK. Cheers

Great video! Would recommend getting a shock mount for your microphone.

Awesome video again, thanks Firas. I think I saw AJ Agazarm do this to Jake Shields.
This escape is awesome. I am a white belt with 4 stripes. I will start using this. Thank you.
How many videos should you watch until you are around black belt level?
+Johnny Threefour 7500ish
Ok fine, 7600ish
Lmao
Infinite videos. Because you will never get black belt just by watching videos 😂

I've watch this some years ago, and I remember this immediately when jiri prochazka did it against glover
This is gold!!.. Great videos Firas, keep them coming!!
Thanks coach, fantastic as always.
I needed this so much! Thanks Firas
inovation of the kata gatame . Beautiful ! I really enjoy watching ur vid.
Superbly explained… Thank you for taking the time to make this video. 🥷 💥🙏🏼
This is awesome. I've never seen this escape before. Thank you for the great videos
+Thomas Ericsson ; )
You weren't kidding when you said Gordan Ryan was an up and coming jiu jitsu practitioner, I was extremely impressed at his performance in EBI
Also, keep up the great videos they are incredibly helpful.
Yes he's a beast. Also very young. I'm sure we will be seeing a lot more of him. Glad you are liking this channel thanks for liking and sharing!
@@CoachZahabiwow this aged well
haha thank you sensei !! you have an incredible knowledge thank you !! I'm learning from you and my class.God bless you !
great stuff! been practicing alot of your techniques and its been making a difference in my game
+Danny Gutierrez awesome to hear!
+Tristar Gym awesome video , any chance on a video on Demetrious johnsons use of the Thai clinch, noticed him use it in a load of fights and remember a previous video of yours saying the clinch wasn't transferable to mma due to takedowns so assuming Johnson has modified it? Thanks
Nice escape -- going to come in handy! Can I ask what video editing software you're using? Hate to be 'that guy', but yeah....
bruh arm triangles are probably the submission i get caught with the most since i'm a beginner, definitely gonna use this...
wow, what an amazing escape! you up my bjj game with these videos instantly. thank you so much!
Excellent. Just remember you need to hit this escape before you get pinned.
Can't he get your back or catch u when rolling
Really Good stuff coach thank you 🙏
Looks interesting. Have you had success with this when you are in major size / strength disadvantage?
+Albertto Marionette the same move apply you just have to be more precise with you're timing
Hi Firas, can you comment on your opinion on Judo in MMA and also self-defense in street fights when two people are grabbing/mauling each other on the street.

Nice to see some of your fighters like Aubin; and Sage (since that was one of the moves that got him last time)
Thank you so much Firas.. I keep getting armtriangled :,(
At least I add some technical defence to it :)
Great explanation
Great video and escape. Just wondering, how did you get your BB from Danaher? Did you live in NYC?
NY is close to Montreal. We drive or fly down for training. Also I have done many training with John both in Montreal and NY
Thanks Firas. Your channel is gold.
Super sick move! Mucho appreciado!
Couldn’t hear the sound, will try again later but looks like a hitchhiker escape in a way - very cool 😎
Make an instructional already Firas,I would be the first to buy it!
Thanks again! If I only had a private training facility the size of a living room... *turns around* 'Darling? Would you mind if I did some renovations this saturday?' :D

Our bjj class includes wrestling. So come in Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm
Great technique thanks
Thanks, coach!
Coach but what if he traps your arm while expanding and rolling?
Can he work his way into an armbar?
Thanks for sharing! OSS !
Awesome, awesome drill!
could you please do videos on cage-work? thanks
Sage Northcutt in the background? I thought he said he was headed up to tri star to train, didn't expect to see him in the videos.
Jesus has given you amazing skills in teaching as well as great knowledge in technique great vid
stellar! Also, looks really fun to drill, too.
I used this escape for few years now but you leave your back for taking. so it's a constant battle to defend from RNC or arm triangles.
Can this escape work when my opponent sets up the arm triangle from the mount?
Love it tried it was able to get it watched again hit it again on 2 big guys
great vid!
Ok firstly I like it but what if the guy doesn't jump off you and still has it weight over your body?
Nice idea
How about that escape by Michael mcdonald against kanehara at ufc 195. He moved the other way and got his back.
Coach, but what if he traps your arm while expanding and rolling? Can he work his way into an armbar?

+Tristar Gym
thanks Coach! When and where is your next seminar???
What if the hands are locked? it works ?
I actually found it easier to turn into the opponent and then use the under hook to throw then up as you scout down so you can take the back.
Fantastic
this is worth at least 5 dollars. i owe you, if ever i meet you.
That is an explosive baby bridge- see how beautiful that looks 2:20
i tried this on a guy today while he was standing it was a perfect triangle choke but can you tell me a escape while i am standing
Shane Carwin should have watched this video
outstanding!
Is it possible to attempt a guillotine choke when your left arm goes around your opponent's head?
+nick lobo Yes its possible but I find taking the back to be a lot easier.
Thanks for your insight!
What if they lock up the choke when mounted before they jump off to the side to finish?
+Paul Nguyen There should be some space while they're in mount. They must go to the side to get their hips low enough to finish the choke.
+Dallas Van Winkle brilliant! Thank you for sharing your knowledge jiu jitsu brethren
What if the hands are locked?
Awesome !
One of the counters I need
I tried this technique but just got followed as I started my run hip off the ground motion
How to counter the counter?
Nice
Nice.
This escape, the ghost escape, the hitchhiker escape, they're all the same move
Actually bc I got ghost but the hitchhiker I'm bad at
@dirtygeazer9266 its the same body movement, just from different possitions
simple and elegant bjj
