About this video

Setting up a Flying Triangle when the opponent is disciplined in their stance:

  1. Attempt a fake takedown to elicit a reaction. If the opponent grabs your collar but remains in a low, disciplined stance, adjust your strategy.
  2. Instead of a direct Flying Triangle attempt, which can be risky and uncomfortable from a low posture, fake an Ankle Pick to create an opening.
  3. Feign a guard pull towards the Ankle Pick, reaching for the opponent's leg to prompt them to react and move away.
  4. As the opponent pulls their leg back, use their momentum to come up and jump into the Flying Triangle.
  5. Execute the move quickly, locking your legs and pulling the opponent's arm across to secure the triangle choke.
  6. It's crucial to time the jump with the opponent's body movement as they retreat from the Ankle Pick fake.
  7. Be creative in finding ways to get the necessary grips and reactions for the Flying Triangle, and continue to evolve your approach.
