Can Your Legs Be Too Short For the Triangle Choke?

[Toddbarcey]

Stephan, I got news for you: You ARE my instructor. I've been learning from you on here for a while and demand you show me how to turn my lemon-y triangles into Omaplata-aid.

I have a 28 inch inseam, and I have a modified triangle that I use. It also works well with people who don't have the flexibility to get the traditional triangle.

As a guy with thick legs I almost gave up on the triangle. I struggled to lock it up but I've recently started having success by not worrying about whether it was fully locked, just focusing on getting that arm across, pulling the head down and creating that squeeze is very often all I need.

i got short musclar leg. i get so angry if i cant get that lock in, but remember push that hip for the ankle and lock it!

I have 27 inch inseam and thick legs from squats I have only gotten 2 triangles in 6+ years of bjj it sucks sometimes times

Thank you for this video. I have a short inseam and thick, muscular thighs, so my triangle never looks pretty. I have to lock my ankles, but it works. I also have to be an open guard player.

My girlfriend is too short for the triangle. Guess I gotta show her the omoplata. Thanks Stephan!

I have a 26 inseam and my quads are thick. Precisely why I gave jiujitsu up
