Triangle Choke From Side Control - Jiu Jitsu Submission

Triangle chokes are most often taught from the guard, but they can also be an effective submission from side control.

How To Stop a Punch From Closed Guard

Getting punched while someone is inside your closed guard can be one of the most dangerous situations in a real fight. In this video, Professor Matthew Jones demonstrates an effective way to defend against a powerful punch by using an arm drag, creating an angle, and trapping the opponent’s punching arm with your feet to establish dominant control.

Once the arm is immobilized, your opponent has very limited offensive options, allowing you to control the position and smoothly transition to taking the back. This technique highlights how proper leverage, timing, and positioning can neutralize strikes without relying on strength.

Whether you’re training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense, MMA, or to improve your grappling skills, this is a valuable technique to add to your game.

Stuck in Side Control? Here are 3 Easy Escapes That Work!

Escaping side control is one of the biggest challenges in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but escaping doesn’t have to rely on just one technique. In this video, Professor Matthew Jones demonstrates a simple three-step side control escape system that adapts to your opponent’s reactions.

You’ll learn how to take the back when the underhook becomes available, recover closed guard if the back take isn’t there, and use your opponent’s forward pressure and timing to reverse the position when they follow your movement. Instead of forcing one escape, you’ll understand how to transition from one option to the next based on what your opponent gives you.

Whether you’re a white belt trying to survive side control or an experienced grappler looking to sharpen your fundamentals, these high-percentage escapes will help you become more difficult to hold down and more confident on the mats.
