This is some of the best written content on jiu-jitsu that I’ve come across. I really appreciate where your mind is going in these posts and the thoughtful approach. I look forward to seeing what’s next! Thank you!!!
Did you mean ashi garami instead of sankaku? Sankaku is triangle, so mounted and guard triangles. Maybe terminology changed lately, I'm only loosely connected to the jiujitsu scene.
Speaking of the triangle, recent Combat Jiu Jitsus have been dominated by triangle from guard. A long time ago, Eddie Bravo speculated that if we reintroduced strikes on the ground to jiujitsu all of the fundamental techniques from old school jiujitsu would come back, and he was right. When striking makes top of guard strong, triangles become strong again as a counter strategy.
Also, triangles are incredibly lindy! They're such a strong controlling position that even in youth judo where chokes are not allowed competitors often use an unlocked triangle as a turnover and pinning technique
Yeah I meant Inside sankaku as in the saddle position to attack heel hooks, but you’re absolutely right that it’s a bad example because sankaku also refers to triangles!
I should have just included ‘position-based leg locks’ there or something similar.
Agree triangle chokes are definitely very Lindy though. 🫡

Thanks a lot man! Comments like this mean the world!
Sometimes I worry I got a bit too deep with some of these posts, so genuinely really glad you found something useful.
Hope you have a great rest of your weekend. 🙏

I dropped a not on my youth judo comment. Choking is not allowed under adult intermediate in judo. Now edited
