Nicknamed \u201cTobikan Judan\u201d which in Japanese loosely translates to \u201cThe Grandmaster of Flying Submissions\u201d, Shinya Aoki is a well-known figure in the martial arts world who is recognized for his technical grappling skill. He is a multiple-time grappling world champion, and is widely-considered one of the most talented grapplers in all of MMA.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Aoki\u2019s signature moves is the flying triangle. In this video, Aoki demonstrates how to properly execute the move. Of course, only try this if you know what you\u2019re doing. Do not try this at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

To close the distance and control your opponent, overhook his left arm and control his right wrist as you push it down. By pushing the wrist down, you\u2019re creating space for your triangle. Step your left foot forward to help you hook your right leg around your opponent\u2019s waist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then use your left foot to push off and jump into your triangle, with your left leg going around your opponent\u2019s neck. Just like executing a normal triangle, you should never forget to hold your opponent\u2019s head down as you jump and close your triangle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the momentum from executing the triangle, your opponent will most likely be forced to drop down on his knees. Fix your triangle at this point, and circle your arms and your leg and the space around your opponent\u2019s head. Squeeze your palms and your legs sidewards and downwards to add pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n
