Japanese legend Shinya Aoki is the former ONE Lightweight World Champion and one of the most highly-skilled Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners in the world. So when he shows you how to execute a submission, you better be listening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicknamed \u201cTobikan Judan\u201d which in Japanese loosely translates to \u201cThe Grandmaster of Flying Submissions\u201d, 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 submission. In this video, Aoki demonstrates how to properly execute a flying triangle. 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. <\/span><\/p>\n

Step your left foot forward to help you hook your right leg around your opponent\u2019s waist. Then use your left foot to push off and jump into your triangle. <\/span><\/p>\n

With your left leg going around your opponent\u2019s neck and just like executing a normal triangle, you should never forget to hold your opponent\u2019s head down as you jump and close your triangle. Because of the momentum from executing the triangle, your opponent will most likely be forced to drop down on his knees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fix your triangle and circle your arm behind your leg and the space around your opponent\u2019s head. Squeeze your palms and your legs sidewards and downwards to add pressure. This completes the submission.<\/span><\/p>\n
