Triangle attack from closed guard
The triangle is one of the most important techniques of the guard game but it can definitely be used from other positions with great success. Here Keenan shares lots of details on how to set up and finish the triangle from the closed guard. The details he gives make the technique really safe and if followed step by step the finish is pretty secure.I have been using a similar technique going from full guard to self defense closed guard 1.5 and then moving on to the triangle and I have found these details really helpful. Thankfully Keenan made a video including all of them. Enjoy.
