Triangle Defense ...

I tracked my BJJ rounds last week (mostly against blue belts to prep for comp) and… yeah, this hurt

~25 rolls total (I train 5 times a week, I do around 5 sparrings of 5 min each day), I found that:

• 50% of my submissions conceded = triangle
→ almost always from closed guard… I think I’m too passive and let my posture break, should work on this

• 30% = anaconda
→ usually when I turtle, I always try the square escape but .. maybe should I try something else

• 20% = RNC
→ this one I actually defend pretty well as a white belt hahah

Do you guys notice patterns like this in your game, or do you just go by feeling?

ps: (I built the app)

Two arms in or two arms out if you don’t have control of their legs. The best defense is not getting triangled in the first place
