⚖️ Veredicto
Learn the guillotine first — it works from standing and can be set up quickly. Add the triangle from guard for a devastating combination. Together, any opponent who ducks their head or extends an arm is in danger.
❓ Perguntas Frequentes
Is the triangle choke or guillotine more effective?
Both are proven at the highest levels. The guillotine is generally easier to set up from standing positions, while the triangle has a higher finish rate from guard in competition.
Can you combo triangle and guillotine?
Yes — a failed guillotine (when opponent tucks chin) often creates perfect hip angle for a triangle. This chain is used extensively by elite guard players.
