John Danaher's emphasis is on good bio mechanics of effective submissions and holds. As he says, there is nothing more tragic than getting close to a good submission hold and then having it get away due to bad mechanics. Just think about all that hard work you put in leading up to the submission and then losing it because the mechanics just were not there. It's John's belief that almost all the problems associated with applying a strong triangle choke in competition and sparring can be overcome with a good understanding of its mechanics.

One of the hardest things John has to do as an instructor is convincing people that their bodies are capable of performing triangles. There is a widespread belief that triangles are limited to people with long legs, meaning people with short legs will not be able to do the technique correctly. But with good mechanics even short legged people can have a formidable triangle submission. Of course, body type plays a role in everything but with good mechanics you can effectively master any submission, especially the triangle.
