Finishing the Triangle - Lessons learned from a lifetime in Japanese MMA with Enson Inoue

Finishing the triangle (or any submission for that matter) increases in difficulty in direct proportion to the ability of your opponent. Therefore, the higher the level of training you can access, the more effective you will be at completing any attacks you instigate whilst grappling. Japan is well regarded by many as one of the birth places for a multitude of Martial Arts disciplines. This has led to it's own unique journey within the evolution of modern day MMA. One such individual at the forefront of this has been the world renowned Enson Inoue.
