Over the past several years, grappling instructor Neil Melanson has become one of the sport’s most recognizable coaches and trainers thanks to his work with former UFC champion Randy Couture and his affiliation with the Xtreme Couture gym in Las Vegas. During his time at Xtreme Couture, Melanson not only worked directly with his students, but also worked hard to expand his influence and teaching with instructional books, the latest of which was recently published, focusing on one of grappling’s signature attacks, the triangle choke. “The book is titled Mastering Triangle Chokes and the publishing house is Victory Belt Publishing,” Melanson told MMAWeekly.com. “It was me, Marshal Carper, and Lance Freidmuth did the prep work on it. “The book circulates around the idea if your opponent is playing you, or if you use a certain system, how to put him in the right body position (for the attack).” Melanson decided to work on the book based on real world experience working with fighters.
