In the solidity of the mount, the 3 pillars of balance in jiujitsu

POST
Why does almost every team in jiujitsu history choose to use a triangle as its emblem? Have you ever stopped to think about that?

As the Gracie family realized some 100 years ago, the three-sided geometric shape symbolizes the equilibrium based on three supporting pillars, the safest way for you to execute your attacks without getting taken down by opponents.
