Triangle

A choke made with your legs. You trap their head and one arm inside a figure four, so their own shoulder presses one side of their neck and your thigh presses the other.

Step by step

1. 1

   Break the posture

   Pull their head down with your closed guard and grips so they can't stand up tall.

2. 2

   One arm in, one arm out

   Control a wrist and push that arm past your hip, so one arm ends up outside your legs while the other stays between them.

3. 3

   Shoot the leg high

   Throw the leg on the side of the arm you pushed out high over their shoulder, across the back of their neck.

4. 4

   Cut an angle

   Swivel your hips so your thigh lies along the side of their neck. Grab your own shin and pull it tight.

5. 5

   Lock the figure four

   Fold your other leg over your ankle so the shin sits in the crook of your knee.

6. 6

   Squeeze

   Pull their head down, pinch your knees together and lift your hips. Dragging the trapped arm across their body tightens it.
