Triangle Chokes and Triangle Choke Escapes

galorath — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:59:21 +0000

Triangle chokes are an MMA move, from BJJ. The goal is to make the opponent pass out. The opponent will pass out in about 5 seconds when this is properly executed.

When fighting on the streets many fighters attempt the triangle choke since they have seen in in MMA. So we learn both the triangle (so we can recognize it and perhaps use it) and the triangle escape so we can get out and back on our feet.

Triangle Choke the steps need work

Nice very summary triangle choke video here

We will remove all space so the choke is most effective

Put your legs on the opponent’s hips to keep him back (so he cant hit you)

From full guard (your legs around opponent’s neck or back

pull one of opponents arms down between your legs

pull other arm out.. lift.. it will be used as part of the choke

foot on one hip and turn to 3:00 .. same side as arm?

grab own shin.. to tighten

squeeze knees together executing the choke with your knees and his arm

pull head tighter

Lift his arm that is still on your chest (we are going to use his arm and sholder to choke him

Triangle Escape

This has got to be done early in the opponent’s execution of the triangle choke.. I saw an instructor who couldn’t get out of a small woman’s Triangle once it was fully executed. (The woman did also take yoga apparently)

“Stack” opponent (bring opponent’s knees to his nose and keep the pressure on)

bring your free arm across and grab oponnent’s neck

stand up using in direction of free sholder (one not holding neck)

Buck and Over (probably wrong name) Escape from Guard

galorath — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 04:49:24 +0000

Opponent on top on your hips

Move legs up like virgin guard (this causes opponent to lose balance and have to catch himself with his hands on ground

while hands on ground… grab back of head

grab arm

drop your leg on side you have arm

get foot on other side on ground and push up and over

slip jab to evade a jab

galorath — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:11:32 +0000

A slip jab is like the motion of a jab but instead of hitting use it to dodge the opponent’s jab.

keep hands at chin.. just turn shoulder. which moves the head out of the opponent’s jab. dont crouch down

then you should be in line to do a cross back.

pivots to move around Opponents

galorath — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 01:57:41 +0000

to move around opponent…

pivot on the right foot is a right pivot. bottom and hips go back… pivot out gets you some distance and puts you back in fighting position

Shrimping to get distance from opponent when on ground

galorath — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:21:53 +0000

Use shrimping to get distance from the opponent.

turn on one hip.. push body back with legs… needs detail

basic ground guards and defense

galorath — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 07:20:12 +0000

when going down do a break fall… roll and hit the ground with extended arms to stop the rolling motion.. keep head off ground.

Immediately: ALWAYS go into a trigger guard

Trigger Guard: thighs perpendicular to ground… Shins parallel to ground so we can kick. knees ??out a bit and bottoms of feet slanted toward each other. KEEP FEET ON HIPS ALWAYS START HERE after break fall.

VIRGIN GUARD… close legs tightly together.. move hips up so legs form a solid striaght line.. so they cant get close

KNEE ACROSS.. turn on hip.. get knee across opponent’s chest. put foot (feet?) on opponent’s side to control him. turn on hip and push off (like a shrimp) to gain distance.. then kick opponent in head or body.

knee across.. turn onto hip and move knee like a seat belt.. then kick and push them off.. may need to do this a few times to get sufficient distance to kick.

CLOSED GUARD: (assumes opponent is on top and is the aggressor) grab opponent’s shoulders and pull him to your chest while wrapping your legs around him. Now he cant do anything and will try to get away.. also you get a rest during that time while he struggles. Either when he actually starts to get away or when you are rested.. push him.. then depending on distance .. back to knee across.. do a few until you have sufficient distance to kick him off.. then technical lift (get up) or virgin guard…
