This week we are revisiting the Triangle Choke Game!
A lot of historic fights have been won and lost because of the Triangle Choke. In this video we share some HIGH-LEVEL details to make it work for you even when your opponent knows it’s coming!
From Wikipedia:
Tactically speaking, the triangle choke is a very effective counterattack employed from the bottom position, generally applied from the guard, or open guard (defensive positions). The triangle choke can also be applied in the mount, side mount and back mount positions by more advanced grappling practitioners. The need for isolation of one arm could be a rationale for the frequency with which it is attempted in mixed martial arts and combat sports due to the brief vulnerability of one arm while executing hand strikes against an opponent in one of the aforementioned positions.
