No Arm Triangle Choke
In this technique, we look at how to execute a no-arm triangle choke from a double underpass situation. This is a clever way to leverage the positioning of your opponent as they initiate a guard pass.
-
Initial Setup: As your opponent, Drew, gets both arms underneath your legs (double underhooks), start your defense early before he secures his grip to lift you. Control his hands to prevent him from completing his grip and setting his position.
-
Creating Space: Place one hand across his shoulder to maintain a distance. Use this control to scoot your hips back slightly, which adds weight to your legs and makes it difficult for him to lift you.
-
Leg Positioning: On the same side as the arm you’ve used to cross his shoulder, swing that leg over his back and neck. This move is crucial as it sets the foundation for the triangle choke.
-
Securing the Choke: After swinging your leg over, use your other hand to assist in pulling your leg in and securing a tight grip around his neck, similar to grabbing your own collar. Ensure that the leg is snugly locked in place by using your other leg to tighten the triangle.
-
Final Adjustments: Once your legs are properly positioned in a triangle around his neck, any attempt by your opponent to pass will inadvertently tighten the choke. Unlike a traditional triangle choke where the opponent might manipulate their position to escape, in this setup, both of his shoulders are blocked by your legs and arm, enhancing the choke’s effectiveness.
-
Execution: As Drew continues his pass, the setup ensures that he ends up choking himself, making this technique highly effective and hard to counter once fully set.
This no-arm triangle choke is an excellent defensive maneuver that turns a potentially vulnerable position into a strong offensive attack, using the opponent's motion and force against him.
