As part of my blog I will have a regular "Submission" feature where I will highlight some of my favourite submissions, with examples of them being pulled off in competition. Today's submission is the triangle.
Search the net and you will find many definitions of the submission, here is my favourite.
"Submission using the legs in the form of a triangle. A triangle choke (called Sankaku-Jime in Judo) is a type of figure-four chokehold which strangles the opponent by encircling the opponent's neck and one arm with the legs in a configuration similar to the shape of a triangle. The technique is a type of lateral vascular restraint that constricts the blood flow from the carotid arteries to the brain."
Well enough of the drivel, lets see the technique in action.
Below, GB Black Belt and highly decorated featherweight Jiu-Jitsu maestro Mario Reis shows us how the technique should be done. Pay close attention to the set up.
In the 2009 World BJJ cup Braulio Estima used the submission to choke out Marcelo Garcia, again pay close attention to the set up.
Finally, if you are still craving for an extra triangle fix, check out this Ryan Hall (aka Ry-angle") highlight
So there you have it the triangle, so good they named a vast area of ocean after it.
