Executing a flying inverted triangle when the opponent shoots for a single leg:

  1. Start with the opponent shooting for a single leg. Anticipate their defense which may involve pushing your attacking leg to the inside.
  2. As they defend, secure an underhook with one hand to assist in bringing your body over theirs.
  3. Perform a jumping motion with the leg on the mat, bringing your body over the opponent's head to lock in the triangle.
  4. If the opponent brings you down to the mat, adjust by placing your hands on their hips and scooting your hips and knee towards the mat to lock the triangle.
  5. Open your knee to the mat to get a better angle for locking your legs.
  6. Squeeze your legs to finish the triangle submission.
  7. Practice the motion fluidly, ensuring you hop on the leg that's not caught to prevent being taken down.
  8. Use the underhook to jump and swing your other leg behind the opponent's head to secure the triangle.
  9. Even if the opponent keeps you up, you can still finish the submission from the standing position.
  10. Remember to adjust your position by scooting your knee towards the mat if necessary to lock the triangle and complete the submission.
