Transitional Triangle

Here's a breakdown of the Transitional Triangle technique from a bottom position:

1. If your partner comes up and elbow drops, it can be difficult to deal with. You can hit a back step, but if your partner is high on you, the underhook might pull you downwards. If you back step, you might end up on your back.
2. When this happens, take your hand, reach underneath and grab your partner's wrist. Your second hand comes in and locks right next to the first hand, forming two C grips. It's similar to setting up a rolling Kimura.
3. Bring your other leg in and throw your knee over the back, sliding the knee up. In one motion, while still holding the hand, throw your left leg over and catch with your hand.
4. Due to the angle, you won't have the same type of triangle as before. From here, roll over your left shoulder. As you roll, your foot comes on the hip, and you underhook your partner's leg. Go into your triangle and get your finish.
5. If your partner likes to come up with underhooks and gets really deep, and their hand is around your waist, you might feel like your back step will expose your back. In this case, don't hit the back step.
6. When your partner does this, immediately take your hand around the back and grab their wrist. Your second hand comes in and grabs the wrist. It doesn't matter if their head's in front of you, you're just looking to get your knee cut knee around their back.
7. Step in with your leg, as you do, slide your knee around, up just like this. In one motion, pass your leg over, and catch with your hand.
8. Because of the angle, you're kind of on the side of your partner, the triangle is kind of awkward to finish from out. So, roll over your shoulder, and as you do, your foot comes off the hip, and you end up with your partner's leg. Get your triangle finish.
