Triangle And Shoulder Locks

Transitioning from the lasso to a triangle choke involves several key steps:

1. Start by bringing the opponent down and securing a deep grip on their collar.
2. Reach for the opponent's elbow, extend your leg, and move into the Omoplata position.
3. Instead of finishing the Omoplata, post your leg on the ground and hip escape to create space.
4. Bring your leg over the opponent's neck while keeping the collar grip tight, and start to apply the triangle choke.
5. To prevent the opponent from posturing up, squeeze your legs and bring them down, then control their head.
6. Adjust the triangle by placing your foot on their hip and walking on your shoulders to remove their chest from between your legs.
7. Bring your leg up and chop down to tighten the triangle, ensuring your foot stays flexed for a secure lock.
8. For the finish, squeeze your knees, pull the opponent's head down, and lift your hips.
9. If the opponent's arm is on the wrong side, extend your hips to reach their elbow, push it across, and drop your hips to secure the arm position.
10. For an additional submission, you can apply a shoulder lock by twisting the opponent's wrist towards their shoulder and moving your legs in the opposite direction while lifting your hips.

These steps allow for a tight triangle choke and provide options for transitioning to a shoulder lock if necessary.
