Executing the Triangle from the Collar Sleeve position:
- Begin with your training partner on their knees. Emphasize stretching your arms and lifting your hips to create tension and off-balance your opponent.
- Shoot your leg over their shoulder while bridging your hips up. If flexible, cross their arm over and lock a full triangle immediately. If not, cross your legs at the ankles first.
- For basic triangle finishing details, lift your hips, push their arm across your hip, and pull your hips back down while pulling them in with your legs.
- Grab your own shin, open your guard, step on their hip, pivot, pull your leg through, and lock the triangle fully.
- To finish, place both hands behind their head, pull down, squeeze your knees together, and lift your hips up.
- Ensure to keep your hips lifted while adjusting, either locking a full triangle or crossing your ankles.
- Stretch them out, lift your hips to the armpit, cross their arm over, take the foot off the bicep, and lock it down heavy over their back with a hamstring curl.
- Bridge your hips up, push their arm across, and use your second hand if necessary to hold their arm completely across while pulling them in with your legs.
- Grab the shin over their neck with the opposite hand, step on their hip, pivot underneath them, and extend your leg through, removing space between your hamstring and their neck.
- Bite your leg down in front of their shoulder, take your second leg over, lock the triangle, squeeze your knees together, pull their head down, and lift your hips up.
