About this video

Last resort escape from a Triangle choke when arms are crossed:
  1. Focus on the elbow of the arm that's across your body. Secure this arm with your inside arm to prevent it from blocking your next move.
  2. Posture up as much as possible, using the grip on the arm to help you come up.
  3. Step over the opponent's body with both legs, crossing them over their torso.
  4. Stretch your body back to create space and begin escaping the Triangle choke.
  5. If the opponent's body is angled in such a way that you can't reach across, secure the arm on the same side as your free hand to prevent them from blocking your leg.
  6. Posture up to your good side, sit, and turn your leg over their body.
  7. As you turn your leg over, use your arms to push the opponent away to prevent them from sitting up.
  8. Push forward to create distance, then cross your feet and extend your body back, laying down to fully escape the choke.
  9. Turn your leg out to finalize the escape.
