About this video

Escape from a tight triangle choke when the opponent has broken your posture and moved your arm across:
  1. Focus on getting the opponent's hip from underneath you as much as possible.
  2. Use your outside arm to reach under the opponent's hip, keeping it under your shoulder, and pull towards you to create space.
  3. With your inside arm, reach for the collar on the same side, thumb forward, and secure the grip.
  4. While pulling the opponent's hip with one arm, walk your body to the opposite side of the head they are controlling.
  5. Continue to pull the hip across while simultaneously walking to the side, which helps pop the triangle open.
  6. If your posture is broken and the opponent's hip is under your elbow, lean forward and use your inside arm to step on the opposite shoulder.
  7. With the outside arm, go under the opponent's hip, make a grip, and pull across as much as you can, getting off your knees and moving to the side.
  8. As you pull the pants on one side and the collar on the other, walk in the same direction to create the necessary leverage to escape.
  9. If caught in the triangle, you can release the hip and push on the leg to create space and escape.
