Vs. Double Unders

Executing a triangle choke from the double unders position involves a sneaky setup and precise hand placement. Begin by controlling your opponent's sleeves and dropping your hips to prevent them from securing a deep double under pass. If your opponent's head is positioned low, it sets up the opportunity for the triangle.

1. Position your hand on your opponent's arm, as if you're replacing their arm with your hand, and prepare to lock the triangle with the opposite leg.
2. Ensure your palm is on their neck on the side opposite to the leg you will use to lock the triangle. This creates the necessary pressure for the choke.
3. Keep your hand in place as if you're casually trying to pull their head down, until you can move your arm into the correct position on their neck.
4. Once your hand is in the right spot on their neck, swing your opposite leg over their shoulder to lock the triangle.
5. Apply the choke by pushing your hand against their neck and pulling their head into the choke with your other hand.
6. If the submission isn't immediate, adjust your hand to ensure it's not on their jaw or causing a neck crank. Proper placement is cupping directly on the neck.
7. With the triangle locked, pull their head down and squeeze your legs to finish the submission.

This technique is highly effective when executed correctly, and if there's resistance, it's likely due to improper hand placement. Adjust and ensure your hand is cupping the neck for the choke to work efficiently.
