oeHow does a Triangle choke work?”

By: Cambry Center lap 6

oeHow does a Triangle choke work?”

Have you ever tried to watch a UFC event at someone’s house, and wondered why the fight was suddenly stopped? All you saw was two guys on the ground, one guy stuck between the other guy’s legs and suddenly they stop the fight. We’ll try to clear a little bit of that up for you here.

It’s possible that what you just saw is called a oetriangle.” A triangle is (usually) performed when a fighter has another fighter between his legs (called guard), and on top of him. What happens next is probably the most important part of the choke. The fighter on bottom sneaks one of his legs up (either one will work), and gets it above his opponents arm and is able to sit the back of his knee against his opponents neck.

Before I go any further I’ll explain why it’s so important for the fighter to be able to get his leg up like that. Basically what happens is that fighter will then lay the leg that he has up across the back of his opponent’s neck. The back of his knee is then like a vice, cinching down on one side of the neck, effectively cutting off a carotid artery on that side.

So now that the fighter on bottom has one of his opponent’s arteries’ cut off, he needs to get the other. At this point he takes his other leg and puts it over the foot of the leg going across the neck, placing said foot into the back of his other knee. Keep in mind that the arm is still trapped on this side; he did not need to get past the arm on this one (I’ll explain why in a moment.) He can now cinch that side down and effectively start squeezing his knees together creating a space that is shaped like none other than a triangle between his legs.

Let’s stop for a moment, and I’ll explain why the fighter left the second arm where it was, and decided not to pass it. The neck itself is not that wide of an object (unless you’re Brock Lesnar). The triangle that is being made with the fighter’s legs, while not very big, is larger than the size of a neck. So to be performed effectively we need something else in the triangle with the neck to tighten down against it. This is where the arm comes into play. The arm is cinched down against the neck, effectively cutting off the other carotid artery.

Now that we know why the arm is still in there, let’s figure out where it needs to be placed to be most effective. The arm that is inside the triangle will need to be laid across the body so that the person on top almost looks like they are choking themselves. What this does is allow the person on bottom to squeeze even tighter, and creates less space between the shoulder and the carotid artery.

Now that the triangle is locked in there are a few methods to make it even tighter. A personal favorite of mine is to put both hands on the back of my opponent’s head and pull it toward my chest. This now puts pressure on the front of his neck, while my legs are cutting off the sides. Another method is to turn your hips and upper body towards the leg that is over your opponent’s arm. This makes your oetriangle” (the space between your legs) smaller, thus making the choke tighter.

If all of this confuses you even more, or if you would just like some more info on the triangle choke, and many more moves, along with videos, come check out www.getsnooky.com. I’m sure you’ll find many things to help you learn about the world of mixed martial arts.

Good luck, and thank you for reading!
