ARM TRIANGLE
Our next submission is going to be from the guard, where our opponent is bugging the neck. There are two variations of it. The anaconda, arm triangle, it has got a lot of names, but it has got some interesting setups.
So we are in our guard, and our opponent is putting weight down on our neck, bugging the neck. This is really distracting and it really inhibits your ability to move. If my head is turned this way, I can't shrimp out this way. I can still shrimp this way, but it really inhibits my motion.
So what I want to do is I want to use my legs to push away, and then I want to move his arm. Once his arm is moved over, I want to pull him back up with my legs and catch here. I am literally going to do the exact same thing with my arms, that my legs would normally be doing, but I am going to do it just the same way here.
So our opponent is putting pressure now. We use our legs to back him up, move the arm and pull back in, really tight. I can hear my biceps goes all the way up to side of his neck. I am going to turn it back from here. I am going all the way over, from here. I grab the biceps, I squeeze my legs away, and I tighten down, and get the arm triangle.
From the other side, he is putting pressure down. I move him away, shift the arm, pull him back up. The arm goes across, the arm comes down here, and I squeeze my legs.
If you have a guy who is playing underneath your arms, you can get this without the arm in there, its called anaconda. It's basically just arm triangle, but without the arm.
This one requires a little bit more pressure, and some guys won't tap to it, but it gives you a tremendous leverage point on his neck. When you are here, when you squeeze down, and I like to kind of do like I am doing a crunch or a sit-up, I like to shift away and lift up. You will really put a lot of strain on his neck there.
A lot of times if he is not doing anything else, just like we talked about with the gift wrap sit-up, you can start with the anaconda or with the knuckle choke, and you will get his arms to move. So if you are not doing anything else, at least you can apply some pressure, you could put him in a little bit of pain, you can cause some movement.
From another angle. Our opponent is putting pressure down. We shift down with the leg and move his arm, and then pull back up. When we pull back up, we are reaching all the way over, all the way around to the arm triangle.
The other arm. He is bugging the neck, push down, shift, arm triangle.
The other side. He is bugging the neck. I push down, create space. Other arm, push away, pull it in. It's a really tight choke, that's the Arm Triangle.
