Triangle Choke

From Mixed Martial Arts Wiki

(Redirected from Triangle choke)

A Triangle Choke is a type of figure-four chokehold which strangles the opponent by encircling the opponent's neck and one arm with the legs in a configuration similar to the shape of a triangle. The hold is usually applied with the legs from a ground position. One leg encircles the neck and shoulder, with the knee next to the neck; the other leg crosses the ankle of the first leg, using the foot of the first leg to "lock" the second leg at the knee. The effectiveness of the technique can be increased by pulling the legs together and using the arms to pull the opponents head towards the attacker's shoulder.
