Coach: Alli

Partners: Don, Charlie

We did Leg Triangles and escaped from leg triangles.

From closed guard on bottom:

  1. Push one arm and pull the other arm
  2. Get legs locked behind their head and on arm trapped inside and one out
  3. Pull the arm across their face/neck and pull head down
  4. holding ankle/leg with hand, scoot (keeping head off mat makes it easier) to the opposite side of the trapped arm
  5. Lock the foot with the other leg while pulling their head down and choke.

Next, bottom person will Triangle and the top person escapes

Escape number 1:

  1. Look up and keep head up , square elbows on their hips
  2. Pull trapped arm outside
  3. Pass to side control

If you want, go inside with your hands and break the choke that way.

Escape number 2:

  1. Keep head up and square elbows
  2. Make space and bring knee and leg on side of trapped arm up to the elbow
  3. Turn and put knee on their side
  4. Break the triangle

Escape number 3 (emergency escape):

  1. Grab the knee on the opposite of trapped arm side with both hands
  2. Push down to floor on side
  3. Push out of the leg triangle choke.

One thing I hit successfully: I applied a leg triangle.

One thing that failed: I went the wrong way when scooting for the leg triangle a few times until Allison corrected me.

One thing I will try next class: Leg Triangle during roll
