We did Leg Triangles and escaped from leg triangles.
From closed guard on bottom:
- Push one arm and pull the other arm
- Get legs locked behind their head and on arm trapped inside and one out
- Pull the arm across their face/neck and pull head down
- holding ankle/leg with hand, scoot (keeping head off mat makes it easier) to the opposite side of the trapped arm
- 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:
- Look up and keep head up , square elbows on their hips
- Pull trapped arm outside
- Pass to side control
If you want, go inside with your hands and break the choke that way.
Escape number 2:
- Keep head up and square elbows
- Make space and bring knee and leg on side of trapped arm up to the elbow
- Turn and put knee on their side
- Break the triangle
Escape number 3 (emergency escape):
- Grab the knee on the opposite of trapped arm side with both hands
- Push down to floor on side
- 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
