 Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:03 pm Post subject: Triangle from Mount |
 |
|
This week, our focus was on transitioning to, and attacking from, mount. There's lots of great attacks from mount and in our recap video we look at one of the more fun ones we did during the week- the Triangle Choke from Mount position.
It's a great example of learning one attack (the triangle) and applying it across several positions (guard v. mount.)
Here it is:

So, who uses the mounted triangle? Pros and cons? How about other attacks that are typically associated with one position that you use from another? Is there a stand up correlation?

Another outstanding tutorial, Alex!! Thank you for sharing it.

We use the mounted triangle!! To us, it's another choke, and chokes are our bread and butter, so to speak.
If done without ambiguity, there are NO cons, only pros!! It's fast in its application(s), and any attempt to thwart it, can only be meet with other tactics that will allow the mounted triangle to succeed.
If there were any cons, it's not in the technique but only in the practitioner; this technique has too many transitional variants that can't be deflected; trying to defend oneself against the mounted triangle is, imho, more short lived than the one applying it. Possibly, I'll express some cons later on, but not now!! We can discuss pros and cons until the cows fly, but, like Bunkai, they're subjective to the practitioner; we might or might not agree on the pro or the con discussed.

If I'm understanding your question, I can, after locking in the triangle, I can roll to my right, putting me on my back, and then, I can still execute the triangle choke.
If I'm still on top, and my opponent has more fight in trying to end my attempt at the triangle, I can grab my opponents right hand, and thusly, if only for a moment, and all I need is that moment, I manipulate a over wrist hold with my left hand, and as the fight is slowed, I can now put my right foot over my opponents left arm/bicep, and then continue to the end.

First thing comes to my mind, is the Rear Naked Stand Up Choke executed from behind my opponent while I'm standing behind him/her. The one arm choke allows me to control one arm behind the back while choking with the free hand.
