31 Days of Christmas Submissions: Day 7

Triangle Variation: I use this a lot, especially when training with men. If you find yourself in the position where you are trying to finish an arm bar but can't for whatever reason, this is a great move.

Position 1: start from the arm bar, slide your right leg (leg closest to your opponents hips) through your opponents arms and Down to the floor. Make sure that the back of your ankle is flush to the persons neck.

 Position 2: Let your other leg relax and fall to the mat. Reach your left hand under your opponents neck to grab your own ankle.

Position 3: while still holding on to your ankle fall backwards onto your right side, pulling the person with you as you fall. Hook your free leg over your foot. Squeeze your knees together. Note: DO NOT let go of your ankle, holding onto the ankle is what is creating the choking 

effect!!!
