Перевод: Shoulder Hold / Arm-and-Head Lock — From Half Guard – No-Gi
A no-gi variation of the arm triangle choke applied from half guard. The attacker threads their arm under the opponent’s head and traps the far arm, then uses shoulder pressure, chest connection, and hip angling to tighten the choke. The bottom half guard leg is used both to control distance and to maintain leverage until the choke is locked or the guard is transitioned.
Developed as a natural adaptation of closed guard arm triangle setups, especially in no-gi grappling. Became popular in half guard as athletes combined defensive framing with offensive choke setups.
Effective from half guard when chest pressure and leg entanglement are maintained; the half guard position provides less finishing stability than side control, requiring precise hip positioning. [1]
The arm triangle from half guard in no-gi was developed as a way to finish from a passing position without completing the pass. [1]
Half guard arm triangles are used in no-gi competition, particularly when the passer traps the bottom player's arm during passing sequences. [1]

Can be chained from underhook battles or failed sweeps. Common when opponent drives head low into bottom half guard. Often transitions into mount finish.
Apply pressure down into your partner's frame to get them to return that pressure, then pop your arm through. Once the arm is through, grip their lat or armpit with the hand that's under their head.
Drop your shoulder down to their chest, which places your bicep on their neck. Come up to a tripod position, slice your opposite knee through, squeeze your arm, and turn to look at them to complete the choke.
If they put their hand over their ear to create space between their shoulder and neck, focus on driving into their shoulder rather than just their neck to maintain pressure and prevent them from escaping the choke.
