Перевод: Shoulder Hold / Head-and-Arm Choke — From North-South
Дистанция и классификация
Обзор
A head-and-arm choke applied from the north-south position. The attacker traps one of the opponent’s arms across their neck, drops the near-side shoulder beside the head, and sprawls chest and hips to seal the carotids. The angle removes bridging power and makes late escapes difficult. Often entered when the defender turns in or as a finish after sliding off from mount or side control.
История и происхождение
Classic Judo kata gatame principle adapted to modern BJJ transitions, commonly chained after mount or side-control setups to maximize angle and remove bridging counters.

Эффективность
The north-south angle neutralises common hip-escape defences and increases compression through gravity-assisted chest pressure, making it effective against opponents who survive standard side-control finishes. [1]

The arm triangle from north-south was developed as an advanced BJJ transition, catching the arm during north-south transitions. [1]

Что говорят инструкторы
The arm triangle from north-south position is a head-and-arm choke executed from side control, where the attacker isolates the opponent's arm and creates a triangular compression around the neck using the arm, neck, and body. All three instructors agree on the fundamental mechanism: the attacker's neck and arm form a triangle that compresses the opponent's neck, requiring proper body positioning and hip control to finish effectively. WI Combat Sports emphasizes the critical importance of maintaining low hips throughout the transition, warning that lifting the hips allows the opponent to tuck their elbow and escape. The instructor details the progression from heavy cross-body positioning, sliding the knee under the trapped arm, reaching deep to grab one's own thigh, then using hip movement away from the opponent while keeping body weight compressed. Peter Mettler Martial Arts, though focusing on the mount position variation, provides complementary technical details applicable to north-south: maintaining 90-degree angles with the forearm and upper arm, keeping the elbow on the floor, and emphasizing compression over pulling force. Tarik BJJ specifically addresses north-south entry challenges, explaining how to use the legs and hip angle to create access to the opponent's elbow when it's initially tucked tight, and highlighting the importance of keeping ribs close to the opponent's head to prevent elbow escape. All three stress that the technique requires constant pressure and body positioning discipline rather than muscular force alone.

- WI Combat Sports — Jiu Jitsu Technique - Arm Triangle from North South: Detailed breakdown of hip-heavy positioning, knee slide mechanics, reaching deep for the grip, and the critical importance of maintaining low hips and body compression throughout to prevent elbow escape. Emphasized that lifting hips or leaning over the opponent allows them to tuck their arm and nullify the technique.
- Peter Mettler Martial Arts — Arm Triangle Choke from Mount - ArmTriangle Kata Gatame BJJ Grappling Judo Basics for MMA: Provided technical refinements on body angles, hand positioning, and finishing mechanics: maintaining 90-degree angles with forearms, keeping the elbow on the floor, minimizing chest-to-chest contact, and emphasizing compression of the neck rather than pulling or rotational force.
- Tarik BJJ — Arm Triangle from North South: Addressed specific north-south position challenges including how to use leg positioning and hip angles to create access when the opponent's elbow is initially tight, techniques for forcing elbow isolation, and maintaining rib-to-head connection to prevent escape during the finish.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What's the most common beginner mistake when finishing the arm triangle from north-south?
Pushing your shoulder into the opponent's jaw instead of positioning your forearm and upper arm at 90 degrees to their centerline. As Peter Mettler explains, shoulder pressure is uncomfortable but unlikely to force a tap, whereas proper 90-degree positioning creates real choking pressure.
How do I prevent my opponent from tucking their elbow and escaping?
Keep your hips glued to the mat and tight against their body throughout the technique. According to wicombatsports, if you lift your hips at any point, your opponent can tuck their arm underneath and escape the position.
Should I pull or push against the opponent's neck to finish the choke?
Push against the chin rather than pulling the neck, since opponents can resist neck rotation fairly well but have much less defense against chin pressure. Peter Mettler emphasizes that pulling creates unwanted rotation on the neck, making the choke much weaker.
What's the key detail when transitioning to the finish with the gable grip?
Bring your head down to the mat at the same time you secure the gable grip with your hands. wicombatsports notes that once your head is on the ground in this tight position, you're very close to finishing the move.
