Arm Triangle from North South
Hey there, fellow BJJ enthusiasts! Join me as we dive into the intricacies of the Arm Triangle from North South position…
Перевод: Shoulder Hold / Head-and-Arm Choke — From North-South
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.
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.
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]
North-south to arm triangle transitions appear in advanced BJJ competition at black belt level. [1]

If space remains, “walk the legs” around the head a few inches or switch to side-control finish without releasing the lock.
Place your opponent's bicep on the far side and walk towards their legs—this hip movement creates the angle you need for the submission.
Do the work on the bicep and make it look like you're attacking the forearm; when they defend it, you can switch your attack angle.

Danger: 9/10 | Direct vascular choke; rapid finish when angle and shoulder depth are correct.
Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Achieve Controlling Position → Isolate the Neck → Set the Grip → Apply Pressure.
Стандартные контрприёмы: Tuck Chin — protect the neck by lowering the chin to prevent the choke from sinking / Two-on-One Grip Fight — use both hands to strip the choking grip before it locks / Turn Into — rotate toward the choking arm to relieve carotid pressure / Posture Up — straighten the spine and create distance to break the choking angle.
Распространённые варианты: North-south finish with walk-around head turn; Switch to side-control finish after locking; Hip-sprawl “lat shelf” finish for broad-shouldered opponents.
North-south to arm triangle transitions appear in advanced BJJ competition at black belt level.
Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Arriving too high over the head / Letting the defender’s elbow slip back across the chest / Squeezing with arms only instead of using shoulder and chest pressure / Failing to block the near/far hip, allowing a spin-out.
