The reverse triangle from side control locks the triangle choke in reverse orientation — the attacker's legs wrap around the opponent's head and arm from the opposite direction compared to the standard triangle. [1] From side control, the attacker threads the near leg over the opponent's neck and under the far arm, then locks the reverse triangle by hooking the ankle behind the opposite knee from a top or perpendicular position. [1],[2] The reverse orientation means the compression angle comes from above rather than below, using the attacker's weight to press down into the triangle. [2] This variant catches opponents who are focused on defending standard side control attacks and don't anticipate the leg-based threat. [2],[3]
История и происхождение
The reverse triangle from side control became prominent in competition BJJ during the 2010s, as athletes explored unconventional submission pathways from dominant positions. [1] The technique's counter-intuitive leg entry from a top position made it an effective surprise weapon against experienced defenders. [2],[3]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Bilateral compression of the carotid arteries — restricts blood flow to the brain, causing unconsciousness within seconds
Joints Involved — Cervical spine (lateral flexion), glenohumeral joint of the trapped arm (if arm-in), nuchal region
Force Vector — Lateral squeeze creates inward pressure on both sides of the neck simultaneously
Choking Mechanism — Vascular strangle — occludes carotid arteries and jugular veins, distinct from airway (tracheal) chokes
Позиция и вход
From closed guard — Control one arm across the centreline, throw legs up to lock the triangle (one arm in, one arm out), angle hips and squeeze
From mount (mounted triangle) — Isolate one arm, slide the knee up and over the shoulder, lock the triangle from top position
From open guard (arm drag) — Drag one arm across, shoot the legs up to lock the figure-four leg configuration around head and arm
Варианты
Standard triangle — classic figure-four leg lock around the head and one arm from guard
Reverse triangle — legs locked from behind or inverted angle for different attack setups
Mounted triangle — applied from mount position with gravity assisting the squeeze
No-arm triangle — both arms excluded, legs-only compression on the neck

✓The reverse triangle locks the triangle choke with the legs facing the opposite direction of the standard triangle — the attacker's body faces the opponent's legs rather than their head, creating compression from an inverted angle (Danaher, Triangles: Enter the System, 2017)
✓The reverse triangle typically catches opponents during scrambles, guard passes, or when the attacker is inverted — the 'wrong-way' triangle surprises opponents who expected the standard angle
✓The mechanics are identical to the standard triangle — one leg across the neck, figure-four lock, one arm trapped — but the body orientation is reversed by 180 degrees
✓The reverse triangle is accessible from bottom side control: when the opponent passes, the bottom player can shoot the legs up and lock a triangle from underneath with the body facing toward the opponent's hips
✓This position is also called the 'inverted triangle' because the attacker is often partially inverted relative to the opponent — the unusual angle makes the defence pattern different from standard triangle escapes
✓The reverse triangle requires comfort with inverted positions: the attacker must be able to maintain the lock while their body is oriented in a non-standard direction
✓The reverse triangle often appears in competition when other techniques are transitioned: a failed armbar, omoplata, or guard recovery can lead to the reverse triangle position
Типичные ошибки
!Not understanding the orientation — the reverse triangle has the same triangle structure but the body faces the opposite way; confusing the orientation leads to locking the wrong leg
!Attempting to finish with the same mechanics as a standard triangle — the head pull and angle are different due to the reversed orientation; adapt the finishing details
!Not locking the figure-four properly in the reversed position — the ankle-behind-knee connection is the same, but the unfamiliar orientation can lead to crossing on the wrong leg
!Losing the position during the transition — the reverse triangle often emerges from scrambles; maintaining the lock during chaotic movement is challenging
!Not practising inverted positions — the reverse triangle requires comfort upside down; grapplers who avoid inverted drilling struggle with this technique
!Over-rotating and losing the opponent — the reversal of orientation can cause the opponent to slip out if the legs aren't tight
!Not adjusting the squeeze angle — the compression angle is different from standard; experiment with hip position and knee-squeeze direction to find the optimal angle

Заметки
The reverse triangle appears in 10 passages across 4 books. Applied with the legs configured in the opposite direction of the standard triangle — the locking leg goes over the back of the opponent's neck rather than the front. Used from back control and from top position. (4 books in corpus)
Часто задаваемые вопросы
What's the most common mistake people make when setting up a reverse triangle from the back?
Most people just get their hands stuck and try to pull the opponent's arm out without proper control. Instead, you should use your choke hand to work the opponent's hand off while maintaining control on the neck, then post on the mat and shove back before catching your own shin under their neck.
How do I finish the reverse triangle once I have it locked in?
Once you catch your own shin under the opponent's neck, fall to the side and close the triangle by eliminating the space between their carotid artery and your knee. You can then squeeze by closing your calf, or attack their arm with an armbar before transitioning back to the triangle.
Should I target the wrist or elbow when controlling the opponent's arm in a reverse triangle?
Catch the elbow, not the wrist, because the opponent can easily bend their arm at the wrist and create slack. Controlling the elbow gives you better options for an armbar or forces them back into the triangle finish.
What should I do if my opponent keeps their hands too close to their neck to prevent the choke?
If they position their head to one side to block the choke, you can insert your fist or use a calf squeeze along their neck instead. You can also transition to a shoulder lock by catching their elbow with a gable grip and falling to the side.
