Обзор
The side triangle from side control applies the triangle choke while maintaining the perpendicular side control position, with the legs wrapping around the opponent's head and arm from a lateral angle. [1] The attacker slides the near knee over the opponent's throat while controlling the far arm, then locks the figure-four leg configuration to establish the triangle from this side-mounted position. [1],[2] The side triangle provides top-position control throughout the submission attempt, meaning the attacker retains a dominant position even if the choke fails. [2] The lateral angle of compression can be equally effective as the standard front-facing triangle when properly tightened. [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 side triangle locks the triangle choke from a lateral position — typically from side control, the attacker threads the legs from the side to catch the opponent's head and arm in the triangle (Danaher, Triangles: Enter the System, 2017)
✓From top side control: the attacker steps over the opponent's head with one leg while the other leg hooks under the near arm — then locks the figure-four to create the triangle from the side
✓The side triangle is a top-position submission: unlike guard triangles, it is applied while maintaining top control — the attacker doesn't sacrifice position to attack
✓The lateral angle creates a unique compression vector: the thigh presses the carotid from the side while the opponent's trapped arm and shoulder press the other — the 'side' geometry is effective because the opponent cannot posture
✓The side triangle is often set up during transitions: as the attacker moves from mount to side control, or during a kimura attempt from side control, the legs can thread into triangle position
✓The finish: squeeze the knees together while maintaining lateral pressure — from the side, hip extension and lateral hip drive increase compression
✓The side triangle is a positional trap: once locked, the opponent is pinned on their side with their head and arm caught — escapes require addressing both the triangle and the pin simultaneously
Типичные ошибки
!Not stepping the leg fully over the head — the leg must clear the head completely to sit on the back of the neck; partial placement doesn't create sufficient compression
!Losing side control during the leg transition — maintain upper body control with the arms while the legs thread into position
!Not hooking the near arm — the side triangle requires the arm trapped inside; without the arm, the position is a headscissors
!Attempting from too far away — the legs must reach the head and arm; if the upper body isn't controlled close to the opponent, the legs can't make the connection
!Squeezing without proper leg positioning — ensure the figure-four is locked and the thigh is on the neck before applying force
!Not using the upper body to maintain the pin — the side triangle works best when chest-to-chest pressure accompanies the leg compression
!Treating the side triangle as a guard technique — it is a top-position attack; approaching it with guard-triangle timing and distance fails

Часто задаваемые вопросы
How do I transition from side control into a mounted triangle without jumping and losing position?
Keep your side control and isolate your opponent's arm first rather than jumping immediately into mount. Slide your knees in gradually while maintaining control of the tricep, then shimmy into high mount position—this controlled approach prevents you from ending up in a compromised situation.
What's the key to finishing the side triangle tightly?
Bring the opponent's arm across their face and create a pinch with your legs similar to a triangle from the bottom. Sit heavy on their chest with your buttocks, positioning yourself slightly to the side rather than directly on top so you can control them and prevent counterattacks if you fall.
Why should I position myself to the side when finishing the triangle rather than directly on top?
Positioning to the side prevents your opponent from being able to touch your face, punch you, or grab you while you're finishing the submission. This also gives you better control and allows you to switch grips and finish effectively even if your initial position fails.

Откуда происходит Side Triangle?
Side triangles from top position developed as BJJ practitioners sought to maintain positional dominance while attacking with leg-based strangulations. This approach aligned with the 'position before submission' philosophy central to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu strategy.
