Initial Head Control and Arm Pressure
Begin by controlling your opponent's head while applying pressure through the shoulder and chest onto their triceps. Push the triceps to the side while maintaining firm contact, then position your leg close to their head. This establishes the foundation for transitioning into the S-mount position.
Responding to the Underhook Defense
When the opponent underhooks your leg during the arm bar attempt, you have two primary responses: capitalize on the underhook, or exploit a tight elbow position. In either case, adjust your knee and prepare to hop over their arm to access the triangle setup.
Leg Repositioning and Calf Placement
After hopping over your opponent's arm, scoop your calf underneath their neck and bring your foot close to your knee. Maintain steady head control by pulsing your grip on the mat on the appropriate side, preventing your opponent from using a bridge escape.
Knee Placement and Grip Transition
Place your knee on the floor beneath your opponent's head, then transition your grip to control their shin. Adjust your body alignment so your line is perpendicular to the mat, creating maximum leverage for the triangle lock.
Figure Four Lock and Finish Options
Lift your foot off the mat to complete the figure four lock configuration. From this position, you can finish with a triangle choke by pulling your opponent's head upward, or transition to an armbar by pulling their head toward your chest.
Alternative Entry: Over-the-Arm Variation
When your opponent keeps their elbow tight and close, go over their arm instead of underneath. Secure your shin grip with your hand on the floor while scooping your calf under their neck, then lift to trap the leg in the figure four position.
Multiple Finish Options from Figure Four
Once you establish the figure four lock, you have multiple finishing techniques available. Pull the opponent's hand toward your chest, pull their head to force a tap, or transition into a wrist lock by bending their hand and applying pressure.
Head Position Prevention and Forearm Placement
Ensure your forearm is positioned directly under your opponent's neck to prevent them from resting their head on the floor. Improper neck placement eliminates the triangle finish, so maintain pressure and correct positioning throughout the technique.
Practice Protocol
Drill the triangle from mount six to ten times on each side to develop proficiency. Consistent repetition on both sides builds muscle memory and ensures you can execute the technique fluidly against different defensive responses.
