Frequently Asked Questions
Should I squeeze my knees together in the stomp and curl triangle, or is there a better approach?
Ryan Hall emphasizes that squeezing your knees relies on weak adductor muscles, which is how the technique was traditionally taught incorrectly. Instead, press your top leg into the side of the opponent's neck while curling with your bottom leg—using larger, stronger muscles like your quads and hip flexors for a more sustainable finish.
How much pressure should I apply when finishing the stomp and curl?
Ryan Hall stresses that you should use gentle, constant pressure rather than squeezing hard, since you're in a dominant position. This approach will put your opponent to sleep without burning out your legs or risking losing the position.
What should I do with my free hand during the stomp and curl finish?
Your free hand can come around and grab—typically on top of your shin—but the specific hand placement is flexible and should be whatever feels most comfortable to you at the time.
Why does the stomp and curl prevent my opponent from escaping?
Once you're positioned with the stomp and curl, your opponent lacks the ability to stand up or use their hips to lift you because you're no longer in front of them, and your weight becomes extremely difficult to move.
