The Kata-Gatame Arm Triangle Variation adapts the traditional arm triangle for MMA, incorporating strikes to set up the choke and maintaining top pressure throughout. [1]
Double Attack to Kata-Gatame transitions from the double attack mount position directly into a kata-gatame arm triangle, using the dual threat to force the opponent's arm across their neck. [1]
The Hybrid RNC Kata Gatame is a crossover submission that combines elements of the rear naked choke (applied from back control) with the arm triangle (kata gatame) — threading the choking arm around t...
A kata gatame variation against turtle where the attacker collapses the defender sideways to finish the choke. After threading under the near arm and feeding it across the neck, the attacker drives sh...
A kata gatame variation where the attacker breaks down the turtle and transitions directly into mount while keeping the head-and-arm locked. The choke is set from turtle, and as the defender collapses...
Kata Gatame to Ezequiel is a combination technique where a kata gatame (arm triangle) attempt transitions to an Ezequiel choke when the opponent defends the head-and-arm choke. [1] The grip transition...
The arm triangle choke (kata-gatame) is a family of blood chokes that use the attacker's arms in combination with the opponent's own trapped shoulder to compress both carotid arteries. [1,2] The defin...
A classic Kata Gatame sequence begun from mount and finished from side control. The attacker sets the head-and-arm choke from mount, then “slides off” to the side while maintaining the lock. The angle...
A choke where the opponent’s arm and head are trapped against the attacker’s shoulder, restricting blood flow to the brain via carotid arteries. Can induce unconsciousness if held.
A classic arm triangle choke variation applied from the mounted position. The attacker isolates the opponent’s arm against the head, driving shoulder pressure into the neck while lowering chest weight...
A classic arm triangle choke variation applied from the mounted position. The attacker isolates the opponent’s arm against the head, driving shoulder pressure into the neck while lowering chest weight...
The arm triangle rear naked crossover combines elements of the rear naked choke and arm triangle by trapping the opponent's arm alongside their neck while the choking arm threads across the front of t...
A kata gatame variation against turtle where the choke is secured before rolling the defender over to complete the finish. The attacker threads to trap the arm across the neck, locks the head-and-arm,...
An arm triangle variation applied from S-Mount. The attacker raises one knee high beside the opponent’s head and swings the other knee across their chest, creating the “S” shape. This tightens control...
A side-control kata gatame finished with a full or partial sprawl. The attacker drives shoulder and chest pressure beside the defender’s head while sprawling the legs back to load weight through the r...
An arm triangle choke variation applied from the knee-on-belly position. The attacker drives the knee across the opponent’s torso to control posture, while isolating one arm against the opponent’s hea...
An arm triangle choke variation applied from the knee-on-belly position. The attacker drives the knee across the opponent’s torso to control posture, while isolating one arm against the opponent’s hea...
A head-and-arm choke variation applied from side control. The attacker traps the opponent’s far arm across their neck while lowering the shoulder and chest beside the head, applying strong lateral com...
A crossface-based variation of the arm triangle choke applied from the guard position. Instead of using a collar grip, the attacker drives a crossface under the opponent’s head, trapping the far arm a...
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...
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...
A collar-grip variation of the arm triangle choke applied from the guard position. The attacker uses one hand to grip the opponent’s collar (gi) while trapping the head and arm, anchoring the choke an...
The head-and-arm choke subfamily encompasses all arm triangle variations where the attacker traps the opponent’s head and one arm together, using the trapped arm as a wedge against one carotid artery ...
A side-control kata gatame finished with one knee pinning the near-side hip and the opposite leg posted (knee-on-belly–style base). The knee-hip pin blocks shrimping and guard recovery while the poste...
A no-gi variation of the arm triangle choke applied from the open guard. Without the aid of collar grips, the attacker uses arm threading, shoulder pressure, and hip angling to isolate the opponent’s ...
A no-gi guard variation of the arm triangle where the attacker first immobilizes the opponent’s arm via wrist control (pinning the wrist to the mat or across the chest). With the wrist anchored, the a...
A no-gi variation of the arm triangle choke applied from half guard. The attacker threads their arm under the opponent’s head and traps the far arm, then uses shoulder pressure, chest connection, and ...
A no-gi variation of the arm triangle choke applied from the closed guard. Without the collar grip, the attacker uses arm positioning and shoulder pressure to trap the opponent’s head and arm. Proper ...
A flexion wrist lock involves forcing the hand downward toward the inner forearm (palmar flexion), applying pressure on the radiocarpal joint. Causes intense pain and injury risk.
The Stoner Control Arm Triangle applies an arm triangle choke (kata gatame / head-and-arm choke) from the Stoner Control rubber guard position, using the unique leg positioning of the rubber guard to ...
A head-and-arm choke (kata gatame) applied from knee-on-belly. The attacker pins the opponent with the knee ride, isolates the near arm across the opponent’s neck, and drives the shoulder and chest in...
A kata gatame (head-and-arm choke) applied from knee-on-belly using a **reverse finishing angle**. Instead of walking your chest toward the opponent’s head (standard finish), you rotate so your head a...
A head-and-arm choke applied from the guard position, where the attacker traps the opponent’s arm and head between their own arm and torso. The attacker pivots their hips and angles to the side to com...
