Introduction

Lyokai Royce, head coach at Chekmatu, demonstrates a fundamental triangle choke from closed guard. This technique is effective against the majority of opponents and requires minimal setup.

Starting Position

The defender begins in a standard closed guard position with the opponent at approximately 90 degrees. The instructor wraps around the opponent's torso to establish control.

Grip and Sleeve Control

The defender grabs the opponent's sleeve on one side while securing the opposite collar grip. This dual grip prevents the opponent from defending or creating distance.

Breaking the Grip

Using the right knee, the defender breaks the opponent's grip by creating upward pressure on the arm. This opens space for the triangle setup.

Grip Transition

The defender sweeps their grip to the opposite side while maintaining control. The left foot then posts on the opponent's hip to create proper angle and distance.

Triangle Execution

From the repositioned base, the defender breaks the remaining grip and adjusts hips forward to secure the triangle choke. The position is now ready for the submission or transition.

Technique Repetition

The instructor demonstrates the sequence again, emphasizing sleeve control, grip breaking with the knee, hip positioning, and the final triangle lock.
