Arm Triangle Choke from Side Control | MMA Submissions

All right, guys. Chad is going to teach another arm triangle, and you're going to start out from side control. Watch how he does it.

Okay, so start out in the side control position, and we can also start when my opponent is particularly having it up here -- or maybe, sometimes, also if someone is not using bit strength, try and push off of that -- yeah. Probably you might have guys who do that too. So if that scenario happens -- so let's go over that one first -- if this happens where someone's very aggressive, I can actually just block the elbow, move myself a bit more, and come down. That's much more efficient, instead of just pushing him -- that's inefficient, especially if he's very strong, I just block him with myself, level down, and come down right to, as you can see, an arm triangle position. Okay. Or another scenario -- if the partner starts bringing the arm up like so, just sneak in there. Okay. So it's a couple basic ideas on how to get this position.

Now, once it's established, I'm going to do a hop over right to the submitting position. Now I'm going actually to the other side while keeping my control. I can kind of lean my head forward at this angle and use the base. And now I'm going to kick my leg up, one two, like so, and land right into my arm triangle position.

Okay. So one more time. My opponent is really being aggressive here, so I block the arm and I move myself right in. See, I slide right into my gable position. Now, stay tight, too, make sure you're not out like that because the arm will get out in sparring, back to here or maybe, instead, back to side control. So make sure that when you establish this control here, my head stays a bit tight.

Now, I'm going to put my head down and do a one-two and touch myself right here. And land, right back to my position, and right into my truck. Okay, let's do that one more time. That is a arm triangle setup from side control.

Now I must look up arm triangle for people who are not agile or coordinated.

[forcedconfess]

Just tried that jump on a dummy with no fight and almost broke my neck😂 yeah I’ll go to mount then side control

[skepptikk]

awesome job man, sick transition from one side to arm triangle side

[mav]

never thought of hopping over like that. I always establish that arm triangle position from side control and i try hopping to mount but the movement is clunky and inefficient. Hopping over like that seems clever though. Thanks!

[TheTaoofEternalWar]

I think the key to this one is getting the angle of force just right. I can crank it like crazy with the angle slightly off and not get the tap. Gable grip huh? I have always used the S grip on this one. Gable grip could help with the angle.

I love these mma video please keep them up!

And now where's the tutorial to do the headstand lol

[BreezeeGreenz]

This is one of my fave chokes. You can actually get it in and end it standing up, while in a clench, or get it in standing up and drag the person down. Beautiful choke.

[nickragusa]

Great stuff here how cool is this he sinches that choke in after the jump over by slowly ratcheting it up by sliding left if I’m not mistaken. Sick stuff

[chinvincible]

I use the hop over but i don't get the benefit (Although props on the agility/strength) in hopping over vertically like that

[davidsimmons]

Now how can I do it since i cant do an elbow handstand?

[grantgrant]

Would be so funny if he loses the balaoans roll forward instead

[rush]

Damn thanks for the setup I always have to get a friend to let me do it cause I never have a good efficient way of getting it in, this is gonna really help

[Thedon-xygm]

does anybody know how to do it without jumping. i can never catch myself midair

[Lopata]

Good explanation to do it on white belts or a drunk hobo. On a high lvl nobody will push you like this to get the arm. Waste of time
