Scissor Sweep & Choke Combo – from closed guard (Triangle Choke)

14 July 2008 No Comments

You can also pair the Scissor sweep set-up with a triangle. From the scissor weep set-up in the previous post, transition to the triangle attack.

1 – Break the grip on the right side.
Post your left foot on his hip and bring your left knee up across his right bicep. (he may still have a lapel grip with his right arm. that’s okay.) Break his right lapel grip by arching your back up. (It’s tempting, but do not break the grip by extending your left leg. this will create too much space and you’ll loose your leverage position.)

2 – Turning his torso away from you to get him into trigger position.
Do this by kicking your left leg straight as you pull forward with your grips enough to get him off balance. Detail – as you do this post your right leg on his hip and squeeze it close to his body so that there’s no space for them to pull their arm out.

3 – Pull them into your triangle.
Once your opponent is off balance, pull him down towards you hard with your grips as you kick your left leg over.

4 – Tighten your triangle
Adjust your triangle, by unlocking and pushing your right leg off of your opponents left hip. When you feel it’s tight, lock it.

5 – Finish
Finish by gable gripping and pulling down on the head and/or by pulling your left ear towards your opponents right knee and flaring the legs.
