Triangle sweep

A sweep from a locked triangle. When they posture up to defend, you hold their ankle and roll them onto their back to finish the triangle from on top.

Key steps

  1. Lock the triangle choke and keep their trapped arm across their body.
  2. Reach down and grab behind one of their ankles to block that leg.
  3. Turn your hips and roll them over toward that side with your legs locked.
  4. Keep the triangle locked as you roll and come up sitting on top of them.
  5. Pull their head up and squeeze your knees to finish from mount.

Key details

  • The ankle grip stops them stepping out to catch their balance.
  • Loosening the lock during the roll gives them the space to pull their head out.
