Robsco 1319 posts	Friday 17th December 2004 at 22:55 Is it simply a reverse triangle? As in trapping an arm and the neck? Really never got me anywhere and people just seem to squirm out of it. What am I missing? Let's have some serious decent points Andy. The Admin Guy

Robsco 1319 posts	Friday 17th December 2004 at 23:02 Well I kinda knew that, the choke is a waiting game sometimes, but how does that work with the reverse triangle? I never knew it was actually a proper technique, I've done it plenty of times, but never managed to keep them pinned there. P.S. Was the enquiry on IntelCompute.com geniune? The Admin Guy

I locked my knee in around my opponents head while they was trying to crawl into the guard and that did some kind of counter into side control. So with my knee locking up my opponents chin I stepped over into mount and got the arm in there too. Locked the knee in again, pulled the head up....somehow it was a choke.
