I've used it a couple of times rolling. My only question is why doesnt the other guy have a shirt on?

Testing the effectiveness for rubber guard in MMA? I dont know.

It certainly wouldnt have killed him to throw a top on to do the video.
But none of the ladies will be complaining.

Cuz he's an MMA fighter bro. Don't you see the gloves? LOL.

This is a good move to know. Does it work if your legs aren't very long?

It'll just be a shit ton tighter if you can lock it in

So, is it better to slide your right leg up to collect the arm than swing it up (1:20)?

I've locked the triangle on the shoulders before but it was more in a transition. I never thought about figuring out a setup to purposely lock it in. Very effective move.

I've been using something similar (2 arms in triangle) to set up armbars for a quite a while now. It offers an incredible amount of control.

We stumbled upon this too. Here is a vid. gab hitting it live in competition at the pan ams this year:

Do you use a similiar set up or do you have other tricks up your sleeve?
