Reverse Try-angles: The shit? Or Shitty?

So for a good while I've been trying to finish the reverse triangle with no success. (One where they defend the regular triangle by wrapping their arm around your leg, kinda omoplata style, and you latch the other way.. Reverse triangle). Maybe its called inverted triangle or something?

My question is: how the hell do you choke someone with it? I've tried every angle of pressure I know is possible in that thing.. No luck so far. Am I making mistakes or is it a low percentage move? Should I just go to the omoplata?

My first coach showed me that as the "Bolt Lock." The trick is to get a really, really nice angle, just as you would if you had short legs and were trying to triangle someone (just in the opposite way, obviously), and then wrap one arm around the head and the other arm around the leg going under their arm, s grip, and squeeze.

Hopefully that description made sense.

It's more a neck crank than a choke. I've gotten 1 or two taps with it but I'm not good at getting the angle needed to finish.

I could be wrong, but that's my experience :)

do you have a video of somebody doing it?
is it like this kind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a82B3Rgh4lI ?

I we just discussed this in the 10WO Instructor chate the other day, I wish I could just find my post and cut/paste it. Yes it's legit, yes you can choke them. I'll just give and abridged version. Lets say you are doing a righty wrong side triangle with their left arm in (instead of their right arm). Angle is everything, get as close to 90 degress as possible. Then Clamp their head and your knee (left arm is between your left leg and the right side of their heard, your right arm is over your knee gable gripping behind their head. Now stretch your arms, don't pull them, and push your right hammy into the left side of their neck will leg curling then stomping your feet to the floor.

When I first injured my hip I was devistated when I realized I could no longer do a regular lefty triangle as it put way to much pressure in it and my knee. So I revisited the wrong side triangle I had learned from at a Judo camp years before. All my triangles are righty now. Either regular righty or wrong side righty. They nice part for me is that I play weak side Rubber Guard, and with the righty wrong side triangle it gives me the kimura, inverted straight or I can clear the head, kungfu to gogo ro straight to Jiu Claw off of it.

1) Don't ever call it a B.O.L.T. lock ever again, Make sure you let Brandon and Tyler know that!
2) It is most deffianltly a choke if doing it correctly, but for sure you can get a neck crank from it as well.

feed fist to open artery, ala Gag reflex, pull head with free hand.

Try a gag reflex, I like to pop my hips up and kimura that arm then drag it across.

some1 plz post link to video. my small brain has no idea what is going on here.
