Isn't this how Orchard got Dewitt at Sub League?
Nice, I'm going to try workin that in this week.
Honestly, I do this often. I got a general rule that if its possible to triangle around their shoulders, triangle. If you completely dominate the arm on the kick, I test this. If not, proceed to croc.
I think youre rightQuote:

This is a nice variation. This is Preston Bludworth and he is a friend of mine, loyal to 10th planet like you wouldn't believe and a blue belt under me (he lives in Montana). I tested him earlier this year.
He is 6'5'' and about 210lbs so his extra length really gives him some neat variations for those long limbs.
Worth keeping an eye on Preston. 210lbers who play rubber guard are a rarity.
Is it just me or are ectomorph body types gradually taking control of the game?? :)

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.Quote:

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

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?Quote:

I also use alot of reverse (or backward triagles)triangles as well, due to my bad hip, I do all right sided triangles regardless of the entry, so triangles with two arms in to attack the arm have been pretty common for me. Preston actually sent me this video a few months ago and asked me what I thought. I'm paraphrasing but I remember telling him its a solid technique, something we use, but didn't find it as something new as a concept.Quote:

Chris hit it. Locking the shoulder is the key principle in all of this i think. And probly how most people stumble upon it. Lock the shoulder, then you have choices on how to finish.
i like it. awesome.

I hit this more than the east coast croc but what Preston's perspective did for me (he's explained it before) was to focus on the squeezing aspects of this variation. You do have to clinch down like a triangle in order to keep the shoulder isolated and to retain the arm bar.
Awesome variation... I had a chance to roll with both of these guys, when they visited the school I train at... they are cool dudes with some excellent skills.
