Question about the arm triangle

[Shane Lee]

after watching MTS 17, i have realized i've seen a lot of practitioners attempting to finish the Arm Triangle with the knee on stomach.

so, i started thinking about how it breaks down into basic physics. I understand how not basing out (knee on belly) you have a shortening at the lever with less force aptly at the fulcrum. ...This is not good.

My question: what class lever is the Arm Triangle?

that is fucking coooooool

Drill it till it feels right. Squeezing and positioning. I like to finish with them on their shoulder squeezing my elbow,like Eddie showed.

I really sucked at them till I drilled the shit out of them. Still kinda do.

And as for your question, there's more than one lever involved. I think your humorous would be A) though. Don't think SO much. Feel and drill.

i should of said:

the 3rd one looks like it would hurt!

AYE OHHH

[Shane Lee]

well first off, i agree with the arms and the actual locking applied within so are much more of a complex combination of levers .


...Yet, as for the bodily mechanics and positioning, i'd say it's a "class two".

No???

The three lever pictures are confusing me. The effort is the choke and the load is the knee-on-belly right?

I stopped finishing the arm triangle with the knee-on-belly after I learned a super efficient way to finish the choke at 50/50 (Ryan Hall's gym) that made me go.... "Wow" then "Duh".

[Daniel Yaeger]

it would be a class 3 with the neck being the fulcrum, arms around the neck as the effort and pushing on the hip being the load

no wait wait

what i really should've said was "2 & 3 are GREAT FOR CHOKING THE CHICKEN!
