    Two arm in triangle

    So idk if its just because I have long legs or something but when I have people I my guard I can just snap a triangle on them without getting one of their arms out. Then I just squeeze with my legs and pull down on their head and about 30% of the time I get a tap. Idk if its actually working as a choke or if the 30% of people are just wussy. But the other 70% of the time I just end up stalling there, the other person can't escape and I don't know where to go to finish. Any ideas? I figured I would ask since I suppose someone might have already had this problem.

    armbar seems like the best option from there. I mean, you can even keep the triangle if your hips are in the right place as a fulcrum.

    Watch Gabbys video 2 threads up. Same exact scenario...straight to double armbar.

    Awesome to see that demonstrated. I hit it a few times by accident, I was trying to do an East Croc, but I chickened out in swinging the leg over, so I just cleared the shoulder and locked it up like a triangle to finish for the arm bar. Then I went home and checked the book and I realized that I had done a half assed east coast croc. Like Bradshaw I was wondering if it was a fluke or just my partner having a sensititve day.

    Watching the video I can see why it would work sometimes and why it wouldn't. Essentially, I just wasn't paying attention to where their shoulder was before I triangled my leg.
