Now while your opponent is trapped in your guard he will typically be trying to throw punches or elbows into your face to do damage while looking for a way to escape. The key to begin setting up your triangle choke is to grab one of his arms while he is trying to punch you and to deflect it so it moves beside your head instead of hitting it. You also want to try to keep a hold of his arm in the process. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/0/0f/Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-1Bullet1. jpg/v4-460px-Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-1Bullet1. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/0/0f/Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-1Bullet1. jpg/aid492466-v4-728px-Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-1Bullet1. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">

By now you should be in a position where your opponents head is down by your hips. You should also still have a firm hold of their one arm right by your shoulder. At this stage you begin to raise your legs up and over your opponents head. {“smallUrl”:“https://www. wikihow. com/images/thumb/a/ad/Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-4Bullet1. jpg/v4-460px-Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-4Bullet1. jpg”,“bigUrl”:"/images/thumb/a/ad/Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-4Bullet1. jpg/aid492466-v4-728px-Apply-a-Triangle-Choke-from-Open-Guard-in-Mixed-Martial-Arts-Step-4Bullet1. jpg",“smallWidth”:460,“smallHeight”:345,“bigWidth”:728,“bigHeight”:546,“licensing”:"<div class="mw-parser-output">
