A triangle choke is a type of figure-four chokehold that encircles the opponent’s neck and one arm with the legs in a configuration similar to the shape of a triangle.

Applying pressure using both legs and the opponent’s own shoulder, the technique is a type of lateral vascular restraint that constricts the blood flow from the carotid arteries to the brain, potentially resulting in loss of consciousness in seconds when applied correctly.

Recent studies have shown that the triangle choke takes an average of 9.5 seconds to render an opponent unconscious from the moment it is properly applied.

The triangle choke was seen in early kosen judo competition.

If you learn and master the Triangle Choke, that is how powerful your potential submissions can become. You will get very comfortable applying the Triangle Choke when your opponent even makes a slight slip up.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Technique – Triangle Choke

By Gina Dean

A triangle choke is a type of strangulation technique used with four-figure chokehold trick which encircles opponent’s neck and an arm such that the whole posture looks like a triangle. It is commonly known as Sankaku Jime in judo. Triangle choke constricts blood flow from carotid arteries to brains. The technique can cause unconsciousness from 10 to 15 seconds. It may kill the opponent when held too long. It is used with strict guidelines in judo fights since it is the most dreaded technique to be used. And is also used in various grappling martial arts including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Professional Wrestling, Sambo and other mixed martial arts competition.

In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, this technique is usually applied with the legs from a guarding position held from the ground. One leg of the attacker encircles the neck and arm of the opponent, with the knee next to the opponent’s neck; the other leg crosses the ankle of his first leg, using the foot of the first leg to lock the second leg of the opponent at the knee. The effectiveness of the technique can be increased by pulling the legs together and using the arms to pull the opponent’s head towards the attacker’s shoulder.

Triangle chokes are of different types such as arm triangle choke, anaconda choke and side triangle choke. These triangle chokes are widely taught or practiced under the basic kimura closed guard and open guard techniques. The triangle choke method has become immensely popular, and is depicted in many movies, for example in Lethal Weapon, this triangle choke is illustrated.
