What if you have short stubby legs like me, and have a hard time making triangle chokes work? Trust me, I feel your pain. I’m 5’9″, but have the torso of a 6’+ man, which is why in my podcast I even appear taller than Robert Drysdale (who is 6’3″). So I get it.

I can get “diamonds” instead of “triangles” pretty easily, and learned a nifty trick to take advantage of the position. I call this the triangle sweep, and it can be used whenever you have a triangle or a diamond. What’s great is that it will land you right into the mount, where you can choose to bail and stick the mount, or reset your triangle and get really tight.

A pin from the bottom guard? Yes. This Triangle pin is quite devious, and once locked in creates a huge problem for the top person. If they stay put, they will get elbowed to oblivion. If they pull out, the get triangle choked. And if they push in, they get short arm barred.

For MMA, playing guard is not always the best or safest strategy. It’s easy to end up stuck in your guard and getting ground and pounded. For this reason, I like using the over hook guard, especially in MMA.

From the over hook, it is difficult for your opponent to strike – even head butts are off the table. It’s also perhaps the best striking position for the guard player, as they have easy access to elbows to the head.

However, there are a lot of great attacks from the over hook guard, especially when the opponent is trying to strike. Key among them is the triangle choke.
