triangle choke

A triangle choke is a grappling technique used in martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA, where the attacker entangles their opponent’s neck and one arm with their legs, forming a triangular shape. By applying pressure with the legs and securing the head, it compresses the carotid arteries, restricting blood flow to the brain. This can quickly cause the opponent to feel dizzy or pass out if they do not tap out or defend. It's an effective submission move that leverages leverage and positioning to neutralize an opponent without striking.
