This is Grant N.


I've been doing judo for about 19 years. Been practicing here of strong heart for about eight months now. And, I'm gonna show, my judo style, triangle choke.


So, in general this will happened from, if you get behind their back. First what I like to do I'll come under his arm and I'll grab his wrist, even grab the wrist or the hand. I prefer to grab the hand like this. I'll bring in right into his hip and then I'll put my shoulder right in the middle of his back. And I, as I'm spinning around, put my free hand my, and my grab the back of his elbow and pull it up by itself. And then I'm gonna turn my wrist and thumb up like a hitchhiker and paste it right to his head. Then with my free leg, I'm gonna bring it right into his, behind his armpit. And I'm gonna roll on my side. Before I secure the arm, I'm gonna secure the arm I had right to his hip, either his belt or his Gi pull it tight. If you do not control this, he's gonna be able to just roll into you and you just completely waste the move. So make sure you control this arm first.


Once I've controlled this, but grab and his elbow, pull it, his arm towards me and kick out my top leg. And my bottom leg is gonna just become a pillow for his head and I apply the triangle.


This is what it's gonna look like full speed.

Thank you.
