THD Triangle

THD, or 'Total Hold Down' is a great MMA & Submission position. I will be showing a few more submissions from this position in the future.

• Step 1

Here Rachel has Landon in the THD position, Rachel has Landon's right arm trapped behind his own neck with her left hand. Rachel's left knee is in Landon's back with her right foot posted. Landon is also trapped on his side.
• Step 2

Rachel uses her right arm to trap Landon's left arm to the Mat. Rachel tries to straighten out Landon's arm as much as possible.
• Step 3

Rachel steps her right foot over Landon's trapped left arm and tries to put her right heel as tight into Landon's neck as possible.
• Step 4

Rachel releases her grip on Landon's right arm and grabs her own right shin, Rachel then pulls her foot as close to Landon's neck as she can.
• Step 5

Keeping her grip tight, Rachel rolls backwards, pulling Landon into her legs.
• Step 6

Rachel throws her left leg over her right foot so that her right foot is deep into the back of her left knee
• Step 7

To finish the submission, Rachels pulls her left leg downward and flexes her left heel to her rear. This drives the Tendon deep into Landon's neck.
