Triangle From The Back

As more and more grapplers get better at defending the rear chokes from the back, there is a need to have some other submissions to flow to. Switching to the back triangle is a nice option as long as you can secure the position and control your opponent so they don't escape the back position.

Some grapplers will throw their leg over the same shoulder as the "One on One" grip, I however have had more success with going over the opposite shoulder.
