arm triangle/ side choke

Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira has long been one of my favorite fighters. I remember watching him catch Heath Herring in 2004 in a nasty Anaconda choke. I promptly went back to my gym and tried to Anaconda choke everyone in site. I had the most succes choking out the students in kids class. Every time one of the kids tapped out it was like getting a prize at the bottom of a box of craker jacks. (get it?)

In this video, the man with 21 MMA wins by submission shows his technique for getting and finishing the side choke (aka pillow choke, arm triangle, side strangle) 

Two Brazilian Jiu Jitsu masters (Fabricio Werdum and Thales Leites) share some techniques for defeating the turtle position. 

The coolest BJJ cat in the universe shows us how to get out of those stupid arm triangle chokes.

I love this technique, right after I upload it, im gonna click the 'Hit This' button. You might want to watch it so you can click the button too.

Your going for the Side Choke or the Arm Triangle - and your opponent hits the "Crash Landing", here are two options to hit from that position.

Here is a transition that I have been catching lately, nothing fancy, but I thought I'd share it with you guys to see if you had anything to add to it, or just to see if it helped anyone else out there
