Triangle Escape - The A-Hole
Getting stuck in the Triangle choke is never any fun, However, getting this triangle choke counter called the A-Hole escape done to you doesn't look like a walk in the park either. Give it a try and see how it works for you, even though you probably wont make many friends in the gym.

I like. Looks like something a catch guy would do.
Wouldn't posting that arm across lead to an arm bar though?
Been beaten and scarred, you'll never break me. I'm born again hard.
Great technique Chaz, gonna try it tonight. But how many takes did you have to do?....sucks being the guy in black. :) (I hope u bought him a beer?)
That's not me, but im sure that guy does deserve a beer!
seems to me that most time people consider a move an "a-hole move", or "d-bag move", it ususally means that it's a technique that works really, really well.
As much as I like the princples in this technique, posture, stacking, counter-pressure, etc., not to mention the bonus of punishing someone trying to choke you, like krazylarry, I have to wonder if you aren't just handing an armbar to your opponent. Anyone work this escape regularly?

Im with larry and ptbeast on this one.
Why on earth would the bottom guy try and hook his left leg and not the right? (ex. at 2:10)
If your on top and you're already that far around, you're pretty much safe the triangle at that angle.

This is just rediculous , first off no one in your gym is gunna wanna train with people who do this kinda junk to them , second of all you grip the other leg , and third of all go ahead and put ur arm near someones neck when they no what theyre doing youll be getting armbared and choked out real quick
I think the reason for reaching like he does is to get the person stacked. If the bottom person is stacked without proper hip position then they can't successfully finish the triangle or armbar.
By the title and comments, I just tought that you would stick your finger on the guys asshole! thank god you didn´t!
wathc out for the armbar laying your arm like that.
This is hilarious. For those of you who don't do BJJ or submission wrestling and are viewing this do not try to do this against anyone above a white belt level. Anyone above this level will break your arm. Also, like others have said the guy on the bottom essentially assisted the top person in this technique by grabbing the wrong leg and bringing onto his own face. This is not correct technique. In short, posting your arm out like that is the LAST thing you want to do, unless you want your arm broken. There are much more effective and safer ways to to break the triangle. Pick up a book by Saulo Ribeiro or someone else who knows something, unlike these two clowns. This is not an A-hole technique, it is as stupid. It's as dumb as trying to poke the guy in the eye who has you in a triangle. Sure, you may be able to poke them in the eye but you are going to be the one getting seriously hurt.
wow!
