Triangle Choke

A blood choke using your legs to form a triangle around the opponent's neck and arm.

The triangle choke (sankaku jime) traps one of your opponent's arms and their neck inside a figure-four leg configuration. By squeezing your thighs and pulling their head down, you compress the carotid arteries on both sides. The key details are cutting an angle to tighten the choke, locking the triangle high on the neck, and controlling their posture so they cannot stack or escape.
