Setup
From back control or side control, wrap your legs around their torso. Lock your ankles and squeeze, restricting their breathing without a choke.
Control Mechanics
- Both legs across their midsection
- Ankles locked tightly
- Constant squeezing pressure
Submission Transitions
From body triangle, you can transition to arm triangle chokes or maintain dominance while attacking with upper body submissions.
Escape Defense
Prevent escapes by keeping your body low and maintaining ankle lock tightness.
