Triangle Figure Four Move in MMA

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, I am Angel Perez, with Champion Martial Arts in Miami, Florida. And today, we're going to teach you mixed martial arts techniques. Now we are going to demonstrate to you what is called, in Judo, the Sankaku. Sankaku is known as the "triangle" or the "figure four". A lot of wrestlers like to bring their hands in here and lift the leg. As soon as that happens, he's going to bring his leg over my neck. He's going to bring my arm in front of me, tighten his legs in the triangle position, squeeze my leg down. I know you realized how quickly I got red. That's because he's cutting all the air and blood flow going up to my brain; very painful. You feel dizzy right away. And if you don't tap out quickly, you will pass out. So, one more time, I get under his leg. He brings me down, brings my head in front of me, triangle squeezes. No chance of getting out of that one if you apply it properly. Great technique- Sankaku, again, the "triangle" or the "figure four"."
