How to Finish an Arm Triangle Choke From Side Control #JiuJitsu #ArmTriangle #friscotx

The arm triangle choke is all about control, positioning, and pressure.

Professor Matthew Jones demonstrates how he likes to set up an arm triangle starting from deep side control. He uses a finger crawl to improve the position, gets his head underneath, and applies pressure before transitioning to mount. From there, he connects his hands palm-to-palm, takes a big step to keep his opponent from trapping his legs, then goes wide with his knees and sprawls to finish the choke.

Small positioning details can make a big difference when finishing an arm triangle.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
