Saulo is caught in Xande's triangle, so his first thing is to not panic and to not let his head move forward, toward Xande's body. Next he throws his inside arm across Xande's body, framing with his elbow, and steps his leg up to place his knee on Xande's body. Now he has angled himself in a way it is hard for Xande to attack. From here, he can take his time and inch his way back until the legs are forced open and he can escape, immediately looking to pass the guard.Add to Favorites 822 Remove From Favorites 2104 days ago
Continuing with the triangle choke defense, Saulo breaks down the position further and highlights the differences between defending and escaping. The first reaction must be to defend, which is to survive and prevent the choke from getting deeper. Then you can focus on escaping, which is to get out of the choke and return to a safe position. It is crucial that one can remain calm while being attacked and defend until he creates an opening to escape.Add to Favorites 1137 Remove From Favorites 2105 days ago
Saulo's opponent has thrown up his legs for the triangle, but has not yet adjusted to fully lock the triangle. Saulo's first move is to fall to the side of his free arm, posting his hand on the mat and bringing his other knee to his opponent's ribs. Pushing off his hand, Saulo extends himself back and away from his opponent until he is able to open the legs. As soon as the legs open, he brings his elbow inside the thigh and applies pressure and works for the guard pass.Add to Favorites 1183 Remove From Favorites 2795 days ago
