Think this hold is awesome! great watching the taker eyes in fear of when is it going to happen and the alpha eye shwing how dom he is feeling now... havnt tried this hold but very interested in giving and taking.
I think of it as there being three stages of countering a hold: early, on time, and late. Which escape you use depends on when you respond.
The early escape from a triangle is easy from inside guard; don't let your posture get broken down. From inside a mount it's tougher, but basically if you're escaping the triangle you're escaping to the mount, so that's not really specific.
My favorite on-time escape from inside full guard is the smash escape (a quick search didn't find me a video, so I'll make one and post it here if you guys don't know what I'm talking about). From inside a mount, I don't really have a good one...
My favorite late escape from full guard is the sit-back... again, from inside mount, I don't have one.
Thanks to MiamiJDR for the clip. The best advice: move quickly because you don't have a lot of time. The "trick" to the "escape" is never letting the triangle be fully applied by keeping your arm straight. Great stuff! Thanks, again.
How To Do Bas Rutten's Escape From A Triangle Choke
1.Step 1: Keep Arm Straight. You're caught in the choke. ...
2.Step 2: Reach For The Head. Now I want to grab his neck. ...
3.Step 3: Slide Back. With his head in your hands, slide back. ...
4.Step 4: Move To The Side.
Triangle choke is not an easy or basic technique. Applying it takes precision and a good understanding of the game, but it is very rewarding and once applied, difficult to escape.

Yeah.. it makes more sense now :)
Thank you!
(When you keep your arm straight, won't the guy just switch to an arm bar? I'll have to try that..)

It is easier if the opponent is not expecting it. ;)
