Posture Escape vs Triangle, Elbow Control Armbar from Triangle
Marcelo discusses some options from guard after locking for a Triangle. If caught here, you can either choose to escape explosively, but you will need to rely on slipperyness, or incrementally, but protecting your elbow from an armbar. To finish the armlock, simply pinch your opponent's hand underneath your armpit, and raise your hips off the mat as you squeeze your guard on his shoulders. This technique is a wonderful addition for those who do not have the leg dexterity or reach to finish the normal triangle when your opponent is postured up.
