Triangle-Choke and Reverse-Triangle
Master Fabio Gurgel walks around the room and helps Chris, Jimmy, Paul and Josh with the Reverse Triangle-Choke: When you reconfigure the topological chirality of your legs by switching the direction of your Figure-4 for the Reverse-Triangle, you cannot rely on finishing the choke with the same pressures as before; instead of pulling the back of your opponent's head down into your belly, find their chin and place it on top of your inner thigh so that you expose their neck for the correct placement for throttling. When finishing the traditionally locked Triangle, concentrate on achieving a perpendicular angle relative to your opponent's shoulder-line, but also keeping your lower back rooted into the mat. Emphasize compression not with your weaker abductors, but rather a more powerful set of sheering forces from a dual combination of flexion and extension.
