This is my new favorite move this month, and lately I've been getting it a lot in training, especially in no-gi. When you have back control with over-unders on someone, they expect you to go for the RNC or the armbar, but instead you pass the arm that's under the armpit through and around the neck as you move into side control, and hey, free arm triangle.
Like this:
If you watch this video it looks painfully obvious and simple, but guys don't usually do this to me in training and I've never been taught it in class, I just sort of figured it out independently and it clicked for me, and now I've made it my main backup move from back control if I can't get the RNC.
Does anyone else here use this technique?
Know of any examples of famous jiu-jitsu guys using this move in matches? Or MMA fighters using this in fights? I guess Thales Leites used it in his fight at the TUF 5 finale.
Or does anyone else have a move they'd like to share that they've just sort of "figured out" by themselves without ever having it taught to them?
I'm a little bit drunk so sorry if this was a dumb thread, haha
