any variations or tips?
After watching GerbJ's video on it, I gave it a shot. It's one of those things that's quite uncomfortable, but won't submit a guy in a fight (at least, not a high %). It's a neat trick, but I'd look at it more as a transitional thing, distract the guy with pain, isolate the arm, and then armbar. That said, I don't think I'll be using it much.
thanks for the intelligent feedback. i was just inquiring because i had never heard of/seen it until recently and it had a certain 'cool' factor.

lol, trust me, there is no "cool factor" to anything Ari Bolden does
I looked it up but never tried it. Looks complicated.
It's no more complicated than a triangle, but you're right for not messing with it.
But from reverse? I understand a triangle's applications because I've drilled the hell out of them. When and why is this particular move advantageous, rather than say...a rear naked choke?
It's just another option, and if you're a higher belt, it could be a good transitional move, maybe. Keep in mind, it's not a triangle, I was just saying it's no more complicated than a triangle. After watching the video, I was thinking it was a modified triangle, but it's not, it's just a pain move.
