Triangle Setup Sweep
Position Details
The triangle setup sweep occurs when your opponent defends your triangle attempt by posturing. You use the momentum of their posture to sweep them over your shoulder.
Key Principles
- Attack the triangle and wait for them to posture up
- As they posture, underhook their leg on the non-triangle side
- Use the momentum of their posture to roll them over your shoulder
- Follow through to mount while maintaining the triangle position
Concepts
- Feint or Real: The triangle can be a genuine attack or setup for the sweep
- Posture Response: Their posture creates the momentum you use to sweep
- Leg Underhook: Hooking under their leg is essential for the roll
- Position Retention: Maintain the triangle throughout for a submission option
