Getting a hand in the collar:
From standing position with your left hand grab the right side of his collar and then feed your right hand to his collar.
2 takedown techniques:
From standing position/throw
You and your opponent grab on the same side (right) gi except his hand is above yours, take your left hand and grab his sleeve, with your left foot step diagonally and pull his grip off your collar, put your head to his bicep and drop to your knees so that you are perpendicular under his arm for the takedown.
This time around your opponent’s arm is under yours instead of above, grab his sleeve, do not be squared up with him, be on an angle, place your right foot on his hip and fall to the mat. Keep hold of his sleeve when he follows you to the mat swing your legs over his shoulder, crook of your knee to his neck and lock up the triangle.

Triangle defense:
- first triangle defense is to wrap your right arm around your opponents left leg
- head up and elevate up raising your opponents hips up in the air when you come back down you create a little space between your opponents hip and your neck
- slip your left hand in the space and work it thru countering the triangle
Applying the triangle while your opponent is defending it
- your opponent may try to collapse on your leg,
- place your right hand on your knee and place your elbow to the mat if he tries to collapse on your leg, this will stop him from putting his weight on your leg
- if he raises up and tries to work his hand between your leg, keep your feet locked behind him, you might have to open it when he starts to get his hand in, grab it like you are doing the “bro” handshake and then finish him with the arm bar
- remember to squeeze the knees together
