Setting Up a Triangle / Reverse Triangle from Closed Guard by Controlling the Arm (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get the triangle or reverse triangle by controlling the arm, starting from closed guard. Lucas has the opponent in his closed guard and pulls him down to control the head. He under hooks one of the arms and uses his other hand to frame under the head. Lucas then connects the under hook hand to his wrist. He uses the frame to push the opponent away. The opponent’s reaction is to attempt to push the frame away and Lucas takes advantage of this to grip and control that wrist. Lucas now uses his hips and legs to push the arm under the leg. From here, Lucas can finish with the regular triangle, or a reverse triangle.
