The triangle choke is one of the premier submission techniques to force an opponent to tap or be rendered unconscious. It is a leg-based blood choke in which the fighter encircles and constricts one of his legs around the opponent's neck, wrapping it up with his other leg in a figure-4 position while entangling one of his arms in the process.

It is a versatile submission hold that can be executed from the guard, back-control or mount positions.
