can you escape from the triangle choke
bite the crotch.
Posture, which also the first counter to every sweep and submission attempt while in guard.
yes
Posture with hands, head up, butt on your heels, back straight...
keep pressure on hips (grab smth) and stand up head up- this should open their triangle (leave his back on the ground, do not lift it up)
I also find that not squaring up to your opponent while in his guard really helps. I keep my left shoulder a few inches behind my right one. This makes it very hard to get the leg across the neck. It is a good little trick.
thanks for explaining the posture technique but what is the oil check
eat your beef & chicken

who would do the oil check thing stupid technique

Actually, it's about the only grip a Turkish Oil Wrestler can hang on to! You have to see it to believe it.
papertiger,
The best way to figure out good submission escapes is to learn all you can about the mechanics of the submission you want to escape and then find ways of countering each subsequent step.
With the triangle the first thing he wants to do is get a leg up on one of your shoulders with one of your arms left inside. So preventing this is the first order of business.
The first step on the triangle after getting a leg up on a shoulder an relocking the legs together is to pull the head down. Naturally this means that if you feel him lock in the pre-triangle position you want to get your head up.
See if this method helps you figure out solutions. If you have a cooperative training partner you can work on ways of getting out of the triangle step by step. If you use that method you will never forget the lessons because you came up with them yourself.
Just remember that with submissions your chances of escaping go down with each subsequent step so you want to try to nip submissions in the bud while they are just developing rather than trying to get out right before you have to tap.
I like, once the triangle is closed, to drive my head down and to the side, to force the ankles into the ground. This I find makes it a lot harder to transition to another submission/sweep, then I'll look to step over their body with my legs and pull out this way...
If the triangle is really set and I'm about to tap, I'll fall backwards and try to throw a leg or two over thier body. Even if I can't get a leg over it usually releases the pressure a little bit, even if it does then put me in a really bad position...
The real key to avoiding the triangle though is to keep your posture good and as soon as you feel yourself getting into trouble pop your hips in and look to the ceiling..
"You can stand up and pull "reverse guard", putting your legs around their body and falling to your back, then using the power of your legs and hips to arch back and break the triangle, and end up in a scramble. I think I saw either Roger Gracie or Marcel Garcia (can't remember which) do this in one of their matches."
This is my #1 escape and because of it i don't get caught much. On the downside i use it too much and have gotten sloppy in basic triangle escapes.

yes this is the way, been popular for the last year.what we are doing from the knees, is setting a knee in the tail bone and laying back and the bringing a feet over
"eat your beef & chicken"
excellent grappling advice from TEAM SHAMROCK! I bet Dean Lister doesn;t know when to eat chicken and steak
I find that if you sit back you will loose all posture. Try posting one of your feet behind his butt, lowering your knee and pushing with it against his tail bone only while pulling your head back slowly. It is the pull-push action combined with a very uncomfortable tailbone that opens the triangle.
I think the posters question is in regards to when the Triangle is locked in place.
Put the knee that is on the same side of the caught arm against butt. Use free hand to push against back of thigh of leg that is crossed over your head along with knee up against the butt. Try that, sometimes has worked for me. No escape works 100% of the time.
Escaping from a choke or lock depends on timing, how deep the the choke or lock is in, physical strength & technique.
