flyinG attacks ���

Dealing with flying Attack defense option #3

1 After jumping up with my flying attack, I assume the standard triangle

position. I have a left sleeve grip above my brother’s right elbow and a

right collar grip.

2 As my body comes down to the mat, I instantly become aware that my brother

has excellent triangle defense. He has bent his trapped arm up toward his head, and

he is locking it in place with his left arm. He is also using his shoulders to resist the

pressure of the triangle. Rethinking my game plan, I immediately plant my right hand

on the inside of his left leg. Notice that I am not gripping his leg—my fingers are on

one side, and my thumb is on the other. I then push off my planted hand to rotate my

body in a counterclockwise direction.

3 As I continue to rotate my body in a counterclockwise direction, I

maintain my sleeve grip. Because I have kept my legs locked down, my

brother still thinks I’m trying to isolate his arm.
