But hey, your goal was to get under side control first, so you got part of it right. ;) <br /><br />Also, you may have been letting them settle into a good tight side control too much before starting to throw the triangle. Then when you realize the triangle isn't there and want to escape, they've still got good control. Try setting it up before they get comfortable.<br /><br />Sometimes we're only off by an inch or two. In drilling, it's not much of a problem because our partner is cooperating and will tap (and will often, even unconsciously, shift to help us get the position). But in live rolling, they're actively trying to avoid it, and that makes it much harder to use a new move.<br /><br />Try drilling it with progressive resistance. First drill normally, with a fully cooperating partner, to get the details down. Then have them fight back a little bit, and then a little more, and so on, until it's full-on positional sparring.lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603807319832815566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7790324623702062987.post-2255823813574981602010-02-27T18:09:05.688-05:002010-02-27T18:09:05.688-05:00Hahaha!

It's always different when you do it to someone who A. Doesn't know it is comming, and B. Tries really hard to keep you from doing it. lol<br /><br />Though, practicing the position may just been what I need. I need to figure out where to push, or where to pull to close the dang triangle. Maybe once I figure that part out exactly I could actually finish it for once!
