Some main things for me to grasp were wrist control, immediately crossing my legs behind my opponents head after breaking their posture and cutting the angle!

Also as always slow squeeze so you do not burn out.

This required much practice to make it flow. ย The key thing about escaping the triangle was posturing up right away to make sure your opponent cannot cross their legs behind your head, then proceeding to break guard and advance. Proper angle to the side, pinching your knees together, ย position control and stamina were very important in this session.
