Arm trap triangle

Also known as Anaconda Choke — the canonical term used on this site.

Training background: Mechanical description

Descriptive — arm-trapped triangle-geometry strangle

Arm trap triangle is the descriptive name for the anaconda choke — flagging the arm-trap mechanic and the triangle-geometry closure that define the strangle’s configuration.

Etymology. “Arm trap” specifies the trapped-arm element; “triangle” attaches the geometric form of the closing arm configuration. The label appears in instructional vocabulary that prefers geometric description over the “anaconda” metaphor.

Mechanics. The bilateral compression closes via the trapped-arm shoulder pressing one carotid and the choking-arm forearm-and-biceps closing the other side.

Cross-reference. “Anaconda choke” is the canonical name; “reverse D’arce” is the directional-comparison alternate. Full mechanical coverage on Anaconda.
