Eddie Bravo's Rubber Guard Technique 2, photo 1 Hold your opponent's head down by headlocking him with your left arm. Use the classic wrestling grip with your right hand.

Eddie Bravo's Rubber Guard Technique 2, photo 3 ONLY while your opponent's right hand is on the mat, bring your left leg up, hook it with your left arm and reclaspe the SAME grip with your right hand and squeeze tight! IMPORTANT: With your right elbow, push your opponent's left shoulder so that you can sneak your right knee out a little.
Eddie Bravo's Rubber Guard Technique 2, photo 4 In this position, your opponent will be only to hit you with his left hand. BUT you'll need him to try and punch you with his left so that you can set up the triangle on him. Just squeeze tight on his head and WAIT for him to try and punch you. When he does, use your right foot to block the strike.
