What is the name of this Brazilian Jujitsu move?

It%26#039;s the one where you have your opponent in your guard. Then you hook your legs between his/her neck and shoulder and the other leg under their armpit. Then you try and lock ankles.





You kind of look like a funny crab.





Thanks.|||I think you%26#039;re probably thinking of a triangle or the tepee like Jake and Dustin suggested.

The above link is a demonstration of the tepee.





My money is on the tepee if you are really trying to lock at the ankles rather than get the deep figure-four lock for a triangle.|||Sounds like the triangle but you don%26#039;t lock ankles, you place one ankle under the knee of the other leg. And have the opponents arm (the one trapped inside your legs) across your chest for best results.





There is alternate move similar to triangle you may be thinking of sometimes called %26quot;tepee%26quot; (like the Indian house) that is easier for people with short legs and yes the ankles lock in this move.


The legs are pretty much hooked the same way (one under armpit and other between neck/shoulder) but the arms doesn%26#039;t go across your chest but is put to your side (the same side the arm is on) and you wrap your arms around your legs and grip. Then just squeeze.





It works pretty well in some cases. One of my peers discovered it on his own by accident because he was frusterated with not being able to wrap his short legs for the triangle as well as the longer guys like myself.|||its the krabanekkybreaky|||A Triangle Choke? Sankaku-jime in Japanese...
