        Central Problems
        
        1. Circumference Problem:
        Closing Head, Shoulder and Arm within Legs.
        Via Shoulder Elimination and Angle
        
        2. Posture Problem:
        Prevent Opponent from Posturing Out.
        Using Knee Pull, Head Pull, Shin Pull
        
        3. Stacking Problem:
        Prevent Opponent from stacking during strangle.
        Scoop Leg to gain advantageous angle.

        Omote Sankaku Mechanics:
        
        Head Pull:
        Unnecessary in most cases. Pull the head with both hands commits you to being in from of opponent rather than on an angle. This exposes you to stacking.
        However this is a tactic you can employ if you're unable to create angle. Can use double collar tie or gable grip above the head.
        When pulling, pull down and to the right rotate and to bring opponent into your right hamstring.
        
        Elbow Across Chest:
        Not essential, but can be used under certain circumstances.
        Strangle pressure not enhanced by moving arm when you have the right angle.
        Cons: Bring arm across chest enables an escape where opponent grips your right knee with both hands, forcing it to the floor. and separating the legs.
        Bringing arm across also makes it more difficult to switch to joint lock (e.g. platform armbar). Also doesn't stop them from posturing up (can hug the wrist in your armpit to do this).
        Pros: Arm on your chest makes full Juji more accessible.
        
        Advantageous Angle:
        If you are square with opponent, their shoulder will be within your lock. Place left calf on opponent's right shoulder and turn off the shoulder to get to a perpendicular angle. Right calf should be over opponent's neck and perpendicular with spine. This also removes need for greater leg length to lock figure 4.
        
        Eliminate the Shoulder:
        Make sure opponent's right shoulder is not in the lock. Right knee should be in front of opponent's right shoulder. Circumference of lock should be about the width of your forearm.
        
        Knee Position of strangle leg:
        Crook of the knee of the strangle leg should be below your opponent's left ear. Aim for your hamstring to be around left carotid artery.
        Left knee should wedge behind opponent's head.
        Lock feet above opponent's head not around right shoulder. This makes it difficult to posture.
        
        Support Leg at Tricep:
        Left support leg should be curling around opponent's right tricep instead of right lat. This helps control posture. You can achieve this by throwing both legs forward away from opponent's head.

        Opponent tries to posture up
        
        Knee Pull:
        Bring your knees to your chest to break posture.
        Never Reach with your arms to break posture.
        
        Collar Tie:
        Control posture with left collar tie. Make sure grip is at least wrist deep.
        
        Shin Grip:
        Control posture by gripping your right shin with left hand.
        
        Opponent makes it difficult to get scoop grip on leg
        
        Switch Scoop to Far Leg:
        Instead of scooping near left leg, obtain outside scoop with right hand on outside of opponent's far right knee. This will also provide proper angle.
        It's not possible for opponent to pull both legs back without entirely losing base
        
        Switch Scoop to Near Arm:
        If both legs not accessible, scoop grip opponent's left arm. This will also provide proper angle.
        
        Opponent turns to put pressure and open lock
        
        Scoop Grip Near Leg:
        Inside Scoop with right arm on opponent's near left leg to deny angle or ability to posture up
        
        Opponent stands while figure 4 triangle in place.
- - - - Clamp Guard to Trap Omote Sankaku:
        Most effective guard for entering triangles from supine position. Good example of knee based penetration. An upper body version of ashi garami applied to shoulder instead of hips.
        Bring right knee in front of far left shoulder. This makes it difficult for opponent to push in. Bring left knee on top on opponent's near right shoulder. This makes it difficult for opponent to pull out. Should have scissoring force where right knee pushes away and left knee pull to your chest. Not a squeezing but scissoring action. Provides good control over opponent's head and right arm. Left elbow goes over opponent's right elbow making it difficult to pull out.
        Once in clamp guard, hip escape and create an advantageous perpendicular angle by touching your left heel to your right knee. You should be looking at opponent's right ear. Can now extract bottom right foot to enter trap triangle.
