三角絞め
Also known as [i]Sankaku-Jime[/i] in [[judo]], it is a type of [[figure_four_leglock|figure-four]] [[choke hold]] that [[strangling|strangles]] the opponent by encircling the opponent's neck and one arm with the legs in a configuration similar to the shape of a triangle. The technique is a type of lateral vascular restraint that constricts the blood flow from the carotid arteries to the brain.

In professional wrestling, it is used by several wrestlers, such as [[All Elite Wrestling]] wrestlers [[Daniel Bryan|Bryan Danielson]] and Kyle O'Reilly, and [[WWE]] wrestler Pete Dunne/Butch. [[Ultimate Fighting Championship]] mixed martial artist Nate Diaz infamously won a match using the triangle choke, where he insulted his opponent by showing [[middle finger|middle fingers]] and [[flexing]] his muscles while locking the hold. Danielson adopted Diaz' flexing taunt for his own version of the triangle choke.
