First we did pulling the opponent to the triangle from the knees. The entry isn't important, we were mainly working on the mechanics of the triangle.
Throw your right leg over his shoulder, grab your right shin with your left hand and never let go. Spin your body so your right ear is next to his knee. To spin, you can hook your right arm inside his leg, or you can put your left foot in his hip. Once you have gotten the angle, squeeze your knees together and pull your heels to your butt, shrinking the space in the triangle. At the end, both your knees should be facing you. They shouldn't be facing in different directions.
Entry to triangle from overhook: Left arm overhooks, right hand pushes his bicep as you move your hips away and get your right shin in his bicep. Put your foot in his bicep, then throw your leg over. Grab your shin with your left hand and finish as before.
First level defense to the triangle: When it isn't figure foured yet, and he hasn't grabbed his shin yet, you can do the leg on shoulder pass. Look up, thrust your chest forward, and drive forward with your hips down and your head up. If his leg is on your left shoulder, then with your left hand, grab across his left shoulder and put your forearm down on his throat. Remember to drive forward, and don't try to turn too early. You don't turn around his legs, you drive forward until he willingly takes his legs off.
You do want to be on your feet so you can drive forward powerfully, and so your weight is on him. But you do NOT want to be standing with your head down and butt up. That is the worst possible position for the triangle. Bryce says, you want to be the pitcher, not the catcher.
This defense is why when you're doing the triangle, you should always grab your shin immediately from the bottom and hold onto it.
Second level defense for triangle: When he has the figure four and shin grab, grab his knee with both hands and pull it away from your neck. Turn and pin it to the ground with your weight, and turn away so your back is facing him. It will break his legs apart.
Defending the armbar:
1st line of defense, just don't let him drag your arm across his body. When you feel him go for it, just drop your elbow down to the ground with your weight.
2nd line of defense, don't let him put his leg over your face. Block it with your other arm.
3rd line of defense, right before he puts his leg over your face, push it down with your other arm. Pull your arm out with short jerky motions.
