I've been grappling sort of on and off for a while now, nothing formally though mainly just picking it up from different places (we did it at my old martial arts school several times, did it at the school I went to before that as well, and mainly just with friends).
Lately my friends and I started grappling again and I was letting them try to choke me out with a triangle from mount and after about 30 seconds I didn't pass out or anything. I felt the pressure in my head from all the blood(this is how a proper choke is supposed to feel right?) and they were telling me that I was turning red, but no unconciousness.
Now, from what I understand, a tight triangle choke should knock out the person in a couple seconds 4-10. What do you guys think was going wrong with the triangle? Were they just not putting enough pressure?
Any ideas would be appreciated. I know pictures would help, or seeing it yourself but I don't really have any atm.
