Last-Ditch Kick Escape
Use this when the triangle is fully locked, you can't posture, and you're about to go unconscious. It creates a scramble by kicking their leg structure apart while controlling their arm. The escape works by pulling their arm while explosively extending your leg, which breaks their leg lock and gives you a chance to come up on top.
