The bottom Buggy holder exchanges the arm-and-leg loop for a leg triangle around the neck and one arm, preserving the bottom actor through a continuous control transition.
Begin as the bottom player holding the same-side arm-and-leg Buggy loop beneath side control. Unload the choke before changing the leg and arm connections.
Recover the legs in front through the available space while keeping the knee movement comfortable. Exchange the Buggy loop for a leg triangle containing the opponent’s neck and one arm. Count the transition only once Triangle Control/Bottom is secured; the actor remains the bottom holder. If ordinary guard settles before the triangle exists, use a separate valid guard entry. Losing the loop can also leave Side Control/Bottom.
Practice cooperatively with controlled movement. Stop at any tap, verbal signal, or distress; release all joint or neck pressure before changing direction. Do not force a trapped knee, shoulder, or neck to preserve the route.
