In
this situation, I assume you know the Omoplata shoulder lock and most of the details that a
beginner/Intermediate student should already know. This is about setting the actual move up; it is
about how to improve the lock once you achieve the position.

This is the third in a series of 'advanced' moves for JIU-JITSU.NET that I am releasing as 'never
before published'. Once again; I can't promise you haven't seen this anywhere before, but I haven't.
This move is slightly risky, so you must pay close attention to the control I use with the gi collar to
prevent my opponent from countering by taking my back as I do this move.

Once again, I can't guarantee that you have not seen this move anywhere before. I can say, that
chances are, you haven't. I have never seen this move published anywhere before and am proud to be
the first to do it!
This technique was first published in my third book: Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, The Master Text (link) and
was shown to me by my old teacher. I was specifically told not to put this move in any book, but I
guess that's one of the reasons he's my "old" teacher, isn't it? Since then, I've added some details and
set ups that I've chosen to share with you here.

Gi Technique
2. I grab the hand that was hooking my leg with my right arm as I
continue to push his face.
Submission Grappling
I was really happy to have my friend Rob around to help me
demonstrate this technique. Rob was around 240 pounds at the
time of this photo shoot and I was about 185 pounds. The reason
Im happy about the weight difference is this: it gives me the
opportunity to demonstrate how this move does not involve as
much strength as you think.
1. I find myself in the choke, I then look up, looking up takes a
lot of pressure off the front of my neck.
2. I then place my left hand over his back and my right arm
under his leg. It is important to note my base and posture. I am
pretty straight and looking up, my knees are bent and my base is
wide. The fact that his arm is over my back puts weight over my
shoulders and makes him easier to lift.
Vale Tudo
1. Notice how I control his right arm with my legs so he can not
escape easily or strike from the bottom. While his arm is
trapped, he cannot defend punches to the face with that hand,
this can be devastating and actually end the fight by itself, but I
will count on him being skilled and strong.
3. I press his left wrist to the floor with my left hand, keeping
my right arm under his left.
