Technique 4: Omo Plata to footlock

Omo Plata is a submission, a sweep, and a setup for other submissions and sweeps. Learn the details by owning the video, available on this site

	Stephan has his opponent in his guard and climbs his legs up until his left thigh is resting OVER his opponent's right shoulder. This is known as the "crooked", "climbing" or "high" guard.
	Stephan creates an attack opportunity by forcing his opponent's left arm backwards with both of his own arms.
	He now instantly switches to Omo Plata, triangling his legs, controlling the trapped arm and gripping his opponent's belt.
	The opponent tries to step over Stephan's head in an escape attempt. Stephan prevents the escape and makes him pay for trying by switching to a toehold submission (keeping his legs triangled to maintain control over his opponent).
