Manuel Tavares (6th degree black belt Gracie Humaita)
Master Manuel begins with a good grip to attack Victor's arm
Victor knows his arm is in trouble and begins to posture out of the submission attempt.
Victor manages to save his arm from the armbar attempt but has exposed his left arm to the oma plata.
Manuel figure-fours his legs to trap Victor's left arm and grabs Victor's belt to prevent him from rolling out of the submission.
Manuel grips Victor's collar and sits up to finish the oma plata submission!
Technique for September
Victor guides Cecilia through a BJJ sequence starting with a guard pass straight to knee on belly and finishing with an armbar:
Cecilia controls Paulo's legs from his open guard
Cecilia passes around Paulo's legs straight to knee-on-belly
Cecilia controls Paulo's arm at the tricep and pushes his face to the mat and begins to spin around towards Paulo's head.
She begins to pivot around, moving her left hand from Paulo's head to the mat so she can spin her hips under his arm.
Paulo tries to escape by rolling to his knees.
Cecilia counters by placing her left foot between Paulo's legs
She finishes the submission by hooking Paulo’s head with her right leg, controlling the wrist and driving her hips down.
