Spider Guard to Lasso to Omoplata Submission (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get the omoplata submission using the lasso. Lucas goes into detail on how to get the lasso without the opponent controlling the legs. He then shows two scenarios on the opponent’s reaction. If the opponent moves in, then he can get the de la riva with lasso. The scenario Lucas is looking for is when the opponent tries to move back. Lucas takes advantage of this and keeps his lasso grip and now grips the same side collar with his other hand. Lucas pulls the opponent in, and then releases the lasso side grip to use that hand to cup and pull the elbow in. As he pulls the elbow in, he slides his leg over to get to the omoplata. Lucas then explains the importance of controlling the back to prevent the opponent from escaping.
