Omoplata Escape to Back Take (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates an escape from the omoplata and a transition to a back take. He starts in a position where the opponent is attempting to secure an omoplata. To escape, Lucas controls the opponent's hips and grips the back of their belt, pulling them up to break their leverage. He then steps over the opponent's leg and transitions to their back, securing a back take. Lucas also emphasizes the importance of staying tight to the opponent and preventing them from creating space or turning towards you.
