Use a rubber guard to get your opponent stuck in an omoplata.

Vinny Magalhaes: The four-time world BJJ champion, 205lb fighter and instructor reveales his best no-gi techniques with Casey Milliken.

1) With Casey in his guard, Vinny postures up to grab him and stop him from attacking. 

2) Vinny holds onto Casey and drags him to the mat where he can begin his attack.

3) By bringing one leg across the back of Casey's neck and holding it with his opposite arm, Vinny can trap him.

4) Vinny pushes Casey’s head to one side to give himself more room to maneuver his foot.

5) With the head clear, Vinny can slide his foot over his head and lock Casey’s arm down.  

6) Keeping hold of Casey’s arm, Vinny moves his hips almost 180 degrees to face the same way as Casey. 

7) Vinny sits up, crossing and extending his legs to keep Casey and his arm in one place. 

8) To finish, Vinny swings his feet out and leans forward to put pressure on the shoulder and submit.
