Michael Liera Jr. is one of the great young competitors of the new generation. He has won the World Championship and Pan Ams at blue, purple and brown belt, and the European Championship at black belt. He has trained at the University with Saulo and Xande, and is currently training at ATOS, under Andre Galvao. Michael will be showing us some of his favorite techniques from the De La Riva guard. The first is an omoplata. Michael begins by setting up the De La Riva with the ankle and collar grip, and his foot in the biceps. When his opponent tries to push his De La Riva hook, Michael opens his leg, causing his opponent's arm to follow. He switches his hand from the ankle to the triceps, and kicks his leg while pulling the arm to his hip. He now places his foot on the hip, pinches his knees and locks the omoplata, where can either finish or sweep his opponent.
