Add to Favorites 784 Remove From Favorites 2328 days ago

Claudia is on top in her opponent's half guard, and because of her shoulder injury, she could not put a heavy cross face on her opponent.

If her opponent leaves her arm over Claudia's arm, Claudia raises her elbow up to the armpit, then swims her arm through and across the neck, where she can wrap it around the head and attack the Kata Gatame. If her opponent swims her arm under Claudia's arm, Claudia traps it with her elbow and grabs the wrist. From here, she can either attack the wrist lock, or make a Kimura grip and straighten the arm to submit with an arm lock.
