George McGinnis, owner of York Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Red Lion, presents a new series, called Technique of the Week. George is a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Tatu Taborda in Scranton. Here's George's description of the video:
This is our first "Technique of the week" video. Here you will see Coach Brad Souders and myself demonstrating what we call "Leg Lasso" and we show in detail how to transition into an 'Omoplata'. I have played with similar positions like this before, but this particular variation was shown to us by Renaldo (De La Riva black belt). Note: Some people don't really push for the "Leg Lasso" position much due to their fear of either losing the position or being leg locked. If you control your opponents sleeves and maintain space, it would honestly be extremely difficult for them to leg lock you once you have fully committed to the position...
