Chain finish · Closed Guard
A shoulder lock between an armbar and an omoplata: the arm stays slightly bent and the shoulder locks, not the elbow. It comes when they drive forward into the omoplata and block it as your shin comes in front of their face. Pinch your knees around their arm first so it cannot slide out, post both palms on the mat away from them and use their forward pressure to switch your hips. Sit as for an armbar with their arm under your armpit, slide the bottom knee toward their elbow and lean back slowly over 5 to 7 seconds. If the arm straightens, the straight armbar is right there; if they roll forward, follow with the omoplata sweep. Apply very slowly and let them tap early.
From the omoplata, partner drives forward on a signal; you switch to the monoplata, 6 each side, very slowly.
A shoulder lock: apply it very slowly and let the partner tap early.
