Double Drag | Straight Arm Lock

Transitioning from an omoplata attempt to a straight arm lock:

1. Begin by looking for an omoplata as the opponent's hand goes to the far side of your body.
2. If the opponent starts to pull away, switch from trying to internally rotate their arm to externally rotating it.
3. Change your grip from behind the elbow, as if opening a doorknob, and grab right above the elbow line.
4. Turn their arm upwards as much as possible while they try to escape by driving their shoulder down and in.
5. The straight arm lock and omoplata complement each other, as the opponent will try to escape one and fall into the other.
6. Before the opponent can roll their shoulder down, catch their arm and use your feet to find their hips and close your knees.
7. Chase the angle of the opponent's elbow, which may require adjusting your knees' position or inverting by lifting your hip.
8. Ensure your hip and the opponent's elbow are in the same line, regardless of the thumb's position.
9. Execute the straight arm lock by rolling and finding the correct angle to apply pressure on the arm.
