Double Under Lapel | Shoulder Lock Grips

Executing a shoulder lock from the back involves securing double under grips on the collar, pulling down, and stepping up to sit down, ensuring the opponent cannot forward roll out. The goal is to stay attached and prevent escape by leaning to the side to open the opponent's elbow, creating space for the hook to enter.

1. While rolling to the corner, maintain the grip and attempt to insert the hook, anticipating the opponent's defense.
2. If the opponent stiff arms to block the hook, release the lapel and reach for the opposite lapel to attempt a choke.
3. In case the opponent tucks their chin to prevent the choke, hip escape to allow the leg to come up, trapping the opponent's foot if necessary.
4. Unable to choke, let go of the lapel, grab the shin, and adjust to create a figure-four lock with the knee in the pit of the opponent's arm.
5. Instead of going for a triangle, attack the shoulder by pulling the opponent's elbow across the body while staying on the side.
6. Extend the hips as if performing an armbar, but focus the pressure on the shoulder, keeping the chest down and staying attached to the opponent.

This technique emphasizes control and attachment throughout the movement, ensuring the opponent's hips are lifted and their ability to defend or escape is minimized. The transition from a choke attempt to a shoulder lock is seamless, utilizing the opponent's defensive reactions to set up the submission.
