Guard: Brabo Variation

If my partner is in my closed guard, I use my left hand to open the same side lapel. I bring the lapel over B's back and pass it to my right hand. My right hand has a palm down grip and I use the grip to control B's posture. My main objective is to now get B's right arm across my body to finish the choke. This can be setup by using my left arm to hook B's right arm on my shoulder and go for a straight arm lock. When B swivels their arm to escape, I can push the arm across and finish the choke by pulling down on the lapel.

If I cannot generate enough force with my arm from my closed guard I can reach around B's back with my left arm and start going towards the back. Once I am in an almost inverted position, I post my forehead on the mat and push the arm.
