3 Part Lesson — Marcelo creates openings despite sweaty, humid conditions: [I] Control your opponent's wrist with both hands or initiate 2on1 Control, dominating his wrist and triceps; yank his arm toward you to make him react strongly. When the opponent reels his arm backward, take the opening created near his legs by attacking with a Single Leg or Ankle Pick. [II] If your opponent stabilizes his base and hops back with his ankle in your hands, reel him back in, pulling him into a guard of your choice. Marcelo prefers to place his opponent into 1Leg X from this defended Ankle Pick. [III] Create tension with your wrist control; it is important that your opponent struggles to release his hand from your grips. The hard he needs to pull, the longer the window of opportunity you create will remain open for exploitation.
