Marcelo shows a throw and submits a defending opponent from Full-Mount: It is imperative to one's own safety when attempting a standing-throw to always commit fully and not enter into the movement half-heartedly; if you hesitate with your back exposed to your opponent, you may leave yourself vulnerable to attack or possibly injury. Decisively utilize your grips to off-balance your opponent as you spin and connect their hips to your lower back for the Major Hip-Toss (a.k.a Ogoshi). Take the Full-Mount Position (a.k.a. Tateshihogatame) upon landing with your opponent on the ground to begin setting up your finishing attack. If your opponent is wise to the idea of over-extending their arms, they may deprive you of an opportunity to attack their elbows with a traditional Arm-Lock (e.g. Udegatame, Jujigatame, et al.) by tucking their forearms tightly against their chest. When this occurs, place both palms against their top-most wrist and rely on your upper-body weight to help press their arm flat down on the mat. Wedge your cross-side elbow against their neck while securing a Figure-4 Lock around their arm while keeping their wrist pinned to the mat. Slide their trapped hand south against the mat to hyper-rotate their shoulder-joint for the Americana Shoulder-Lock (a.k.a. Paint-Brush, Bent-Armlock, Top Wrist-Lock, Udegarami, et al.) The 'Americana' is purportedly considered the namesake given by the legendary Rolls Gracie to denote the 'Turkey-Bar' Hammerlock used by American wrestler, Bob Anderson.
