Ricardo Cavalcanti

Two weeks ago, GRACIEMAG.com posted a fight of the 6th Copa Luta pela Vida. In the event, the black belt Paulo César Ceguim dazed Fabiano Soares with a wrist lock on side control.

Now our GMA in Vegas Ricardo Cavalcanti (Carlson Gracie) shows two submissions also starting from the side, stuff you saw it works.

In the first one, he attacks with an americana lock and, before the opponent’s right defense, he applies a wrist lock. After, the professor affiliated to our Association uses the lapel and chokes Rodrigo Artilheiro.

As a present to our readers, Rubens sent in a position that is much more useful and effective than any submission out there, since you can use it at any time—and from white belt onward. Ladies and gentlemen, maintaining control over an opponent and making it to side-control Cobrinha style.

The trick is to pull the collar and deftly moving your hip. Check it out, and great training in 2012!
