Omaplata from Cross Guard

master daniel taught this today. i thought it was too advanced initially but is surprisingly easy. the version taught to me is slightly different from this video in that my non-kicking leg just stays to his side and does not go on uke's hip as shown in this demo. the rest is identical. notice that mylegs do not have to be crossed (or locked) to finish the plata. it is important to raise my hips off the ground to finish.
