"Hi, welcome back to Expert Village. This is Cesar and this is Sorai and we're going to go ahead and wrap things up with this double feature. First thing I'm going to show you is passing the guard. The second thing is thing called the "barber pole" submission leg lock. Alright, first thing, passing the guard. What I want to do is dig in my elbows here really nice and deep. Don't be gentle. This arm I'm going to keep over here to keep her from wrapping herself around me again. Alright, so I'm going to keep the arm right here. The leg, my leg, closest to the leg that I'm submitting right now. I'm going to go ahead and anchor it and put a lot of pressure. Alright? Pull your body in close. Alright. Just slide in there. The back foot that's not doing anything, this one right here, I want it to move over like this. You'll be making a figure four with your legs. Alright, and then pop that leg that was anchoring her other leg right in there and go into a side mount. Okay, take a look one more time. Elbows in, anchor with this arm, keep this one right here to keep her from putting you in the guard again. Leg closest to the one that's been anchored slides through. Keep your body close. This leg that's not doing anything, figure four, pop the anchored leg in and there you are. Alright, now the barber shop pole is going to go like this. It starts the same way. This time, the leg that's furthest away from the leg you're attacking is going to go through. So if I want to attack this leg, this one is going to go through like this. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a left shoulder roll, much like that. Now when I do that though, when I do that, I'm going to go ahead and try to catch this foot right here. Just like this. Not actually the leg, just the foot, the ankle if you will. And you're going to go with it. So, grab; now, this leg, the left leg will stay exactly where it was while the other one is going to wrap around her to keep her from coming up. This leg will serve as a block to keep her from escaping this. Now, there you have the leg right here. What you want to do is put it underneath the armpit just like this. You're going to move back, up with your hip. And that's the barber shop pole submission leg lock. Well, it's been fun. My name is Cesar Lazcano, again and this Sorai Enriquez. Sorai tell us a little bit about yourself. Well, I'm in high school. I'm 16 and I'm just trying to get through school and do karate on the side. And she's a very good student actually. Again, I'm a National competitor in Judo. I'm doing the Winter Nationals this year 2007. And hopefully, I'll do them again in 2008. I'm looking forward to one day maybe trying out for the Olympics. Seeing where it goes from there. I'm also interested in mixed Martial Arts. But, I like the back stage running of the things rather than actually competing in those kind of shows. But, who knows what the future holds. Again it was a true pleasure teaching you guys. Keep in mind Expert Village has many videos concerning Martial Arts and self defense. So, check them out. Hopefully we'll see each other again. Take care."
