Marceloplata

Also known as Monoplata — the canonical term used on this site.

Training background: Variation name only — the Marceloplata is a specific monoplata variant trapping both arms, not a synonym for the monoplata

The monoplata uses a single-leg triangular configuration to attack the shoulder — one leg controls the far arm, the other creates rotation force. Related to the omoplata but distinct in entry.
