//03—Safety notes
01

TAP URGENCY: MODERATE—brabo positioning creates tight collar choke mechanics

02

Release immediately when partner taps; the grip configuration locks tightly

03

Apply pressure gradually from the collar grip entry position

04

This submission works with gi fabric mechanics; ensure proper collar control first

05

Partner defensive options are limited once grip is established; defend early
