Narrative:
In a tailwheel airplane; upon touchdown; I was overly aggressive on braking before the aircraft was completely down on the wheels. As a result; the wheels locked up and when the aircraft completely settled on the wheels; the aircraft flipped forward over the nose onto the top. Too aggressive braking and unable to keep the tail down with control input resulting in a flip over.
