How to Play Omoplata

Having a good mental map in your mind of what basically responses to your opponent's defenses is something really important if you're going to play Omoplata. You have to be able to anticipate your partner's next move, and kind of get a general idea of what they're about to do before they do it. So any submission is completed by reading your partner fully through and understanding their ways of escaping and being able to block those escapes.
