INSIGHT

Omoplata as a System

  • The omoplata is not just a submission, but a system for sweeping and advancing position.
  • Think of it like the kimura trap, using the threat of submission to create opportunities.
ADVICE

Finishing the Omoplata

  • To finish the omoplata as a submission, break the opponent's posture and flatten them out.
  • Control their elbow and have answers for their rolls, like re-rolling or transitioning to a crucifix.
ADVICE

Low-Commitment Submission

  • The omoplata is a low-commitment submission with a high chance of a positive outcome.
  • It's often easier to enter than armbars or triangles, making it a valuable tool.
