The next submission that we are going to work on is called the Omoplata. It feels to your partner much like a Kimura, but it is actually done with my legs instead of with my hands. But that is the theory you want to think about. You are going to make his arm do the exact same thing but you are going use your legs and your hips to do it instead of your arms to do it. So we are going in a guard, and a lot of people like to play this from the rubber guards, totally your preference, you can play it straight from regular guard. We are also going to show you a setup on how you will normally see it done.
Alright, I have to break my opponent's arms out, I have to push them off with my hips. When I do that, I like to control the elbows and keep them back because if they start coming forward, I am going to miss it when I am going to roll the leg over. We are going to show this from a few different angle and few different sides, so don't worry but pay attention to what this leg is doing to this arm.
When I brace that out, I am going to shrimp out as hard as I can because I got to throw this leg over his head, I am going to go from here and sit away. Now, see now his arm is chicken winged. I just switch my stance, and I sit up, be real careful, trying to do this with your partner. This is a very, very, tight shoulder lock. From a different angle, and we are here, I break this guard out. When I do this, I am going to control the arms and immediately I am shrimp out as hard as I can, out here.
I like to post the head to keep him from following me and get myself a little chance to get around. Now I throw this leg back, slowly sit up. If you need any help with this -- some people used to say, triangle your legs, figure 4 your legs. I have never really found a need for that. Biggest thing that you do need to worry about, keep this arm over his hips. If you don't do that, he is going to roll out of this that is the escape for the Omoplata. So you got to control this.
Alright, if you need some help with it. If the guy has got a really strong arm or for any reason it gets over here, you can't finish it, all you do is put your palm across his knuckles and point his fingers towards his head and you will get the wrist lock. Okay. If it is over here, you just want to take it, fingers towards his elbow and you will get the wristlock. This is the key, as soon as you land the Omoplata throw this arm over and grab as deep as you can that way he can't rollover.
One more time, our opponent is here, I break his arms away, I sit back, I post the head, this leg comes over. From here I am going to sit out as hard as I can, here. When I sit back, I am going to control the arm, notice this, this is keeping him from rolling. I sit up slowly and get the tap. Just dragging his arm close into his body, makes the shoulder tighter or I can use the wrist lock.
Okay other side, we are here, I break the guard open, I control biceps. I sit out and post the head, throwing the leg over. Immediately when I throw this leg over he knows what is coming. I just sit up and grab his waist hard. So I am here, I grab the waist immediately, change my stance lean forward, if I need to I even sit up a little bit or I take the wrist lock, okay.
One more time from another angle, go both ways, I break the guard open, break his arms off my hips, I pose the head and sit out, over. I sit up grabbing the hips. I don't want to do a dab roll. I switch my stance and sit up or take the wrist lock, okay. That is your Omoplata.
One of the most common ways you will see an Omoplata setup is off from the triangle choke. Alright. I am going to get my opponent into a triangle choke and one of the first ways that people learn to get out of the triangle is to reach back and grab their own waistline. That opens up this carotid artery and it really prevents the triangle choke, makes the triangle choke really hard to complete. But it puts him in position for Omoplata, okay.
So I have my opponent, I have got my opponent into a triangle choke. Before I get the choke in, he reaches around and grabs his own waist. That makes it very difficult for me to get this triangle choke but what I can do is use my hands again to post the head, and sit out and around into an Omoplata. In this case I just brace off him and sit up, or take the arm. Alright, going the other way.
We are here, I have got my opponent in a triangle, he reaches around, immediately push the head, sit down, sit up, grab the hips sitting up slowly, pushing down, okay. That is your Omoplata. That is an Omoplata straight from guard. It is also the Omoplata from the triangle choke, very, very powerful shoulder lock. Again out it to your opponent, it feels like a really, really instant Kimura but it is done with your legs not your arms. Practice out and have some fun with it.
