A Basic Introduction to the Tarikoplata

[@joshuaquesada5455]

I'm one of the small guys in the heavyweight division. This technique really saved me countless times against giants . Thank you for discovering and sharing this. I hope one day I'll get to meet you.

[@TarikBJJ]

Haha that's good to hear! My pleasure. Thank you for watching! Have a great day! I hope so as well! 😄🙌🏼

[@mitchell3210123]

Thanks for the new move man! I hit this in my quarter final match this past weekend!

[@TarikBJJ]

Sweet! Thanks for watching man! Make sure to tag me if you upload it 🙌🏼

[@rolfigomez3039]

Oss, the most powerful submission Of the decade !!!

[@TarikBJJ]

Osss! Obrigado!

[@magnus1861]

This is the most awesome submission inn BJJ! So cool that you invented it!

[@TarikBJJ]

Thank you!! :D

[@logancharipar8218]

I have been using this for the last 2-3 years & it has helped me finish larger opponents in the gym. I weigh around 135 and finishing the kimura on training partners 30+ lbs is a tall task. Thank you very much, Tarik.

[@TarikBJJ]

I'm so happy to hear that! My pleasure man! 🙌😄💯

[@logancharipar8218]

@@TarikBJJ My brother & I got a bet whoever hits it first in a competition, has to buy the other a steak dinner! Hope to see you at the Pyramid this June.

[@ZymixProductions]

Subscribed in a heartbeat. Saw you on Bernardo Faria's channel...........oss!

[@TarikBJJ]

Thank you so much! 😄🙌🏼💯 Oss! Have a great weekend!

[@brosechannel]

This is cool, came here after seeing Bernardo Faria's video. Having some trouble breaking Kimura defense so looking forward to trying this as an alternative

[@TarikBJJ]

Nice man! Welcome and tell me how it goes :D

[@MsAbcg]

my favorite submission, 4 stripe brown belt still getting big kicks out of this 3 years later!

[@TarikBJJ]

Happy to hear that! 😄 Thank you! 🔥🙌

[@kareemyasser88]

Thanks man for the details, I’m a kimura player myself and I’ve been trying to hit your signature move, I think I know what is missing! Oss all the way from Egypt!!!

[@TarikBJJ]

Thank you man! 🙌🏼😄 Keep me posted on how it goes!

[@kareemyasser88]

Very high submission percentage, it’s slowly becoming my favorite technique!!

[@BigHustler4ever]

Very good technique ! Could you please show how to get the Tarikoplata from the bottom ? And also could you show your details on the ankle lock ! Thanks

[@TarikBJJ]

Thank you! I really appreciate it! If you would like to support me, I've already made two instructionals with BJJ Fanatics covering both the Tarikoplata and the belly down ankle lock 😄 it will definitely be subjects I will bring up later in this channel 👍🏼

[@Mika-zg7pq]

I did exactly what you showed there few weeks ago, but! I could not finish, hand was 🔒 too tight couldn't get proper leverage. But one day! 💪

[@TarikBJJ]

Hey Mika! That's awesome! What might have happened is that your crook of the knee slided to far up on his forearm. To reestablish the wrist control, I turn back in towards my opponents legs and adjust before I proceed to go for the finish 🙌🏼😄

[@Marialovesdandysworld]

Thank you, I really needed this.

[@TarikBJJ]

Thanks man! 😄🙌🏼

[@TaylorDouglasMusic]

Such a cool move! Putting it on my to-do list :)

[@TarikBJJ]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching! 😄🙏🏼

[@emilbodzioch9133]

I'm very grateful for share this technique. Is this legal on blue belt in in IBJJF?

[@TarikBJJ]

Thank you for watching! Yes it is 😄 Though it might be illegal for juveniles and kids depending if they look at it as a omoplata.

[@emilbodzioch9133]

@@TarikBJJ So can't wait for next competition😏

[@lucasmoeller8772]

Is there a name for the position you got the kimura from?

[@TarikBJJ]

A typical set up would be from side control and stepping over their head into a top kimura position. 🙌🏼😄

[@PeterJames143]

Thank you

[@TarikBJJ]

Thank you!

[@philthh]

Do you ever transition into inside sankaku if they catch your leg between theirs when you throw your leg over? I’ve been doing that when it happens to me but I’m just wondering if that’s viable in higher levels

[@TarikBJJ]

For sure! :D Though, I personally prefer to either fight to free the trapped leg or roll forward for a kimura (this would also depend on the other legs positioning).

[@philthh]

@@TarikBJJ makes sense thanks!

[@rafayhussain1151]

How much do you train to be a bjj athlete?

[@TarikBJJ]

I usually train jiu jitsu 9 times a week and strength 3 times a week. But it depends on the season and it's been different with the pandemic situation. But that's not necessarily what works for you. You will have to find out what works best and gives you the most progress 😄

[@bomberitodelacuarta]

Hi Bro. Thanks for the knowleges. I do Tarikoplata at sparring for one year: it works pretty nice :) BUT some referees said me that they would disqualify me if i do that move as blue beld, because sometimes the opponents are tapping because of biceps slicers :( How do you feel about this?

[@TarikBJJ]

Hey bro! Thanks for watching! That's awesome! To be honest I haven't had any experience with getting any warnings from referees (even as a blue belt). Not that I can talk for all referees, but I've never seen anyone get disqualified for it. On the other hand it is probably dependent on how you finish the technique, if you lock your legs like a triangle it might feel more like a biceps slicer for your opponent. 😄 Hope this helps! Have a good one!

[@bomberitodelacuarta]

@@TarikBJJ Thanks for the answer! I will drill that move again :)

Great!

Thanks!

[@jg1000c]

Ever run into someone holding the back of their knee with a straight arm making it difficult to bend the arm and step over?

[@TarikBJJ]

Sure thing! You can try armbar instead or go to mount.
