I like to pull guard and usually try to sweep to mount and go from there... this adds a nice dimension. I'll "deffo" try it. Thanks as always Coach Tom!

Thanks! One detail: Arm over the waist or you get to watch him summersault away.

your vids are excellent mate..Where in Australia are you?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thanks for the kind feedback. My full time academy is in Adelaide, Australia. Hopefully you get a chance to swing by one day for a visit. Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom

[@Ureyeuh]

This is a very good demonstration for the omoplata if you have never learned it. When I was taught this, my instructor told our partners to posture up, so part of the omoplata involved breaking the posture through a cuff grab & cross-body pull, while the closed guard assisted by pulling the opponents upper body through the posture break. This demonstration takes that step out of it, so it makes it much more beginner friendly. I do think a video showing the breaking of posture for the omoplata would also be beneficial. Thank you for sharing this!!

[@TristenIngram]

Carlos Machado Gi, hell yea

[@damirnikic2560]

Nice 👍

[@bisonmma-kickboxing2511]

Relying on the gi so much

[@VictorHugoVideos]

I've never seen anybody who's inside my closed guard with his hands like that. They usually will put their elbows inside my thighs, making a little harder doing the omoplata that the coach is teaching in this video.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

If someone puts elbows inside both (beginner style) try the closed guard Roger Gracie style tilt sweep. IN general, you must either open their elbow manually (quite easy with two hands) or wait for the open elbow to attack! Happy rolling (-: Tom Davey

[@VictorHugoVideos]

@@TheGrapplingAcademy Thanks for the reply! After watching the video i've slept thinking on ways to force the opponent putting his hands on the mat :-)

An omoplata on rye?

[@chrismarkcum1033]

The shoulder sandwich

[@sebastiansuarez8384]

The Grappling Academy an effective submission but I couldn't help notice that you didn't finish the omoplata. In relation to the finish, what is/are the pressure point(s) (muscle affected) when finishing the omoplata? One last question, on a side note, am I the only who thinks this submission is better suited for taller people?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

It is a shoulder lock. All bodytypes work. Happy omoplatas (-: Tom Davey

is jean jeaques machado going to visit you in australia?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

I have trained with Professor Jean Jacques several times and he is awesome! I wasn't able to bring him down to Adelaide this year because I had his brother down this past weekend so it was just too close for the timing to work. Don't miss a chance to train with him though! (-: Coach Tom

[@Aceinthehole1179]

Coach Tom can you hip up & out when there posture is straight up? Do they have to be low & stalling? Thanks buddy

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

You can enter omoplatas from a number of ways, likewise with the finishes. All closed guard attacks work better when an opponent is lower in posture rather than straight up in general. (-: Coach Tom Davey

[@taymerelane]

I liked this timing it video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHnEl6yNetF8nNk&ab_channel=TheGrapplersGuidebyJasonScully

[@lyaelyo]

Teach to block the back to after omoplata 👍

[@hparas1]

yes but what happens if the opponent does not let go of the bottom leg (left leg)? i face a wrestler all the time and he pins the other leg down, preventing the full rotation for the omaplata.

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Good question. There are plenty of cheeky counters when faced with this situation however 9 times out of 10, simply pushing their head away with your free foot does the job as ypou can leg press him away with the full leverage of his head and neck. You can also attack the kimura when faced with this dilemma. Keep hitting the omoplata in training and you will find your wrestler rolling partner will be a perfect crucible for your omoplata prowess! Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom

[@ronque23]

The Grappling Academy I heard that if the opponent pins the bottom leg, you can still get the Kimura effect sub with the Marceloplata

[@hparas1]

thank you Tom!

[@chromaxd26]

Search Marceloplata

[@Anonymous501]

Coach Tom now looks like he could take this Coach Tom and smoosh his face into the ground. Jacked!

[@bobnice3044]

The catch finish of this move is completing the omoplata then reach round with the hands and cup his chin then reap it like starting a chain saw, ie cranking his neck.

[@HandsomeBastard]

You showed how to get to it but not what to do once you are in that final position. Is that it, your leg over his arm, kinda pushing him down... then what ?

[@matthewschutze6744]

nice video. please show us how to finish the omoplata and special details. it seems like an extremely low % technique :(

[@dimecanal]

me personaly i like to use it more for sweeps or to go for other atacks from there it really works for me in that regard

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Hi Matthew, will make an omoplata finishing hacks video for you guys because they are definitely high percentage if attacked correctly. As NATLUS replied below, worst case, you usually will get a sweep. Woohoo (-: Coach Tom

[@sebastiansuarez8384]

The Grappling Academy thanks for the reply.

[@SergioArroyoSailing]

Nice tricks! Will try 😊 but shoes on the mat ?😳

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Thanks Sergio. I always allow wrestling shoes on the mats if students have foot injuries/cuts, etc. They don't mark much and are handy for take down class or nursing pesky toe injuries. Happy training (-: Coach Tom

[@alecsandoval1214]

This is probably a dumb question but what do you do if the guy on top tries to prevent you from bringing the left leg out? Easy sweep?

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Usually I would clear my left leg first!

[@alanholmes8775]

It’s a clamp grip

How are you supposed to do this when somebody is putting their whole weight in you?

Move those hips and redirect their energy!

[@javierparedes1898]

Does this work in no gi?

[@af4396]

Yes, everything works in No-Gi except for submissions that require collars (which are a lot of submissions). You just have to grab joints and natural crevasses of the body instead of fabric.
