Trigger positions make it easy for you to know when it’s time to attack in jiu-jitsu. From https://www.grapplearts.com/omoplata here’s an explanation of the trigger position concept and examples including the armbar, the triangle choke, and the omoplata armlock.

The post The ‘Sitting on Shoulder’ Position, the Missing Link for Mastering the Omoplata in Jiu-Jitsu appeared first on jitseasy.

I have been using the Omoplata for more than 2 decades and it has always served me well. Sometimes I would finish the submission itself, but even if that didn’t work the attempt usually led to other submissions, sweeps, and reversals.

In the last few years my percentage for finishing the Omoplata submission itself has shot up. Why? It’s because I started placing a much larger emphasis on breaking my opponent’s alignment before trying to apply the armlock itself.

In the first video you’ll see how I used to do it. I would go to the finish even if my opponent’s knees were still under him (giving him base) and if his spine was still in good biomechanical position (posture). Sometimes it worked but most of the time my opponent would roll out which would result in a scramble. Usually I would get to the top in that scramble which was great, but I could’ve been doing it better.

Now as soon as I sit up my main focus instantly becomes breaking down his base and his posture. If he’s sprawled out with his spine twisted then his ability to wriggle or roll out is much curtailed and it’s much, much easier to finish him.

There are a number of different ways to accomplish this alignment break. I currently use 3 or 4 main methods vs the turtle, but there are also Omoplata entries that take you directly to this position of broken alignment.

TLDR: Break his alignment, finish way more submissions.

The post The Biggest Change I've Made to My Omoplata Armlock Submission to Get More Finishes appeared first on jitseasy.

Omoplata 2.0 is the brand new instructional by Stephan Kesting. More info at https://www.grapplearts.com/omoplata

After 2 decades of research, experimentation and development my latest instructional, Omoplata 2.0, is now available!

This is the ultimate guide to the omoplata, and it’s available as a 5 disk DVD set, as an online streaming instructional, and in app format as well.

This resource gives you an entire step-by-step system for the omoplata.

You’ll learn entries into the omoplata from every position, how to finish bigger and stronger people with it, how to seamlessly transition into sweeps and other submissions, and exactly how to completely shut down all of your opponent’s omoplata escapes and counters.

The omoplata is the most versatile submission in jiu-jitsu and the Swiss army knife of grappling.

At it’s core it’s is a super effective submission that has been used many times at the highest levels of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, no gi submission grappling and even in MMA to finish tough, resisting opponents.

The cool thing is that the omoplata it’s also one of the most powerful sweeps in the jiu-jitsu repertoire. Many black belts find that it’s the most effective and reliable way to reverse the position and get to the top against high level opponents.

Finally it’s also an amazing setup for many other other submissions and transitions. So long as you know what the other guy is likely to do and have pre-prepared answers for those responses you’ll always be a step ahead of him.

The key is understanding this technique as a system and not as a single isolated submission

In 5 DVDs and 7 volumes of material you’ll learn my complete system for making this attack a cornerstone of your game.

This instructional contains more than 182 techniques, including…

Over 41 effective setups and entries for the omoplata from every position

15 counters to the omoplata

70 counters and followups to use when our opponent tries to escape

Techniques that work with and without the gi

The strategies that connect all these moves together and make them easy to remember

Drills and developmental exercises to make the techniques natural and instinctive

And much more…

This video has had a lot of requests, so I finally broke down and made it. Here I show some Rubber Guard fundamentals, set-ups, common mistakes, control features and submission opportunities from basic to advanced. This is a sampling/overview of Rubber Guard, which is a versatile and robust position with uses ranging from sport to mma to self defense.

There are a ton of great resources out there on this topic, mostly from the 10th Planet System. But this guard system has spread far and wide for decades now, and continually evolves. Hope you like my brief overview here.

In this video I show a Oma Plata escape that leads into Back Mount that you can use in BJJ. I recently hit this in one of our rolling videos from a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training session we had and I received a question about how I used the technique.

In the video of our rolling, which is clipped into the video, I got caught in a triangle choke position. Then after escaping the triangle my student switched to an oma plata submission. I countered this by hopping over and then getting into the back mount position.

If you’ve followed me for anytime then you know my Brazilian Jiujitsu style is all about getting to the back. I’m always trying to find a way to make it to back mount because I find it to be one of the best position for my game personally.

I hope you enjoy the escape / counter and hopefully it will help you with your own training.
