localman Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 One of my students demonstrated a technique last weekend which he referred to as "omoplata". He said he learned in in another judo club whilst training in Canada. Does anyone have any experience with this technique? Especially, does it have a corresponding judo name, which MAs use it, and is it safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallgeese Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It's a staple position in BJJ. There is a sub from here, but more importantly it's a great set up for multiple attacks depending on the energy that your partner gives you. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Great fundamental move in BJJ. It's a rollng shoulder lock. Has multiple uses on top of being a submission in and of itself: All submissions are safe as long as the opponent remembers to tap.

MaxMarks Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's a fundamental BJJ move that flows with the arm bar and triangle choke from guard. It's a great move. It's harder to pull of than the arm bar and triangle but a necessary part of that triple threat from guard. It is as save as any grappling move. Just make sure they do the finish slowly and give their partner plenty of opportunity to tap as a lot of body weight is behind the lock.

localman Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 When is the omoplata taught? Is it a beginner technique or more advanced? If advanced, at what level is it taught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps1 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 When is the omoplata taught? Is it a beginner technique or more advanced? If advanced, at what level is it taught?It's a staple move that is taught early in training. Usually in the first few weeks, as they are taught cross choke, armbar, and triangle choke.
