I own a dojo and invite my brother to help me test advanced students. He says "Bro, your students have turned into quite the lil grapplers." I think I owe much of that to you Stephan. Keep up the great work.

@wrxbungle I don't actually have an academy. I teach once in a while at friend's schools, as well as teaching online and via my DVDs. That allows me to concentrate on my own training. Not the traditional 'solution' I know, but it works for me...
@tp0721 This was from a three day seminar I taught last year. I fillmed the whole thing and put it out onto DVD as the Advanced Techniques and Tactics series
@ConicalRamirez It's not so much the specific entry as it is the concept of leading with the knee rather than the foot. You can apply this concept to ANY omo plata entry
stephan kesting you're the outstanding bjj master I have ever watched...Thanks for your tututorials. I wish I were one of your pupils. I'd train in your academy if you were in my country. I like taekwondo, but BJJ became my beloved sport...I wish I could learn BJJ.
All these dudes talking trash about bjj, using saying its "gay", in all reality if you in your mind find it gay, your probably questioning your sexuality. Bjj is a martial art, and from taking muay boran, boxing, and little bit of wrestling. I can tell you straight up Bjj is the most complex, its a extremely fast paced chest game, which not only do you need to knw the physics of the body, also you have to take into account every one of your and your opponents limbs.
is it better to hook the nearest leg with your foot or the outiside leg?? it looks at though it might be harder for him to push your foot of with his free hand ( for the outside leg)
Hi Stephan As i saw in your vid, you did a omo plata counter to the double-underhook pass. I rly liked that move, cauz i'm working on my omo plata game (i'm a withe belt with more or less 2 years of experience). So i'd adore to see the move with some set-ups/ variations. Could you please make a detailed vid about it?
Stephan, I think "Omoplata" it's written in one word. Just like the bone. The one wich breaks in the technique. I know there are variations, like Baratoplata, but the original name from this technique came from the bone. Just hoping to help.
Hey man! How's it going? I've been checking out your videos on UA-cam and I've been benefiting a lot from them. However, I'm facing a problem I come from a striking background in martial arts so I have no problem in striking but I'm a bit confused regarding what style of grappling and locking martial art I should choose. Here's the problem, I did for the past 3 summers traditional jujitsu and found it real fun I'm good on the ground in passing and submitting people. However, now I'm doing MMA so we don't use a GI and we start on our knees in BJJ which I found very awkward and difficult to start a fight. Do you have any tips or videos on how to start a BJJ fight from when we are on our knees rather than to do a take-down from the standing position. Speaking of take-downs, If i aim at improving my take-down skills which is better Judo or Wrestling ?? Should I practice with or without a GI for more practical results in MMA and in a real situation?? Thank you for your time, Regards Elias!!!
Elias Semaan Wrestling is higher percentage than judo, for example, consider the majority of judo throws are very legal in wrestling, however they really only rarely seen. Not to bash judo, throws and trips are effective, but if you want help taking the fight to the ground freestyle/folkstyle wrestling is unmatched
Stephen I know from other videos that you're "anti" Rubber Guard for people that can't do circus leg bending. The movements in this video seem safe enough. Thoughts on the safety of each move shown here?
Ha.. I would love to hyper extend that guys arm til he screams and then ask him if he feels less "gay" then me for not being able to handle himself.. Bjj is the real deal gentlemen.
Stephan dont like to make short and objective videos. He does these long and boring videos where he explains few details that could be said in much less time.
Maybe because its unscripted? And as it is a video you can skip things? Thinking about things is a helpful thing, can make things less boring. *doesn't btw.
Well I enjoy the fact that they are long drawn out. I can rewind and re watch the technical details.As a beginer in BJJ I've been told I try to do things too fast, so this helps a little.

It's the little details like starting with the knee that helps everyday people learn the setups for basic submissions, good work!
Very good tutorial Stephan, my omoplata just got a lot better thanks to this.
Stephan is my favorite teacher! He is so humble about his skill and I want to train with him.

I love it Stephan. The knee's a nice touch, and I haven't seen the ankle get hooked quite like that before. Very neat.

After 2 years now I can really get this.
Good!
Thanks for the pushing-head tip! Wrong timing has been messing up my omoplatas lately.
Stephan, you seem pretty pro..I personally think you should have your own academy.
thank you for every video and lesson !!
stephan this is very good. shame you're not in london!
there are so many options in this .. thanks!

stephen, you've got a lot of knowledge, looking at your videos. what's your history in bjj/jiu-jitsu etc? great vids btw :)
thank you for this technique, i like the wristlock while locking his bodymovement.
Great Explanation Stephan, As Always.
This tutorial helped me hit an omoplata today 👍🏾
ive been looking for this video for a looooong time
Awesome Tips Stephan. Thanks!!
Great demonstration. Thank you for this
at 4:47, the guy at the back did a backward roll to get his towel
I love your videos and the way you teach. Especially this one, I can definitely use this next time I'm in class. Keep up the great work! *bows*
Great vid. Trying this at training tomorrow.
i like what he did at 9:06 i make that mistake a lot and that's a great way to stop them from passing that way
i think maybe this move is like the beginning of the rubber guard, possibly for people who might not be flexible to reach their own ankle
Excellent explanation!!! awesome vid.

Hi, Sir
If he stretch or kick his right leg ( 6:11) then he can do somersault and he can escape from Omo plata
Thank you Sir
Midhun jith
He cant because his leg is trapped

The omoplata means shoulder blade.
cool move btw @ 6.43, never seen that before personally.
Nice video
One question: What about leading with the foot but hugging your shin, would that work?

@waldomarek yeah im wondering what that move is called? i didnt quite catch what he said...
Stephen I know from other videos that you're "anti" Rubber Guard for people that can't do circus leg bending. The movements in this video seem safe enough. Thoughts on the safety of each move shown here?
Un énorme merci, thanks a lot.
Wow i really want to attend your class :D
@StephanKesting couldn't you simply wrap one of your arms along his lower back/waist area to keep him from rolling out?
Very late, but usually they'll be rolling before you even come up to reach for their waist.
StephanKesting is the man
really nice! wow!
Like the knee trap gonna try it today shhhh, thanks.
Stephan, where is your academy?
I learned while in omoplata to put your arm over their back to prevent them rolling
***** What hook?
computerhoofd
the hook at 5:55 ....did you watch the whole thing?
That guy at the end of the video must have had some daaannk feet for them to let him be on the mats with shoes on
stephan do u ever train with the rubber guard?
hey man, ur video is great ;)
whats with the old dude and the trainers ? 8:00
Anybody that i know can't do a somersault so when i get them in the oma plata thier done
Rudolpn Bookwalter But sooner or later you'll roll with somebody who can. Practice proper technique and count nobody out :)
I'm determined to use the omoplata in a street fight.
Please don't.
jui jitsu is like one of those metal link puzzles... and i cant figure it out...
nice
Octavio Sousa would be proud
WoW!
stephan**
you still dont have any acadmy
coole sache hab ich aber schonmal wo anders gesehen
haha, why is the wrist lock cheesy? i'd say do whatever works, as long as you're not grabbing balls or poking eyes :P
Carni all day ;)
Ha.. I would love to hyper extend that guys arm til he screams and then ask him if he feels less "gay" then me for not being able to handle himself.. Bjj is the real deal gentlemen.
