Ignoring This Submission is Killing Your Jiu Jitsu

  • The omoplata is one of the easiest submissions to set up in jiu jitsu, but many people ignore it because they feel it is difficult to finish. This video I go through my favorite finishes and sequences from the position. It involves matrix, crab ride, transitions to other submissions and more. Also the omoplata can be set up from so many different open guards ( De La Riva, Butterfly, Collar Sleeve, Spider Guard, X Guard )

    I literally just screwed up one of my matches on Sunday in the open weight by shooting up a triangle instead of an omaplata because I am not super comfortable with the omoplata. I'm gonna get so much use out of this video and make sure that by the next competition I have a killer omoplata game. Between this and the huge jump in performance I've seen after adding the stuff you showed in your collar sleeve video, I have SO much to drill, but its going to really help me. Thank you man, your videos are helping this blue belt shake off the covid rust!

    Your videos are real eye openers for me. Have been watching them non stop for the last few weeks. I'm leaving the hardest ones for later like the crab ride. Trying to focus on collar sleeve, improving my overall guard strategy and experimenting a bit with the matrix.

    • @JonThomasBJJ
      @JonThomasBJJ  2 роки тому

      Yeah the foundational stuff is the key bolo crab ride is awesome but you need to build off a strong double sleeve and collar sleeve

  • @henriquefrancisco300

    This came at the perfect moment as I'm getting hooked onto omoplatas. Saw how one instructor on a different channel uses it all the time to get into other things but he is shorter and has thicker legs then me. Seeing you do it with longer legs and these adjustments so that the opponent doesn't completely escape, give me more drive. Many thanks

    Nice video! the omoplata during training is always one of My favourites, but i am never able to hit it. it always seems to.me that there are much better things to do from this positions. But maybe it is just the Best second option if something goes wrong with the armbar or triangle !!! I love the cat haha

  • @DAisaka09
    @DAisaka09 2 роки тому +2

    it has to have been one of the most common submissions at the lighter weight classes since 2012? Viewing it as a position like the back or mount rather than a submission really opened it up for me.

    • @JonThomasBJJ
      @JonThomasBJJ  2 роки тому +2

      For sure there is so many transitions from it, it’s more of a position than just a submission. Plus it’s so easy to get to.
