The omoplata can be a dangerous submission if you don’t know how to escape it, and when done right, it can ruin a person’s shoulder. Of course, though, many BJJ practitioners can easily roll or slip right out of this submission, so the omoplata is often considered a “transition submission” instead of a move that can actually end a match.
But just like with everything else in jiu-jitsu, even the counter to a technique has its own counter, and Jonathan Thomas is here to demonstrate. In this video, he shows how to beat common defenses to the omoplata, giving you the knowledge you need to make this a submission you can use to actually, you know, submit people. Take a look!
