Ur set ups and tactics work for me everytime , i just started training but was able to submit 1-month practicioner even though he went full force on me , thank u so much . My favourite bjj online coach so far
I like to pull guard and usually try to sweep to mount and go from there... this adds a nice dimension. I'll "deffo" try it. Thanks as always Coach Tom!
I've never seen anybody who's inside my closed guard with his hands like that. They usually will put their elbows inside my thighs, making a little harder doing the omoplata that the coach is teaching in this video.
If someone puts elbows inside both (beginner style) try the closed guard Roger Gracie style tilt sweep. IN general, you must either open their elbow manually (quite easy with two hands) or wait for the open elbow to attack! Happy rolling (-: Tom Davey
@@TheGrapplingAcademy Thanks for the reply! After watching the video i've slept thinking on ways to force the opponent putting his hands on the mat :-)
The Grappling Academy an effective submission but I couldn't help notice that you didn't finish the omoplata. In relation to the finish, what is/are the pressure point(s) (muscle affected) when finishing the omoplata? One last question, on a side note, am I the only who thinks this submission is better suited for taller people?
Thanks for the kind feedback. My full time academy is in Adelaide, Australia. Hopefully you get a chance to swing by one day for a visit. Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom
I've seen that shoulder sand which in this old jiu jitsu book by Renzo and Danaher - but it was accompanied by an arm bar. Good to know it's got multiple uses
I just heard on Joe Rogan's podcast how his buddy Tate (BJJ Blackbelt) held some giant in an Omoplata after pulling guard in a self defense situation. He tells it here: th-cam.com/video/FyiT-z33gU8/w-d-xo.html
yes but what happens if the opponent does not let go of the bottom leg (left leg)? i face a wrestler all the time and he pins the other leg down, preventing the full rotation for the omaplata.
Good question. There are plenty of cheeky counters when faced with this situation however 9 times out of 10, simply pushing their head away with your free foot does the job as ypou can leg press him away with the full leverage of his head and neck. You can also attack the kimura when faced with this dilemma. Keep hitting the omoplata in training and you will find your wrestler rolling partner will be a perfect crucible for your omoplata prowess! Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom
I have trained with Professor Jean Jacques several times and he is awesome! I wasn't able to bring him down to Adelaide this year because I had his brother down this past weekend so it was just too close for the timing to work. Don't miss a chance to train with him though! (-: Coach Tom
Hi Matthew, will make an omoplata finishing hacks video for you guys because they are definitely high percentage if attacked correctly. As NATLUS replied below, worst case, you usually will get a sweep. Woohoo (-: Coach Tom
This is a very good demonstration for the omoplata if you have never learned it. When I was taught this, my instructor told our partners to posture up, so part of the omoplata involved breaking the posture through a cuff grab & cross-body pull, while the closed guard assisted by pulling the opponents upper body through the posture break. This demonstration takes that step out of it, so it makes it much more beginner friendly. I do think a video showing the breaking of posture for the omoplata would also be beneficial. Thank you for sharing this!!
The catch finish of this move is completing the omoplata then reach round with the hands and cup his chin then reap it like starting a chain saw, ie cranking his neck.
You can enter omoplatas from a number of ways, likewise with the finishes. All closed guard attacks work better when an opponent is lower in posture rather than straight up in general. (-: Coach Tom Davey
I would love to! Rarotonga has been my favourite global travel getaway over the last 10 years so I might have to stay on the plane for another 300km next time and get out to Tahiti! Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom Davey
Thanks Sergio. I always allow wrestling shoes on the mats if students have foot injuries/cuts, etc. They don't mark much and are handy for take down class or nursing pesky toe injuries. Happy training (-: Coach Tom
Yes, everything works in No-Gi except for submissions that require collars (which are a lot of submissions). You just have to grab joints and natural crevasses of the body instead of fabric.
You showed how to get to it but not what to do once you are in that final position. Is that it, your leg over his arm, kinda pushing him down... then what ?
Whenever I look up a technique that I’m trying to refine and get better at, I always look for your guys’ video first haha

I've been doing bjj 8 years. I've been watching your videos for a while.You blew my mind in like 15 seconds with this one. Ossss!
Its at 3:00 min. And awesome details.. thabk you for this share..
Thanks!
One detail: Arm over the waist or you get to watch him summersault away.
Good catch, I saw that too.
or you could bait the roll into the Lever of gods.
@@MrWar2244 Lever of gods :DDD
@@MrWar2244 sorry, I'm a white belt, that "lever of god" thing is actually a thing?
@@lucianomosca8853 Yeah it's a thing.

Coach F×××××n Tom, I love your videos, Thank you bud !!!! Your the man !!!
I always step on their posture doing this. Keeps them from raising back up before I set it

It is a shoulder lock. All bodytypes work. Happy omoplatas (-: Tom Davey
@@TheGrapplingAcademy thanks, I appreciate the reply.
Bridge shrimp pinch ooma twist
Got one for the first time today after watching this video
Coach Tom now looks like he could take this Coach Tom and smoosh his face into the ground. Jacked!
An omoplata on rye?
Hope you’re doing well!
Thanks for making this video🙏🏼
u r a good teacher, i know nothing about BJJ but i can follow all your steps
This was the second submission i learned how to get into.
your vids are excellent mate..Where in Australia are you?
Thanks for the kind feedback. My full time academy is in Adelaide, Australia. Hopefully you get a chance to swing by one day for a visit. Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom
I'm learning that now in class and I'm having trouble with it. This was a great demonstration.
Thank you sir!
Works effortlessly! Nice

Carlos Machado Gi, hell yea
This guy talks way too much...
Yes. Now lets try it on my brother
Thanks for this simple and useful entry to omoplata
My pleasure I hope you enjoy doing more omoplatas on the mats. I know they are one of my favourite moves. Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom

The Grappling Academy I heard that if the opponent pins the bottom leg, you can still get the Kimura effect sub with the Marceloplata
thank you Tom!
Search Marceloplata
is jean jeaques machado going to visit you in australia?

How are you supposed to do this when somebody is putting their whole weight in you?
Move those hips and redirect their energy!
nice video. please show us how to finish the omoplata and special details. it seems like an extremely low % technique :(
me personaly i like to use it more for sweeps or to go for other atacks from there it really works for me in that regard

Relying on the gi so much
Thanks for the video coach. I think you forgot to add annotations in the video though.
Thanks, Jitsu Lee - Annotations now added
Awesome as always.
Nice
Thank you.

Teach to block the back to after omoplata 👍
Love your videos sir
Great to hear you enjoy the channel! Have fun training (-: Coach Tom
Nice 👍
Yet another superbly explained training video by Tom.
It’s a clamp grip
Coach Tom can you hip up & out when there posture is straight up? Do they have to be low & stalling? Thanks buddy

Nice tricks! Will try 😊 but shoes on the mat ?😳
Thanks Sergio. I always allow wrestling shoes on the mats if students have foot injuries/cuts, etc. They don't mark much and are handy for take down class or nursing pesky toe injuries. Happy training (-: Coach Tom
you don't even finish the omaplata...
This is probably a dumb question but what do you do if the guy on top tries to prevent you from bringing the left leg out? Easy sweep?
Usually I would clear my left leg first!
Does this work in no gi?
Yes, everything works in No-Gi except for submissions that require collars (which are a lot of submissions). You just have to grab joints and natural crevasses of the body instead of fabric.
You showed how to get to it but not what to do once you are in that final position. Is that it, your leg over his arm, kinda pushing him down... then what ?
