The omoplata is highly underestimated submission/sweep in Jiu-Jitsu because not many people know the fine details which make it so effective.
There are many ways to set up an omoplata. One of the most common ways is from closed guard. At the IBJJF Dallas Open, 10th planet black belt Jeremiah Vance had an amazing sequence going from closed guard to rubber guard to omoplata to a move they call Kung Fu and with a sick finish.

The omoplata is the submission that might have been missing in your arsenal of attacks. It is one of those secret weapons that are worth working on. Since many people don’t do them a lot of people are not familiar with the mechanics of the position and you can take advantage of this.
