The Omoplata is often one of those elusive submissions. Your opponents see it coming and try to elude getting submitted by either staying extremely tight with their elbows or by “slipping out” once you shoot for it. Now, the second problem has to do with how mobile your hips are, how well (speed and technique) you shoot that leg underneath their shoulder, and how fast you are in feeding their arm to your hip…
One of the biggest problems to finishing the Omoplata appears when the opponent’s hand moves to the other side – leaving it loose and making the submission ineffective.
Here’s how to prevent that from happening.
