When it comes to playing the Closed Guard game, it’s super important to always be threatening your opponent with either submissions or sweeps (or both). And, well, one of the most unexpected sweep-submission combinations is the Omoplata Pendulum Sweep.

Master the OMOPLATA–the submission that can be your new favorite position.

- SWEEP them when they’re defending the SUBMISSION and SUBMIT them when they’re defending the SWEEP.
