Can solo training at home with a grappling dummy actually improve your jiu-jitsu when you’re too busy to make it to class? Get my ‘I Love Jiu-Jitsu’ here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KNJJB8R on Amazon.

This rant was also an episode of my podcast (called ‘The Strenuous Life Podcast’) and you can see a list of the published episodes here: https://www.grapplearts.com/podcasts

Thank you and good luck with your training!

I recently got asked several times to do something from X Guard. So in today’s video I’m going to cover a sneaky BJJ Oma Plata setup from X Guard that they wont see coming.

I’ll assume if you’re watching this that you can already get to X Guard during your BJJ training or rolling.

Once there the big thing you need to focus on is continually off balancing your training partner or opponent.

This stops them from being able to counter your position. Instead they are working on maintaining their balance. This is a pretty constant principle for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

While off balance I show the Oma Plata setup. So the idea is, while they are focused on their balance they won’t be able to see or defend the Oma Plata setup.

The Oma Plata is by itself a strong submission attempt. But in addition to this, it’s also a powerful position that transitions to lots of other options like Guard sweeps and other submissions.

So if you’re someone who uses X Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu then I hope this setup is useful for you during rolling or competitions.

Talk to you next time!
