After 2 decades of research, experimentation and development my latest instructional, Omoplata 2.0, is now available!

This is the ultimate guide to the omoplata, and it’s available as a 5 disk DVD set, as an online streaming instructional, and in app format as well.

This resource gives you an entire step-by-step system for the omoplata.

You’ll learn entries into the omoplata from every position, how to finish bigger and stronger people with it, how to seamlessly transition into sweeps and other submissions, and exactly how to completely shut down all of your opponent’s omoplata escapes and counters.

The omoplata is the most versatile submission in jiu-jitsu and the Swiss army knife of grappling.

At it’s core it’s is a super effective submission that has been used many times at the highest levels of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, no gi submission grappling and even in MMA to finish tough, resisting opponents.

The cool thing is that the omoplata it’s also one of the most powerful sweeps in the jiu-jitsu repertoire. Many black belts find that it’s the most effective and reliable way to reverse the position and get to the top against high level opponents.

Finally it’s also an amazing setup for many other other submissions and transitions. So long as you know what the other guy is likely to do and have pre-prepared answers for those responses you’ll always be a step ahead of him.
