Do you love the Omoplata? isn’t it one of the coolest submissions in Jiu Jitsu? Powerful, technical…huge points for degree of difficulty and a personal feeling of achievement you get when you pull off an Omoplata with ease and style. But, yes, it isn’t the easiest. Certainly not on a trained opponent. Here are some hacks and ideas that will massively change your Omoplata game. Give them a try on the mat and let me know how you go…

Are you thinking about joining a Jiu Jitsu Academy? you have been fascinated with the sport for some time and watched all the YouTube channels to gain some understanding of this awesome sport. But you might still have that nagging doubt…particularly if you don’t have a martial art background…how do I behave? How do I address the head instructor, what are the appropriate signs of respect? it can be a minefield. But it doesn’t need to be. In this video, I discuss some basics that should place any beginner or NEW Jiu Jitsu practitioner in a good position.

“To be an effective submission artist, the trick is to balance positional control with submission attempts. If the balance is skewed in favour of either submissions or control, your results will diminish. While it is easy to tell beginners that they should focus on position rather than submissions, for the intermediate and advanced grappler, finding the balance is the key” -Tom Davey

The back sweep is fantastic to execute and very frustrating when it is being done against you. But with this little trick, and it really is easy, you are not going to be bothered with the back sweep anymore. In fact, you will love it and turn it into a pass. Just watch this video and see how it is done. Try it on the mats and let me know how you go…

We recently did a video on getting the Omoplata from full guard – check it out here:

https://goo.gl/GjU3eL

In this video, I discuss getting the Omoplata from half guard. The great part of this move is that it is unexpected. And we use this element to our advantage. But don’t forget to use the shoulder sandwich. Very important. Check out the video. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how it goes…

“What makes a blue belt? Attendance, mental toughness, discipline, solid fundamentals, self-improvement and rolling ability of course, however, I only measure this in terms of how much YOU have progressed from day 1, not who you can tap out. As a coach, I actually don’t give much of a hoot about that, to be honest” -Tom Davey

Getting the Omoplata is so much fun. It is such a cool and effective technique. But getting it…is not as easy. It’s even harder the night that it was taught at class. But there, like all things in Jiu-Jitsu, are a few tricks that you can use to make sure you get the Omoplata every time! Watch this video as I take my class over the details of getting the Omoplata from closed guard. Give it a try on the mat and let me know how you go.
