Escape Omoplata to Russian Cowboy

[Ross Davidson]

Just a little escape into attacks that I've been able to pull off a few times. After I did it today I figured I'd throw that out there to my 10P family.

Basically exactly like the title says. Opponent gets you in Jiu Claw, very quickly you throw your leg over to reverse mount, before they have good control, and posture up to free your arm. Once here you're in perfect position for Russian Cowboy attacks. Got a knee bar today

Gotta be quick with the step over. Anytime I get to Jiu Claw I throw my arm up to block the hip and keep that pimp arm strong.

I'm assuming you are limp arming to get the arm free. Just note you really need to have your deep hook or double deep hook prior to getting to the Russian Cowboy position, its extremely hard to get it once you are up there. If you don't have it, its near impossible to control your opponents hips. Its like trying to get a deep hook after you get to spider web.

I'd like to see a video of you hitting it while rolling live.

Its been awhile since Ive watched the instructional but are you saying get the deep hook before stepping into that reverse mount (which is the Russian Cowboy right?)?

[Chris Herzog]

Yup, its more as you are in transition. If you wait too long double deep hook is the only option. If you wait really long, they will just flatten their legs and you will have to bail.


Heads up I uploaded a revised version a few weeks ago.

OOOOO heading to youtube now

Let me start by saying that this little series started off totally unscripted and just basically as a desperate attempt to avoid being omo'ed; just so happened to put me in reverse mount. I guess you might need some flexibility in your arm. Either that or the leverage gained from being in mount is enough to pry open the legs. Or perhaps both. Once the arm is free though it seems very easy to get the deep hook in for the leg-chest stabbing. The first time I consciously attacked the RC from this route I went for double deep hook and tried a knee compression but failed, I think. Today was the second time I've been able to mindfully attack this route (after it happened the first time the know-how stuck in my mind for the next time; it's not very often I get omo'ed, usually at the 10P Hotbox I go to — go figure) and initially went for a double deep hook but quickly decided to switch to a single deep hook. Once I had control of the heel it seemed pretty easy sliding into the knee bar. The speed at which I've gotten the deep hook is quite quick. I'm sure though that this is easily defensible for people such as yourselves, with high knowledge and practice of JJ/Sambo. I'll definitely try to get some footage of it in the future, but like I said, it's not very often I get in the position to be able to put this into action.
