Omoplata Finish

Hey guys! We've had some omoplata discussion over the past few months in a few different threads. This is the way I've been finishing mine over the past 10 months and my finish percentage has gone WAY up. Let me know your thoughts. It's definitely different from the traditional way and also from 10p way. Works great for gi and no-gi.

Thanks so much Jon! :) I'm going to drill this the next chance I get. Do you do anything differently for no gi?

I like it! Nice Details.

Ha, Gerbil is super legit. Loved reading his trip to Brazil stuff on sherdog.

Nice! Thanks for posting!

I reach up from jiu claw with the opposite arm like that sometimes, that's the move that popped my rib when I was training for ADCC 2005. It's a great position but it puts alot of strain on my ribs because of the the twist of the torso, my ribs are crazy weak. I really like the scoot out from that position, good stuff :)

I like it

Very nice. Thanks for posting.

Interesting

Nice variation going try try this asap and mess with it I also like the way u have the quick option of the BJ armbar there to.

Mr. Helton, could I trouble you to make a no gi video? I've only trained no gi so I have no instinct on how to adapt all those grips to no gi. I'm thinking, c cup the ankle instead of gripping the pant sleeve? Overhook and grab the hip bone rather than grab the belt?

The biggest I do different for no-gi is I don't wear a gi. ;) No man, practically the same. The grip he uses are not crucial. Just control at the hip with the far arm.

I can't make technique vids per 10p rules. You nailed it on the head though man. It's not rocket science, so don't try to over think it. Be careful with c cupping the ankle as you never want your arm between their legs. Just "chalk" at the knee or ank le and definitely grab the hip bone.

I haven't noticed any extra strain on my ribs. I'll try to pay attention to that next time I'm going live with it. You might just be a weakling though. :)

nice. Seems like it would be easier to sit up this way than the normal route, just by looking.
