Rubber Guard defense????????????????

[Chris Herzog]

I like to go to omoplata all the time, but everyone at my gym acts like it's useless. Why do so many people treat omoplata like it's a bad thing to do?

They haven't put the reps in.

I guess it's a lot easier to say it's useless than to practice and take a chance losing position while you're polishing it.

Omo happens to be my finisher pretty much 50%+ or more of the time when I'm going through the basic RG path in my gym for the past 2.5 months. I think I hit 1 carni in there too. I'd really love to get more gogoplatas and reapers, but idk if I can get it if people are keeping their chin tucked.

Try this when people tuck their chin to defend the gogo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y80Y9240BMk . Nastiest face crush, people will stop tucking their chin.

Ty for posting this Mojo. It still looks like he's getting the shin under the chin for the Frodoplata, or can you still do this without the shinbone under the chin?

[Mojoplata]

He is getting it under the chin, but if they keep their chin tucked it becomes a face crush. It's the nastiest crush/crank I've ever felt so use responsibly.

I'll crank it at 25% power then move up slowly from there, and only if they have a mouth piece during training. I've never used a face crush submission before or been put in so I have no idea how painful it is.

Ive been working and working and working at my gym to try to get people to fear the omo again. Most people I roll with know what my go to is, and I can still usually get it. Once in the jiu claw I have my own little way of getting the finish and its been working SUPER well for me.
