Whats up man, I have played with that "reverse omoplata" for a while now.. I have hit it from crucifix, but it was against lower ranked/inexperienced partners.. its not really high percentage for me though.. its a lot of work to get their arm in the right position from the crucifix.. attacking this from the turtle is the highest percentage in my experience... I have also hit this from the top side Crucifix (arms trapped, but you're on top of them, instead of on their back..) .. Also, kind of irrelevent, but this is also called the Yadviga in Sambo..
