Question for Chris Herzog or anyone who messes around w/ reverse omoplata

You are risking getting side choked tho (aka arm triangle)

You can actually do the same attack here, and should, by grabbing under the head rather than over and negate that risk.

It does and it's real funny to see that hesitation when they are passing. Then they start to panic and back out or at least make space to work another escape. There is a BUNCH of bottom side attack game. It's definitely not something you would want to pull side control for, BUT, it's nice to have some heat from bottom anywhere. :-)

I have been adding in the ginger snap into a series that usually starts with me applying the bicep slicer and either ends with me reguarding, attacking the reverse triangle, or attacking the ginger snap NoGi or switching to the X-Men guard in the gi. I also frequently attack the reverse triangle in the gi. While I don't think all of X-Men guard is impossible NoGi, I have not attempting to implement it yet.

I have a pretty strong arm triangle counter that has not failed me since I refined it a couple years ago, but I can definitely see the danger.

I've been hitting something similar from crucifix or rolling kimura when they defend the backtake, not exactly a reverse omoplata.

I usually attack the choke, then get this when they defend.

This is pretty similar, starts about a minute in

It is not exactly the reverse omoplata but I am seeing the possibility of setting one up using a gripping scheme similar to his in this instructional. I had seen the video prior, but watching it again is giving me some new ideas. Thanks for the share bud.
