Today a look at “reverse omoplata”, a technique more often seen in judo as a turnover into a pin…but which can be VERY EFFECTIVE in a BJJ/jiu-jitsu context as well. In judo groundwork (newaza) has a short time limit compared to jiu-jitsu. As a result it’s common to find people taking a strong defensive turtle position, especially after a failed throw. The reverse omoplata uses a crucifix-like position with the legs to control a single arm, and then to exert a powerful rotation on the shoulder. The result is a lot like a kimura, usually prompting either a submission from our partner or a turnover to a bottom position. In jiu-jitsu we often land on top with an option to either pin and move to another submission, or to continue the rotation in order to finish the shoulder lock. Our entry today focuses on grips to create space to fit a leg in at the elbow, then some details on how to trap the arm and generate movement into the finish. ⭐ ➡️ MY BIO (by John Danaher): === Like this video?
