Carni
Submission
The carni is 10th Planet's modified omoplata: the standard omoplata's leg-over-shoulder control is upgraded by sliding your high leg under the opponent's throat while your hands control their far side, so their posture and near shoulder are locked by one structure. It converts stalled omoplatas — especially against opponents who posture or start to roll — into a tighter shoulder lock with the neck pressure doing half the work.
Quick Reference
Key principles
- · The high leg under the throat is the signature: it kills posture and adds a choke-like discomfort that makes the shoulder rotation land harder.
- · Far-side control (their far arm or lat) stops the forward roll that erases ordinary omoplatas.
- · It is a finishing upgrade, not an entry of its own — you arrive there from omoplata control when the standard finish stalls.
- · The finish is the omoplata's rotation with the throat-line leg as an extra fulcrum; small hip turns produce large shoulder torque.
- · If they still muscle upward, the trapped-throat structure feeds sweeps and back exposure rather than losing the exchange.
Execution
- 1 From omoplata control with their arm locked at your hip line, feel them posture or prepare to roll.
- 2 Slide your high leg forward until the shin or instep sits under their throat.
- 3 Take far-side control — the far arm, wrist, or lat — to close the roll-through exit.
- 4 Rotate your hips as in the standard omoplata finish, letting the throat-line leg multiply the torque.
- 5 If they power up anyway, use the structure to sweep or expose the back rather than releasing.
Common mistakes
- × Keeping the leg on the shoulder line as in a normal omoplata and never sliding it under the throat — the position then adds nothing.
- × Forgetting far-side control and watching them roll through exactly as they would against the standard omoplata.
- × Cranking the neck for its own sake: the throat leg is posture control, and the submission must finish at the shoulder.
