About this video

Executing an omoplata from the collar and sleeve guard:

  1. Start with your training partner on their knees. Stretch them out as if setting up for a triangle.
  2. Lift your hips and press your left knee down on their back while keeping your foot on their hip.
  3. Punch their hand into your back pocket and throw your leg over their back, locking a triangle over their shoulder.
  4. Immediately reach your left arm to their belt to maintain control and prevent them from posturing up.
  5. Squeeze your legs and bite your heels down to secure the position.
  6. Bring your knees and ankles together, then rock up to your butt by pulling your knees towards your chest and extending your legs.
  7. Post your hand on the mat, scoot your butt back, and weigh heavy on their shoulder with your legs.
  8. Scoot your hips out and pull them flat to their belly to limit their defensive options.
  9. Fold your legs to the outside, keeping their elbow trapped by squeezing your knees tightly.
  10. Reach for a palm-to-palm or S-grip around their shoulder, sit forward, and bring their hand towards the back of their head to finish the submission.
