Omoplata

Executing an Omoplata from the De La Riva guard with same side grips involves several key steps:

1. Maintain a tight grip with one hand on the opponent's sleeve and keep it close to your hips to break their posture.
2. Use the De La Riva hook effectively to manage the opponent's free hand, preventing them from pushing your leg away.
3. Push the opponent with your other leg while keeping the De La Riva hook tight. Turn your knee inward to twist their leg, which naturally opens their arm.
4. Slide your shin across their body to transition into the Omoplata position.
5. Switch grips to grab their belt, preventing them from executing a front roll to escape.
6. Secure the Omoplata submission, ensuring you do not release the sleeve grip until you are close enough to switch to the belt grip.
7. If the opponent attempts a front roll while you're applying the Omoplata, maintain the sleeve grip to transition into an armbar.
