![]() Many people instinctively want to lean their body weight forward to rotate the defender’s arm. Viewed from the top, the legs are in the shape of an “S”, which allows the maximum amount of weight to be on the shoulder joint and the best foundation to prevent the defender from affecting the attacker’s balance. As you can see from the image, the attacker is niether sitting cross-legged nor do they have a foot planted flat on the mat. Many new BJJ practitioners have trouble with their leg positioning in the Omoplata. The good news is that they typically roll into Side Mount, which is a great control position for the attacker. Failure to do this will almost always result in the defender escaping the Omoplata position. ![]() When transitioning into the Omoplata, you must throw your arm over the defender’s hip as early as possible in order to prevent the defender from rolling out of the attack.
