The omoplata is a powerful shoulder submission from guard, but getting into position is only half the battle. The small details in your control, angle, and finish can make the difference between getting the tap and giving your opponent a way out.

Professor Matthew Jones breaks down how to set up an omoplata from guard, control the collar and sleeve, rotate into position, and keep your opponent’s arm where you need it. He also shows how to adjust your position and use the arm as a lever to finish the shoulder submission.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
