Omoplata sweep

A sweep from the omoplata when the finish isn't there. You sit up, wrap their waist and roll them over the trapped shoulder to come up on top.

Key steps

  1. Set the omoplata with their arm wrapped by your legs and your hips out.
  2. Come up to sitting and lay your arm across their back toward the far hip.
  3. Reach over to grab their far knee or hip so they can't post on it.
  4. Drive forward over the trapped shoulder to roll them onto their back.
  5. Come up on top in side control with their arm still trapped.

Key details

  • Controlling their hips as you sit up stops both the forward roll and the posture.
  • Use the sweep when they keep their shoulder low and the finish won't come.
