If your opponent pulls the attacking arm out, immediately shift to the omoplata by wrapping over to that side. It’s crucial to dig your right heel down which makes your position heavier and facilitates popping your hips up for the transition.

Swing the left leg wide to move into the omoplata position. Plant the foot on the mat, scoot back, and secure a power grip for the omoplata setup, preparing for the finish.

When the opponent pulls their elbow out, it’s important to quickly establish a grip, ideally at the shoulder. Use the right hand to apply pressure, pushing the opponent's wrist into the omoplata. Ensure the right heel is firmly placed to maintain heaviness, swing the left leg over the head, and position the toes.

Scoot back to adjust your position and secure a collar grip near the neck, closing up your elbow to solidify the omoplata position.
