Baratoplata

Chain finish · Closed Guard

A shoulder lock from the omoplata: the shoulder is rotated with your leg hooking it in front of their body instead of behind it. It comes when they turn in to face you in the omoplata with the arm bent. Take a reverse kimura grip on that wrist and pin it into their belly at the navel: it makes the loop your arm goes through. Keep the top leg heavy on the neck, hip out and bring the other knee between their arm and body, the knee against their face so they cannot turn further. Thread your arm behind their elbow to your own thigh; the elbow is trapped between your legs pointing at your chin. Turn out to the side as for a triangle and push the wrist outward slowly. If they straighten the arm, take the armbar; if they posture up, return to the omoplata.

How to do it

  1. In the omoplata they turn in to face you with the arm bent: take a reverse kimura grip on that wrist.
  2. Push the wrist into their belly at the level of the navel and keep it pinned there.
  3. Keep the top leg heavy on their neck, hip out and bring the other knee between their arm and body, the knee against their face.
  4. Thread your arm behind their elbow and put the palm on your own thigh; their elbow is trapped between your legs, pointing at your chin.
  5. Turn your body out to the side, as for a triangle, and push their wrist outward slowly until the shoulder locks and they tap.

Key details

  • The wrist pinned to their belly makes the loop your arm goes through.
  • Their elbow is trapped between your legs and points at your chin.
  • Your leg hooks the shoulder in front of the body; in the omoplata it hooks from behind.
  • The knee against their face stops them from turning in to defend.
  • To finish, step your free foot on their hip, move your hips out past their leg and turn; against a flexible shoulder, cup their thigh and keep turning, or tip them onto their back first and scoot your hips away.

Common mistakes

  • Wrapping the leg around the neck without the knee inside. — They pull the hand out and posture. — Bring the knee between their arm and body first.
  • Letting the wrist come off their belly. — The loop opens and there is nothing to lock. — Keep the wrist pinned at the navel until your palm is on your thigh.
  • Cranking fast. — The shoulder tears before they can tap. — Turn out and move the wrist slowly; stop at the tap.

How to drill it

From closed guard with a 2-on-1: reverse kimura grip, knee inside, arm through, 6 each side, slowly.

Safety

A shoulder lock that comes on suddenly: the partner taps early, you apply slowly. It looks like a biceps slicer but attacks the shoulder; check the event rules.
