Leg-Control Variation from Omoplata
Marcelo shares with Josh & Ryan an anecdote about an outlier submission finish he witnessed by a teammate: When caught in an Omoplata, one must be mindful of their base when attempting to stand up with posture for an escape; your opponent may be able to enlace your far-leg if you step too close to their figure-four around your arm. Even worse yet, they may try to use this hook to pull your leg within reach of theirs hands, allowing them to yank your leg directly over your own head. This kind of outcome can be particularly dangerous when facing against opponent's with long legs and/or if you lack hip mobility.
