Having said that, I don't feel threatened because there are certain elements that need to be there for the omoplata to happen and I don't feel that, at any one particular point, ALL the elements are present:<br /><br />1. they have control of your wrist<br />2. their leg is past the inside of your elbow (against your upper arm)<br />3. their foot is free to move along your back towards your same side ear as the arm they're attacking<br />4. their hips are free to move and bring their head next to your feet instead of being right in front of you.<br /><br />Look at this video from MGinaction and notice how Marcelo has all these elements in place. <a href="http://www.mginaction.com/VideoDetails.aspx?VideoId=11849" rel="nofollow">MGinaction</a>Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059413891102112937.post-81265709451618942272012-10-04T10:00:04.181+01:002012-10-04T10:00:04.181+01:00How susceptible are you to omoplatas?
