The omoplata is perhaps one of the most adaptable submissions in the art of Jiu-Jitsu. It doesn’t take a great deal of flexibility to apply and is a great attack for all body types. In the following video technique demonstration you will see a basic set up for the omoplata submission as well as a variation commonly used when your opponent attempts to fight the downwards pressure. Enjoy!

“Rosendo All the way, Amazing place”
From: Bryan, 9/7/2010
“Rosendo makes learning BJJ fun and it’s a great workout too.”
From: Chaz4483
“I’ve been training under Professor Diaz for 5 years and from day number ! he has treated me with the up most respect. I’ve been to many bjj schools in the Philadelphia area but no one compares to Rosendo Diaz. Every one in each and everyone of his schools are great people to train with, everyone is a serious hard worker no clowning around when it’s time to train and that comes from our coach Professor Diaz. No egos , no superstars everyone is treated equally like family which is why i choose to train under Professor Diaz. Thank you for everything you have done and good luck… best wishes”
From: John, 8/20/2010
“Rosendo is the most patient and well rounded instructor in the Philadelphia area. There are schools that are probably more fast paced and aggressive but BJJ is a very difficult art to master. There are so many details that if you forget even a single one you will lose.
With Rosendo he makes sure you know every angle, every option, and every possible reaction from your opponent. He is exactly what one would expect from a Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt. If you want to learn and have a blast at the same time this is the school for you.”
From: moptop240man
“After searching around with alot of schools I can honestly say that Rosendo Diaz is an Amazing Instructor. I am in awe at his ability as a practitioner in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but also at how he effortlessly guides you through every detail. FANTASTIC SCHOOL!!!!!!”
From: Lejohnt
“This Academy offers world class BJJ !”
It was an honor and a incredible learning experience having the opportunity to train with Master Ricardo De La Riva on Saturday during a small group class held at 127bjj in Manayunk, PA. Master De La Riva gave us an amazing amount of detail about the techniques he uses and he spent a lot of time answering the group’s questions.
Thanks to Master De La Riva and Vicinte Junior for making the trip out to Philadelphia.
