While I was jogging I was thinking about what else I could do from that position (where his arm was trapped but I didn't have control of his body or wrist control really).
I'm gonna try to get in that position tonight and transition to a bicep slicer. Since his obvious concern is going to be the arm I'm going to give him his wrist back (and letting him retain his posture) and block the bend of his arm to transition to a bicep slicer.

What are some of your favorite unexpected transitions? Any thoughts on this one? |
This transition is fine, but I perfer to work a little while for the omoplata. Usually I use the belt to pull myself up and take control of the body, but if I'm doing no-gi I work for the submission with a grip on the leg (like the one in your picture) and then look for a few transitions that work well from that position.
Personally, I find that hooking the leg as in the picture and doing a barrell roll puts you on top and if I rotate my hips really quickly I can pull an armbar (or the bicept slicer shown in that pick). If I move my legs quickly, I find I can get an arm isolation side control, which is a good spot for me.
There's also a toe hold from the omoplata position, if you've got substantial control of the arm with your legs.
Sometimes, I release the arm grip and transition to the kneebar by shortening my legs up (pulling my knees to my chest).
As for favorite transitions, I like the transition from gogoplata to armbar that no one ever seems to use. I like the transition from arm triangle to ezequial choke. There are a few I've listed other places on this thread. |
