No, you shouldn't grab the foot when you are finishing the omoplata, only when you are transitioning to the sweep.
If you are going to finish the omo, you should be up and wrap your arm around the waste, like you said.
The variation that I sometime do, if I can't get my hips out all the way, is the Marcelo Garcia omoplata where instead of going under the hips I hook my arm under my opponent's opposite arm and use that grip to increase my leverage. |
