The first thing Kim does is pressure pass to his opponent’s side, breaking his grip and driving up his opponent with under hook control on his arm. Kim uses head positioning and his hips to push his opponent’s head to the side, incentivizing him to turn to his side, where he can secure the arm even tighter. Another method is to use a head to hip and walk up to pressure your opponent, control his arm and sit back for the arm bar. If your opponent rolls before you secure the arm bar you are still set up to get the omoplata.

It is a fast and quick way to get an arm bar from north south if you need it. The over hook is everything in this technique. By dominating that arm and using your head and chest to pressure you can keep your opponent pinned to the mat opening an opportunity to get a fast an unexpected arm bar. This is really awesome stuff from Kris Kim. As you can see, Kris is a lighter, quicker guy, so this may be a great technique for smaller guys out there to have in their arsenal. The truth is, the more options we have in to secure a submission in any position the better our BJJ game will get.
