However in previous bouts I undertook I used a innovated version of the Gogoplata while my opponent was still standing. I found it effective and switched my style to support it. However after repeated use it began to come into routine and opponents where aware of it. Never rely on a single offense, a lesson I gave up trying to learn, in my case I was too predicable. Those interested I used both the downward pressure of my leg and weight to drop down the throat onto my shin to 'knock the wind out of them.' It takes little pressure then to force a submission. However there was occasions I mistimed the hold and left myself open to several types of moves. Sometimes costing me a bout. My last match ironically ended with me being placed in the gogoplata. I felt confident because I had used the move so many times that a escape method would be visible. However I was cocky and because I felt I knew the move I would be immune to it. I coughed a mouthful of blood out and tapped from the pain. Afterwards my opponent admitted it was his first time using it and he would be supporting it now as well.

I have a question tough...how come noone seems to use it as a tool for an armbar? Most of the time your opponents arm is gonna be 'caught "half way to an omaplata" , but if you straighten it out the transition is natural....for me atleast...

One thing I've found is that dorsiflexing your foot (flexing your foot up) makes for a much harder surface across your opponent's neck. Plus, it lets your shin and foot each press on an artery. It may feel wierd, but for me, this has been the key to its effectiveness. This is a great submission!
