A hot favourite amongst advanced grapplers, notably Nick Diaz and Shinya Aoki, the gogoplata is a skewed and slightly advanced variation of the omoplata that attacks the neck. While the traditional gogoplata is essentially a shoulder lock, the mixed martial arts variation is what is known by the masses.
The gogoplata involves wrapping the leg around the opponent’s arm while placing the ankle underneath the neck! The hands are used to pull on the opponent’s neck and make life unpleasant for him/her. Once effectively locked-in, the gogoplata is extremely hard to wiggle out of!
Having the distinction of being one of the most ingenious holds in mixed martial arts, it’s likely crossover into professional wrestling would be quite a treat to watch. Superstars hailing from the strong style oeuvre like Shinsuke Nakamura would be perfect in selling the move!
