I’m a martial arts instructor and I absolutely LOVED this video! Accurate, well articulated, not long winded, and great execution. Terrific resource! Hats off to you!
@@KnightJiuJitsu No worries my digital friend, you sharing all this knowledge is payment enough and I feel I retain the info better by plotting out the timelines.
I am starting BJJ at my fiance's gym. His best friend is the instructor and he's amazing. Before I started I had to tell him that I was attacked by a male coworker and assaulted, violently, several years ago. I had zero ground game because I didn't know anything to defend myself with. Just kicked as hard as I could until he pulled a knife on me to make me be still. My coach is gently training me, only having me roll with girls for now. The last mount, the high one, makes me panic if I get stuck in it. THANK YOU for these. I won't forget them and it will help me get through class without a full-blown PTSD experience. Gratitude, sir.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and I’m so sorry that happened to you. I hope that training helps you in every way, not just physically but emotionally too. And I’m glad if anything I shared could be useful for you.
@@KnightJiuJitsu do you have other examples of getting out of high mount, or basically if someone has you pinned with their knees on your shoulders or on both sides of your head? I'm short, just a little over 5', and my legs are short lol. Unfortunately, I cannot do a closed guard because I can't lock my ankles together behind the back of my rolling partner unless it's a tiny little person. If you have a video I overlooked with more things that might help me, let me know please. Thank you!
@@kimuralove1096 if you cant get guard, you can place foot to knee or hip and push. This can cause your opponent to fall to one side and make it easier to roll himover or shrimp over from the opposite side. Regarding knees on shoulders. Bad situation. However if you can move before full weight placed, shrimp under him and out the back while reaching under and lifting up on his foot for leverage and help to unbalance. Work on shrimping for better positions . If you can, find a good BJJ school or a Judo school that teaches the Kosen or Newaza groundfighting ( unfortunately may be hard to find). Good luck!
This hurts me so much that you had to go through this. I hope you learn as much self defense as possible and always have a Never Again attitude. I freeze up when people want to fight me or hurt me so I too have to get over my fears.
I actually used the "pants off" technique last night in my BJJ class against a high blue belt (I'm a total noob white belt)... he was like "WHOA!" of course... he was ready for it the next roll :-P But it was super easy to learn (without practicing it first)... I just visualized it and went with it... Great teaching! Great Lesson!
Before u tube people learned the hard way and now we take advantage of using this valuable training of others years of hard work. This channel is real technical knowledge. Im a white belt and this training is saving me on the mats. The upper belts enjoy white belts because that tap means success. I don't worry about tapping my main goal is just passing the guard. This stuff works. I support this channel because years of hard work is mine when i have an extra 10 min. to press a button and train. I save so much money in gas and time. Its cheap insurance for survival. If your a white belt you can't afford not to.
I know this vid is 5 years old and you’ll probably never read this but I just wanna say that this was super easy to follow and I really appreciate it. I’m finding BJJ difficult and this helped. Cheers.
I'm a complete beginner...week three. Been watching videos to try to become more comfortable with the terminology and follow through of the basics we've been learning. I really appreciate this video. It's clear, in both word and action which helps me SO much. Now I just need a few hundred hours on the mats! 😆
I'm a white belt. My brown belt coach, great guy, loves to mount me into an arm bar. I know as soon as he sees I can defend out of mount, he will get me some other way, but we gotta start somewhere. Thanks for the video. I needed it.
I like how this expands past the Gracie approved way of escaping the standard mount by capturing the posting limb and rolling the opponent in that direction. Another thing I'm taking away is the importance of having a good shrimp escape. Can't be lazy with those!
All of these escapes are taught at the Gracie Academy (which is the gi that Eli's partner is wearing). Trap and roll is just the first one taught because it works against most untrained people.
The technique at 6:20 is called a Scorpion and it is effective if you're flexible. I've done it a few times in both gi and no-gi. I learned it on this video, thank you Knight JiuJitsu!
Yoooo, I was about to leave a very similar comment. I'm disabled, my disability is I was born without arms. So the scorpion move is a 1/1 in my bag of defensive tricks. 💯👍🏾 the only difference is Ive never rolled backwards. I hook my heel around the neck, shoulder or into the chest and flip the mounter backwards. 😊👍🏾 I've never taken self defense classes but this gym looks really promising. I might just stick my head in to learn the proper way to scorpion. lol Thanks for commenting the name. 🤙🏾💯✌🏽
When I watched the video I got amazed by the simplicity and the quality of the explanation and when I read a lot of comments I realized I am not the only one who is appreciating your effort thank you very much , greeting from Egypt
Tracing the arm back after a failed clamp to the chest... What a great move! Thanks for sharing these techniques, and for yet another informative, articulate video.
I was in a fight on the receiving end of a full mount once! After the blows started raining down I some how got out of it, but I swore never again. Thanks for the video. I look forward to covering this in BJJ class.
I escaped being mounted by my professor using the last one from this video tonight! I wasn't able to get his foot on the way out, but I could tell he was shocked lol! He immediately turned up the heat, swung back around and put me into side control. I think I was so surprised I executed the technique on the first try and on my professor no less that I was too slow to follow up. Thanks for all the great videos...loving it!
Just started Jiu Jitsu last month. This video was extremely helpful, especially against higher belts I'm sparring with in my classes. You broke the instructions down into simple steps to follow, tried it at home, tried it during sparring and I'm happy I did.
I'm here because I am a beginner and got completely smothered in full mount last night. I had no idea what to do and got my ass beat hah. These make so much sense and I will try them next session. Thank you
But how can the person on top counter out that mount escape and still maintain the mount position? I think it's really hard to stay in high mount against that rolling escape especially against flexible parters.
I watched this earlier in the day and for my evening BJJ class I hit escape four against a higher belt and my instructor was impressed. I still lost the match but getting better!
I had to come back to this after a few years just to say that escape 5 is my best mount escape and I get the most submissions off of it. People dont know it. Epic thank you.
Great explanation! I’ve experienced all that on the mats except the last one. I love it when an experienced BJJ guy shows real stuff not just basic 101, etc
Seriously, you're a very gifted instructor. Being able to explain with clarity what for me is a topic I'm unfamiliar with as my martial arts background is from a striking base. Well done!
I am also a GJJ practitioner, and I am pretty familiar with these techniques but still I would like to thank you so much for the video. And I think you are a great teacher.
My 9 year old son has been doing jiu-jitsu for one month. I've noticed he gets stuck when someone has the mount on him. Im going to drill that very first mount escape you demonstrated with him before his jiu-jitsu class tonight. I'll drill those other escapes with him at a later time. Great video.
I love watching this videos, really solid and begginer friendly ways to defend yourself, maybe it would not work against someone with training but will be useful on a street fight against an untrained opponent
All these mounts are terrifying and a random attacker would in no way anticipate those moves. Thank you , I'm a girl and I feel stronger after learning these moves. Hope you guys come to 🇮🇳 India.
This video was awesome. I just subbed. Simple in explaination but carefully broken down. I am a black belt in TKD and have gotten a lot of requests as to how to respond to being on your back and the only sweep I've ever learned was the simple "grab the collar/arm secure the leg and bridge" but I've always felt like the problem with traditional martial arts is that there is a "one size fits all" approach. I know I might be overdoing it but that's one of the coolest things about BJJ is that you guys literally go over ever scenario. Much respect and I'll definitely be checking your videos out more!
In the same spirit go join a brazilian jiujitsu class instead of wasting more time in taekwondo because you get taken down during a spin kick by a bjj white belt anyday.
Every martial art has its pros and cons, we just happen to have a contrasting one to that of taekwondo but either way, and he just might like taekwondo we can't judge before we hear his side.
+CCSIZ Much respect to you for looking for the best answers available, even if it isn’t necessarily within the parameters of your system. TKD simply doesn’t have the best answers for ground positions, submissions and transitions. And that is perfectly ok. Because I guarantee that I am going to look beyond BJJ if I want to see the best way to perform better kicks. I always admire people willing to recognize the possible limitations of their styles and be honest about it.
I've been out of the martial arts for a long, long time now. This way very easy to follow, tremendous explanation of these techniques. I would encourage anyone to watch this because such a high percentage of altercations will end up on the ground. If you're on top, not many worries. What if you're on the bottom of a larger, stronger man however?...
+dsauce223 These are effective for larger top opponents. If the person on top is smaller, these techniques aren’t really as necessary (although they will still help save energy). If you perform these correctly, these rely mostly on leverage and timing and not power, so they are effective for bigger opponents. Not sure if you can tell in this video, but my friend in it has about 35-40 lbs on me, and these still work pretty efficiently. Thanks for your question and comment!
I have heard from Gracies that every 40lbs is a belt. we have a young athletic 6'2" 340lb guy in our gym. none of this will work on him as he is just massive. you have to run, be suer defensive. if he gets on top, you dead :)
+Mina Tarki Just as long as you realise this is not the same for an untrained person. If you are trained in grappling and you fight a 340lb guy who has no training you will be able to dominate. It may be a bit harder due to the extra weight. But if the opponent does not know how to use the weight he/she loses most of the advantage. The big guy in your gym is training so he is a different puzzle.
In the UFC example he cites, neither are wearing pants. Just push up on the hips. Besides, the friction from the pants will work for you. Always pros and cons.
thanks a million . im doing aikido . so i will do this practice in the gym tomorrow . these are great escapes that no one has told me or thought me . God with you .
So helpful! I’m a woman who started jiu jitsui about 8-9wks ago and get stuffed in mount a lot and can’t seem to get out! I’m gonna watch this frequently until I can escape in a live roll
These seem like really good examples clear and concscice. I don't like examples that are too complicated and long because I just get lost. a few escapes like this with clear instruction its the best.
I know I'm watching this waaay late, but it was super helpful! After I had only been to 7-8 lessons, I would always get destroyed if anyone got me in mount. They would either walk their knees into my armpits, make the high narrow mount or just flatten out on me. It's true what they say, "You learn more from making mistakes", and these escapes really stuck in my head. Since then I just kept rolling with just the first two you mentioned, but I look forward to trying out the last couple you mentioned :)
That final one is gonna be very helpful, I train mma and normally dominate on the ground but this one time I got high mounted and got smashed and didn’t have an answer I’ll definitely incorporate this. Great video
I appreciate these videos, they raise the standards of basic fundamental training. It's frustrating that my current school doesn't teach this at a basic level
Your escapes are great. I always feel that I have no plan when I’m in the bottom, but I’ll try your steps. The variety of escapes will give me more confidence to get me out. Again, thank you 🙏🏾🇨🇦
Great tutorial, thank you! Just went over some of these mount escapes in class earlier today and your lesson here really helped to solidify them. That high mount escape is something else.
As has previously been said, this is very good instruction - simple, easy to understand explanations with no extraneous information and good demonstrations. Thanks for sharing this information for free, bottom of mount was always my worst position.
This video is the best I've seen in in 2018.... I appreciate you taking the time to post this incredible video my son troy has been t ranning for only one month but I'm going to show him this clip I'm 100% sure that when he is on his back on the mat he will have a better respond for his opponent thanks guys!!
Excellent details. Love the "shrimp to the side that's light when they post on the opposite side and go to single leg x" - will be working that this week.
Thanks a bunch man! I just started classes so of course I end up getting mounted by blue belts, this video made it super easy to understand for someone with no background. Looks like I'll be starting a mini marathon of videos on this channel
Great video from an experienced Wing Chun practitioner on my end. Thank you Knight Jiu-Jitsu, Sir. I actually started (8 Million years ago - :)) on the mat (Judo) . Nice teaching methodology. Very practical. Excellent. I will subscribe.
Steven thanks for this video, I know it has been out for a while but 5 months ago I took my first class and it was a huge help! I watched it over and over, not fully understanding everything going on except the message you were trying to get across. Ever since I watch this video once per month and each time as my understanding grows I'm seeing things I didn't before and there so much valuable info here. Just watched it again today and so many little things I get now and I know I'm just getting started. Again thanks, your video gave me some tools and confidence to survive my first 5 months. FYI I (someone else commented on the same thing) love the slow mo breakdown, makes my life so much easier!
Great techniques! I've been doing MMA for a year and often get stuck in a mount. Right when I thought "but my opponent always stands by my armpits" you guys showed what I can do it that position! I'll try to apply this next time!
After watching this I looked at your playlists and feel like I need to watch every video... I have an exam on thursday so unfortunately have to wait until after that lol :) great job guys
Thanks again. I keep coming back to these basic vids of yours, they are just so valuable. I guess I've watched this particular video around 50 odd times in the last 2 years.
Believe it or not at the 2019 Panpac tournament I did the escape 5 .. Fully inspired by this video... practiced it at class when the situation happened... it works :-) and people worndered what the heck just happened??? hahaa love it.. thank you! inspirational .. btw i got a 3rd place in my division :-)
Introduction 0:05 1) Trapping hand to belt 1:12 2) Shrimp out to technical stand-up 1:55 3) Removing the grapevine to re-guard 3:22 4) Bridge up and push off 4:47 5) high mount armpit push to foot lock 6:18 I apologize if these descriptions aren't the best.
5:18 was on of the sickest moves ive ever seen im only 2 weeks in jiu jitsu, this shit is so fun cant wait to practice the escapes tmw for open mat LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I wish I'd known this 5 years ago as a newbie to a GBBJ gym I went to. I was under another (more experienced) white belts mount for what seemed like 5 minutes. Our instructor had asked us to roll and try to get an arm bar submission. After 3 minutes of me struggling underneath this guy I tapped in the hope we could set up again and go for arm bars. The guy on top said "I haven't arm barred you yet" and stayed put. I continued to struggle and eventually ran out of gas. He only got off of me when the instructor called time. I've got to be honest it really pissed me off as I thought the guy would of let me up to continue to roll looking for arm bars. But I may be wrong. Anyway with all that being said I stopped training shortly after and now find myself looking to go back an start again maybe. It's been 4 years. If I knew one of these escapes maybe I could of given the guy more trouble. Thanks for posting great to see possible solutions to the predicament I was in. All the best
Wow. thank you SO much for posting this. I am going to watch all your videos and will subscribe to your channel. Specifically the fact that you break everything down to its smallest logical step makes all the difference in the world. THANK YOU!!!
I'm a brand new white belt found this very informative. I'll start looking out for ur vids from now on. The second and third I like because either of his reactions to your initial action gives u the out. Can't wait to try. Thanks
I’m always getting trapped under high mount. Trapping an arm and bridging def hasn’t been working. I can’t wait to try the feet under the arm pit and roll under! 🤯
Blue belt, been off for over a year. Going back in a couple months and started retraining at home. Great instruction. Just practiced w/ the bjj dummy. Thank you! A few concepts opened up also.

Me: "Oh that looks so easy! I will try that next time."
Next class, forgets everything.
Every. Time.
When you're on the ground you forget even to breathe 😂
we actually remember them, its just that when we actually roll we don't really think that much lolol
what do you mean '"next event"
how about "next 10 training sessions" first
Literally me 😅

I’m two weeks in and these escapes comes in clutch. People think I’ve been doing BJJ longer but I’m glued to these videos.

I hope these help!
Essential techniques. Everyone should have a solid handful of techniques for escaping the most basic ground position.
The only time I trained Jiu jitzu this was the move I learned. How to escape full mount.
I was just thinking, "but what about the high mount", right before you showed it. Lol.
Haha! Awesome.
But how can the person on top counter out that mount escape and still maintain the mount position? I think it's really hard to stay in high mount against that rolling escape especially against flexible parters.
Gosh!!!
I’ve lost my flexibility so I just pray it doesn’t happen to me.
Guess I’ll be wearing running shoes always.

If you perform these correctly, these rely mostly on leverage and timing and not power, so they are effective for bigger opponents. Not sure if you can tell in this video, but my friend in it has about 35-40 lbs on me, and these still work pretty efficiently. Thanks for your question and comment!
Understood. Thank you for your response.
I have heard from Gracies that every 40lbs is a belt. we have a young athletic 6'2" 340lb guy in our gym. none of this will work on him as he is just massive. you have to run, be suer defensive. if he gets on top, you dead :)

Just as long as you realise this is not the same for an untrained person. If you are trained in grappling and you fight a 340lb guy who has no training you will be able to dominate. It may be a bit harder due to the extra weight. But if the opponent does not know how to use the weight he/she loses most of the advantage. The big guy in your gym is training so he is a different puzzle.
I needed this. I always get stuck in mount and have no way that but the bridge escape. Now I will practice these. Thank you!
You are a gifted instructor! Your instructions are so clear. You're students are lucky to have you as their teacher!
Thank you!
Guys, this could save somebody's life
And somebody's virginity
@@lite7721 lol
Devin Henderson my life cuz all the time I’m on the mat 🥺
It will save your life the same as watching how to jump with parachute and then trying it.
It can if the person practices it with a partner. Otherwise it is just as useless as not watching the video at all.
I’m not gonna wear pants just so that technique won’t work on me. One less thing I’ll have to worry about.
In the UFC example he cites, neither are wearing pants. Just push up on the hips. Besides, the friction from the pants will work for you. Always pros and cons.
you got legs? sensei.
I fight naked and oiled up I don’t have to worry either

LMFAO
Eli thank so much for this video! I have watched a ton of vids on mount escapes and this by far the most informative one I have ever seen!
Great! Thank you!
thanks a million . im doing aikido . so i will do this practice in the gym tomorrow . these are great escapes that no one has told me or thought me . God with you .
I hope they are helpful. All the best to you in 2020!
So helpful! I’m a woman who started jiu jitsui about 8-9wks ago and get stuffed in mount a lot and can’t seem to get out! I’m gonna watch this frequently until I can escape in a live roll
I hope this helps! Best of luck with your training!
These seem like really good examples clear and concscice. I don't like examples that are too complicated and long because I just get lost. a few escapes like this with clear instruction its the best.
I know I'm watching this waaay late, but it was super helpful! After I had only been to 7-8 lessons, I would always get destroyed if anyone got me in mount. They would either walk their knees into my armpits, make the high narrow mount or just flatten out on me. It's true what they say, "You learn more from making mistakes", and these escapes really stuck in my head. Since then I just kept rolling with just the first two you mentioned, but I look forward to trying out the last couple you mentioned :)
Never too late. And thank you for watching. I truly hope these help and keep me posted!
That final one is gonna be very helpful, I train mma and normally dominate on the ground but this one time I got high mounted and got smashed and didn’t have an answer I’ll definitely incorporate this. Great video
I appreciate these videos, they raise the standards of basic fundamental training. It's frustrating that my current school doesn't teach this at a basic level
Thank you so much!
Your escapes are great. I always feel that I have no plan when I’m in the bottom, but I’ll try your steps. The variety of escapes will give me more confidence to get me out. Again, thank you 🙏🏾🇨🇦
Great tutorial, thank you! Just went over some of these mount escapes in class earlier today and your lesson here really helped to solidify them. That high mount escape is something else.
Thank you!
As has previously been said, this is very good instruction - simple, easy to understand explanations with no extraneous information and good demonstrations. Thanks for sharing this information for free, bottom of mount was always my worst position.
Thank you for that comment. I really appreciate it a lot.
This video is the best I've seen in in 2018.... I appreciate you taking the time to post this incredible video my son troy has been t ranning for only one month but I'm going to show him this clip I'm 100% sure that when he is on his back on the mat he will have a better respond for his opponent thanks guys!!
Wow! This is such a great comment. I really appreciate it a lot. And good luck to you and your son in your training!
Excellent details. Love the "shrimp to the side that's light when they post on the opposite side and go to single leg x" - will be working that this week.
Awesome! Thank you for watching it. I hope it helps.
This is one of the best simple mount escape videos i have seen!!! Great stuff, thank you!!
Thanks a bunch man! I just started classes so of course I end up getting mounted by blue belts, this video made it super easy to understand for someone with no background. Looks like I'll be starting a mini marathon of videos on this channel
Thank you! I really appreciate you checking out my channel and I hope there is some useful stuff for you. 🙏
Great video from an experienced Wing Chun practitioner on my end. Thank you Knight Jiu-Jitsu, Sir. I actually started (8 Million years ago - :)) on the mat (Judo) . Nice teaching methodology. Very practical. Excellent. I will subscribe.
I really appreciate that! Thank you!
Thank you for these escapes im a white belt and the higher heavier belts keep getting mount and these are helping alot
Potentially one of the most comprehensive video demos I have seen.
Thank you.
I really appreciate that
Steven thanks for this video, I know it has been out for a while but 5 months ago I took my first class and it was a huge help! I watched it over and over, not fully understanding everything going on except the message you were trying to get across. Ever since I watch this video once per month and each time as my understanding grows I'm seeing things I didn't before and there so much valuable info here. Just watched it again today and so many little things I get now and I know I'm just getting started. Again thanks, your video gave me some tools and confidence to survive my first 5 months.
FYI I (someone else commented on the same thing) love the slow mo breakdown, makes my life so much easier!
'Perfectly integrates an escape and guard pass in the same technique, then tightens his black belt...' I like your style man 🤣💪🤙
Great techniques! I've been doing MMA for a year and often get stuck in a mount. Right when I thought "but my opponent always stands by my armpits" you guys showed what I can do it that position! I'll try to apply this next time!
Glad I could help! Thanks!
After watching this I looked at your playlists and feel like I need to watch every video... I have an exam on thursday so unfortunately have to wait until after that lol :) great job guys
I wish I could train under this guy, he keeps things so simple and practical. I love his videos.
I really appreciate that
Very practical too! As a one stripe white belt, position control is the biggest focus. These positions are crucial!
Notes for myself
3:22 full mount escape into full guard
6:17 full mount escape to standing
reminder
@@baconatorhenry6381 haven't seen this in years. That second timestamp is such a wild escape
@@PursuitSk8 haha
Have been studying judo for about a year but looking to try jiu-jitsu as well. This was very informative and helpful. Thanks!
Always glad to help!
Thank you so much this will help me in grappling so much. Thank you for showing this to everyone in the world and me.
These are the best jiu jitsu videos I've ever watched. Clear instruction, helpful examples, and great audio and visual quality. Thank you for sharing!
I really appreciate that
Thanks again. I keep coming back to these basic vids of yours, they are just so valuable. I guess I've watched this particular video around 50 odd times in the last 2 years.
I’m really happy to hear that and glad I could help at all.
These are the men we need 💪🏼💖
Believe it or not at the 2019 Panpac tournament I did the escape 5 .. Fully inspired by this video... practiced it at class when the situation happened... it works :-) and people worndered what the heck just happened??? hahaa love it.. thank you! inspirational .. btw i got a 3rd place in my division :-)
That is so awesome to hear! Thank you for letting me know. I really appreciate it
Thank you master , very good useful lessons , I do appreciate!
All the best from South Australia 🇦🇺

Me attempting these at open mat.... 55:30
Excellent. Thank you so much. I'm gonna try some of these tonight
Great video man, I already knew 3 or 4 of these but always good to see them again to refresh and to add on. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Most valuable mount escapes on TH-cam, thank you !
Great video !
As a newborn white belt, I find it quite amazing as with your videos you open my mind on diffrent approaches in sparring.
What a great video. What a great exponent. What a great instructor.
This is so good! One of the only videos I actually understand, you explain everything so well 😊
So well explained!! Super helpful. I can’t wait to surprise my higher ranked opponent that gets paired with me at practice.
Those little details on WHY made all the difference, thanks.
5:18 was on of the sickest moves ive ever seen im only 2 weeks in jiu jitsu, this shit is so fun cant wait to practice the escapes tmw for open mat LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
man you make JiuJitsu look smooth!!
I wish I'd known this 5 years ago as a newbie to a GBBJ gym I went to. I was under another (more experienced) white belts mount for what seemed like 5 minutes. Our instructor had asked us to roll and try to get an arm bar submission. After 3 minutes of me struggling underneath this guy I tapped in the hope we could set up again and go for arm bars. The guy on top said "I haven't arm barred you yet" and stayed put. I continued to struggle and eventually ran out of gas. He only got off of me when the instructor called time. I've got to be honest it really pissed me off as I thought the guy would of let me up to continue to roll looking for arm bars. But I may be wrong. Anyway with all that being said I stopped training shortly after and now find myself looking to go back an start again maybe. It's been 4 years. If I knew one of these escapes maybe I could of given the guy more trouble. Thanks for posting great to see possible solutions to the predicament I was in. All the best
Thank you for the message! Good luck getting back into training and thank you for watching these.
Wow. thank you SO much for posting this. I am going to watch all your videos and will subscribe to your channel. Specifically the fact that you break everything down to its smallest logical step makes all the difference in the world. THANK YOU!!!
I really appreciate that greatly!
I'm a brand new white belt found this very informative. I'll start looking out for ur vids from now on. The second and third I like because either of his reactions to your initial action gives u the out. Can't wait to try. Thanks
That’s awesome to hear. Thank you so much!
I watched this video before my roll, and performed #5 perfectly, it felt so natural to do that. Thank you for sharing!
This truly is an amazing style.
I’m always getting trapped under high mount. Trapping an arm and bridging def hasn’t been working. I can’t wait to try the feet under the arm pit and roll under! 🤯
This was extremely helpful. I learned a lot. Thank you
Thanks so much! The only two escapes I use are bridge and roll and shrimp, but this is definately giving me more flexibility in my mount escapes.
Blue belt, been off for over a year. Going back in a couple months and started retraining at home. Great instruction. Just practiced w/ the bjj dummy. Thank you! A few concepts opened up also.
Welcome back! I’m happy these help.
