Sit Up Escape from Side Control

[sasukeKILLSnaruto1]

ima try this when i roll :)

[arturoleglocks]

As soon as the arm comes through, the only thing the top guy has to do is put his forearm on bottom guy's face to crossface him, which opens up the armbar.

good work nice escape, needs to be done quickly and wit momentum if doing it on someone bigger imo

[tiagoleite]

Nice! ;)

[ljtee2]

the opponent can take the back as ur sitting up

[budoatemaildotcom]

Unlikely. Try it.

[infinummalum8]

@ljtee2

I agree. I like the variation, but any one who feels a grab on the head without an underhook shouldand will most likely b thinking take he back, which isnt hard from there.

[bdbfighting]

@ljtee2 No he cant because you have the control. 

[schoobs2731]

This seems useful for sure. I feel like if I continued all the way thru and tried to take side control on the opponent I would get my back taken unless I was pretty quick about it. Anyway even if I don't this could help me regain guard. I'll be trying this out today.

[Houseoferebus]

im just wondering if the opponent can get to your back once you grab your leg for escape..it looks like the opponent can scoot out to your back?

But I will definately Try this !!!! thanks

[valiantfocker]

It looks like he COULD get your back if you release the grip from your leg, otherwise I would think NO, but I'm trying this tonight!

[23runner4]

I really like that last move thanks!

[trosh86]

whats to prevent an armbar once you put your arm out there. i asked one of my coaches and he said you are setting yourself up for an armbar and only on a very inexperienced person would this work. i think it looks like a good escape, im just wondering

[budoatemaildotcom]

Every move has risk. That's the cool thing about this sport. Lots of escapes set you up for chokes, too. This is not a beginner's escape, so I expect that if the top man changed his arm position, the bottom man would watch for that. The hard part about this move is the setup. Getting both of your arms in front of you is hard if the top man has a solid side control, but you can always adjust while he's in transition. Once you get your arms in position, you can catch an experienced guy with this.

shaolin, that would be Kesa-gatame

[shaolinkungfu123]

when the "escaper" escapes, what is the posistion he gets into?

[budoatemaildotcom]

It's a kesa gatame side control, and it's not a very safe variation of this position. Once you sit up, you'll want to drive your right arm underhooked under his far armpit. This will prevent him from taking your back.

[vontrop]

this a great move and will work on even the best guys , if it is set up correctly

[xstraightupx]

good job guys really appreciate the video

[Valetudo21]

this is sweet, never seen it before

[potz555]

I like I like

[hensuyang]

Nice move...

[StevieSparkZ]

I really like this escape and most of your other side control escapes. They are new and innovative but also very practical.

[holdyerground1]

Doesn't seem like a good escape at all.

If you don't make enough space, and end up reaching for your leg and don't get a good hold on it you pretty much put yourself into an arm triangle.

Also, if he reads the escape, all he has to do is slip his head out and he has over under grips on your back, which prime him for putting in the hooks.

I would use something that, if it goes wrong, only really leaves you open to staying in side control.

[budoatemaildotcom]

Thanks for the comment. Like any escape, it has risk. This move is unconventional enough that I'm not surprised to get this type of comment. But, I suggest you try it before you discard it from your potential arsenal. I've used this escape successfully many times. It almost works like a judo flip from your back.

[thesensei]

I love it,it's very simple and practical and since I am a competitive judoka, i will really incorporate this into my arsenal. Escapes are definitely my weakness so thanks!

[KLguy133]

i think remaining under side control is worse than the 2 other options

[daybreak79]

clever and practical
