Roy Harris footdrag mount escape 2

[bobjoemagee]

Just started bjj about a week ago, and a friend (who is much stronger and heavier than me) mounts me EVERY GODDAMNED TIME. at least now i can get out (hopefully)

[liquidproton]

never Could use This Move Before!

[xyrzbat]

is there a counter to this move?

People have been doing this to me a lot!

[sha167]

The most effective counter is to take the back. Either push his top elbow down to expose the back, or use Eddie Bravo's twister roll (I think it's called the "Samurai" from this quarter guard position).

[skeletonbite]

anyone ever get caught in a guillotine/neck crank attempting this escape? since the head is up and all...

[PedroBGracieBarra]

you must cover that right leg with your left leg just before you pull full guard your giving up a free pass. Just a very little technical move that is missing. Dannymule this is a very good move and works well if you train it.

[DANNYMULE]

I dont know how easy this will be with the guy on top of you punching you in the face as hard as he can

[lolll666]

if you can turn your hips sideways that's usually all you need. it's as easy as it gets, if you can't get this then you probably won't get anything but the upa when the guy postures up to hit you

[zdanison]

Holy cow, I thought he was OJ for a split second!!

[sha167]

after viewing the technique once more, I just noticed that he bridges after trapping the leg (0'45"). I tend to forget the bridhe, and I get stuck on your side with your guard around his shin. So don't forget that detail !

+1

That's a good bit of advice. I do that too...

[oooooo3131]

Is that OJ?

[mekoka]

before saying that a technique doesn't work because this, because that, you have to remember that no technique is infallible. For one, YOU have to drill it down to turn 4 movements into a single motion, second you should use the element of surprise when doing this. That is you should salt and pepper the technique to distract your opponent. We do this all the time with triangle, armbar and the likes, why not this one?

[BullyHopkinsVIII]

excuse me i'm a noob but love to learn the concepts of fighting styles, i find mounts and grapples are cheap and love to learn how to escape them...is this better or the foot grab method to escape a mount?

[sha167]

that's because you're doing it wrong/haven't drilled it enough/are too slow (pick one)

[fearlessfighter2006]

this technique requires too much time guys

[iJITSU]

I use it all the time at the purple belt level, and I've seen brown belts and black belts hit this technique against people of the same level. So no, it doesn't take too much time. Unless you perform it at the speed he teaches it at :-)

[diamondcalves]

In real life he wouldn't be able to talk in slow motion with fist of fury in his face would he?

[lordjooe]

no he wouldnt

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@diamondcalves moron

[threefootphildo]

No one should ever push the knee down using their hands, he was correct in using his elbow the first time. Instead of lifting the hips if you keep moving that foot over you should slip right back into half, and with a solid guy that's all you he's going to allow.

[sha167]

You can upa/bump him first to off balance him, then do the escape while he's still thinking about recovering. It can be pretty fast once you've drilled it enough.

[OneZeroZeroOne]

Do you even know who Roy Harris is?

[lordjooe]

i dont

[OneZeroZeroOne]

Whoops, comment was meant to go under threefootphildo's comment.

[OneZeroZeroOne]

Whoops, that comment was meant to go under threefootphildo's.

[Tequn9q]

Good good.. Ive been wondering about how to escape that for some time. BUT... what about the punches comin in while u do it?
