Side Mount Escape Variations

[redled82]

sei grasso

[fatmelonn]

wooooooow!! you really impress me with those escapes

[SteelCity1981]

There are many diff side mount escape variations from this position, which is why it's a good idea to try diff ones and find out what best suits you.

[statefight]

Idea is okay, but when you reach your foot, I can finish you.

[ryansilvatapsyouout]

Everytime I try and put my foot inside my partners hip, they just circle away from it, bringing their feeet towards my head. Any tips on stopping them from doing so?

[kkk666ize]

This is very hard for me to fo I am only 170lbs and my partner is 250lbs

[TechniquePrevails]

@kkk666ize You need some training partners closer to your size. Check out Grappling Connection (,) c0m !!!

[icon115]

@TechniquePrevails

are you serious?

[TechniquePrevails]

@icon115 Absolutely... There's a video for it on our channel page. It's a site for grapplers to meet training partners.

[icon115]

@TechniquePrevails i'm curious...shouldn't all techniques work on all sizes of partners?

[TechniquePrevails]

@icon115 Well not necessarily... Some guys with stronger necks and thicker shoulders are much harder to triangle- especially for someone with shorter legs. I know a guy who is double-jointed in his elbow and it's freaky with what armbars he can get out of. If technique level is exactly the same between two guys- the stronger/faster one will win. If strength/speed is exactly the same- the one with better technique will win. Just the nature of the sport!

[paolo27th]

The first escape seems like a good way to give up the mount.

[EckMikeGallino]

Nice warrior trunks my man. I have the same kind.

[Tippet76]

The hook and roll looks like it could make a great drill if you both don't get too dizzy.

[Agtren]

I like the second variation. Thank you very much! This is going to help my game.

[ayednak]

Thank you for the techniques. One question/concern when bringing the arm under, is there any way to prevent the person moving to topmount? My arm against the hip would usually prevent this.

[NWOG]

Good stuff. Jailbreak is a high percentage move and IMO works very well.

On an unrelated note, what kind of accent does the guy in the camo trunks have?

[TechniquePrevails]

@NWOG

Lol- From Georgia.

[justincerveny]

I'm not sure this would work if your opponent has over under..

[TechniquePrevails]

There are certainly things that your opponent can do to prevent this. However, if he is doing those things (ie- in a different position) then he is open to other counters and escapes. That's the name of the game, you can't control everything at once.

[JohnnyV83]

you haven't met Kevin, a 7 foot something 360 lbs-er from my Judo class.

Then again, it wasn't so much control as it was just him covering his opponents.

[tsipide]

Cool stuff.. Although on the other version where you hook the leg, your opponent on the top can turn to a kneebar...so be careful when doing that!

[TechniquePrevails]

Check out our site. We have Roy Dean's videos at a discounted price in our store!

[solo2wolf]

This looks fucking sick. Awesome, innovative stuff thanks!

[iseecolorblind2]

this looks like it would only work if your opponents not active on top.

[TechniquePrevails]

or if you ARE active on bottom.

[1rishmainaic]

Good escapes. When i go to Youtube to improve my game between training sessions it's between you guys, submissions 101 and Roy Dean. All good at explaining benifits of escapes vs only having offense on your side.

[dashburn777]

good stuff dude.

[da1jdoub]

On variation 2 when u hook that leg just throw the hand the is over his head over you opposite shoulder a you have a move the my gym has called W. I'll be uploading a video of it soon

[IronMaiden278]

nice stuff but guys prolly wont stand on theri knees like that they will eytend their legs so they have a good base

[TechniquePrevails]

In that case you simply use a different escape, but if you don't practice these as well, your opponent will adapt their base forcing you to adapt your escapes.

[uriosteguih]

Love your videos! just started jujitsu last month and one of my instructors think im lying about just starting he said that there is no possible way that im improving this fast. I told him that i was watching videos and practicing at home but he still think im full of shit. LOL

[TechniquePrevails]

Send him an invitation to the site through our invite tool. You can get everyone at his gym to form a group for free and have access to a private message board and group functions which will help with communication between training partners.

[KLguy133]

Yes excellent technique , I too had problems with escaping SM but no more . TQ.

[RodrigoVanilla93]

great vids!

but maybe next time you could film at different angles and zoom in a bit?

[paulcarpentier96]

i've been training for a few years ..but ..i'm not that good.. those videos though gives me good instructionals..

[mannyphrez]

Technique:

I want to thank you for this sidemount escape variation. As a BJJ practioner w/ 6 weeks experience, I was highly frustrated with the side mount, as I didn't know how to get out. NOT NO MORE! I was able to execute a HOOK AND ROLL ESCAPE, after I failed (more like forgot LOL) to reach under and grab my foot, setting the hook to pull butterfly guard. I was amazed on how it worked. TY! --bjjphanatic (I signed up on your website)

[kingkongtiger]

simple and straight forward:D

[TechniquePrevails]

Thanks. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Please check out the site and register a free account. We have a LOT more resources there.

[zackmcclaskey]

how about taking off the watermark or putting on the bottom

[TechniquePrevails]

The watermark is only on during talking, not during the demonstration of the technique itself. Plus, all videos in our store have the watermark removed. Thanks for watching, and please check out the site.

[JRT140]

The strength of TFW is that the techniques are simple so they are easy to replicate in the gym. The more people that buy the video packages the more videos I presume TFW will make.

[TechniquePrevails]

EXACTLY!!! We literally get thousands of subscribers and registered users, and we thoroughly enjoy making these videos. We have no plans of retiring on the profits from this site, but it is incredibly helpful to have our customers give us some monetary incentive to continue making videos. There is so much more content that we would love to cover- so we appreciate all the support that we can get!

[ProfRaphaello]

This is an art. Thanks and may God bless you!!!

[monoforraptunes]

best instructional videos on the internet.

[memento18poker]

really good video. Easy to understand and will help me not get too beaten up as a mere white belt :-)

[caz338]

Nice new vid guys! Thanks for doing these and for limiting the watermark :)

[NewOrder915]
