I had my first class recently. A fellow student tried to teach me how to do it, but I looked like an uncoordinated idiot. Thanks for the video, now I understand what it is and hopefully I won't look as dumb haha.

They so don't do it right!! :.)

Why wouln't you show This technique being preformed while an opponent has mounted him. Just him sliding across the floor? This is bullshit! Very poor instruction.

@ramrod20042000 It's called a drill, you keep doing this because it creates muscle memory. Just like a boxer does padwork and bagwork.

I don't know so many elite fighters are complacent to stay in guard. I think shrimping is more effective than even the rubber guard.

shrimpin on the reg

[revsof]

Its a drill viewer1a, meant to develop muscle memory and form. It is being done properly.

I'm not saying the fellas in the video were doing the shrimping wrong.

I'm way to new to be saying that.

Just to the way I was taught it looked like they were not moving their hips far enough away.

[viewer1a]

When you shrimp aren't you supposed to move away from your opponent?

The guy in the video moved his body from side to side and got to his side, but he didn't move away at all.

Any comment?

Thanks.

You have to train to get it. You push on the hips, the knees and some times what ever you can get your hands on. You see what he is doing with his hands. That is him placing his hands where he is going to be pushing the other guy. Trust this video you will never get any where in grappling with out this drill

I see that the way I phrased my question didn't properly express what I was getting at.

I thought that when you shrimp you are supposed to escape your hips to the side and move away from your opponent to create room.

At this point you would be jack knifed.

Then after you have moved your hips you can then straighten your upper body out and bring your shoulders back creating even more room between you and the opponent not just move straight back like demonstrated here.

That is all.

hi i know this is a bit late lol but the shrimp isnt really to move away from your opponent, its to manouver underneath them to create space and angles for leverage.
