  • the opponent can take the back as ur sitting up

  • Unlikely. Try it.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • ima try this when i roll :)

  • 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.

  • @ljtee2 No he cant because you have the control. 

  • @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.

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

  • Nice! ;)

  • 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!

  • 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.
