Saulo teaches how to survive when your opponent has you in side control and how to position your arms and legs to protect against submissions. In this lesson we combine the hip escape and hip escape belly down floor drills taught in chapter one to escape from our opponent's side control. The hip escape allows us to change angles by shifting our hips and creates the necessary space between you and your opponent to recover the guard.Add to Favorites 3966 Remove From Favorites 2958 days ago
Lucas shows how to set up his position he calls the dog fight, from the half guard. Starting with the knee shield, he sits up and gets the underhook, reaching across his opponent's back. Lucas makes sure to control the far arm and keep his head close to the chest. He hooks his opponent's leg with his leg and comes to his knees, making sure to pinch the leg tight between his knees. Now he is in the dog fight position, where he has many attack options.Add to Favorites 3775 Remove From Favorites 3625 days ago
To begin the series we first examine one of the most common forms of knee slice guard passes, the classic knee slice with either an esgrima (far side underhook) or with a hand plant on your opponent's hip. This guard pass is very versatile and can be adapted into use for both gi and no gi.Add to Favorites 3745 Remove From Favorites 3463 days ago

Your opponent may bridge and roll in to you as you're passing the guard or find a way to bridge into you to break the pin from side control. If your opponent is already on their side, it may be hard to re-establish control of the position. Rather than letting them reestablish their guard, spin around to the back side instead to reestablish your side control or to transition to the back.
