As a white belt, it is often the case that you will find yourself in survival positions such as the mount. Xande teaches how to survive when your opponent has you mounted and how to posture yourself to make an escape. We learn two escapes, the knee elbow escape and the upa (or bridge) escape, that can be used to escape from the mount.Add to Favorites 3158 Remove From Favorites 3510 days ago

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 2676 Remove From Favorites 3510 days ago
Saulo teaches how to survive in the knee on belly position and how to recover to a more neutral position using the running escape. He advises against using your hands to press on your opponent's knee. While it may be a natural reflex to use your hands to relieve the pressure of the knee on your hands, using your arms to push on their knee can provide your opponent with opportunities to attack your arm. Instead, we roll away from the knee and use our arm and knee to create a shield and rotate our hips out and away to make the running escape.Add to Favorites 3470 Remove From Favorites 3510 days ago
