Add to Favorites 2680 Remove From Favorites 4096 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.
