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 1156 Remove From Favorites 4075 days ago

Clark shows a brabo choke variation that uses your own lapel to choke your opponent from side control. Being choked with your opponent's lapel is rare and you may be able to catch them off guard with this sneaky submission!Add to Favorites 1425 Remove From Favorites 4130 days ago
Sometimes your opponent will initiate the torreada pass looking to get around your legs just enough to drop his hips onto your body to immobilize you to finish the pass. In this case, your hands must frame against your opponent's body before their hips are able to apply pressure. Using your frame, immediately shrimp away from your opponent to clear enough room to get your legs between you and your opponent to recover the guard. The pass defense must be built into reflex to achieve an instant response to stop your opponent's pass attempt as every second that you give to them increases their opportunity to pass.Add to Favorites 1839 Remove From Favorites 4156 days ago

Saulo explains that it may not always be possible to escape using the traditional side control escape if your opponent is using his hands to block off one side with a same-side crossface and hipblock. In this situation, the running escape may be the key to escaping side control to a neutral position.Add to Favorites 1612 Remove From Favorites 4158 days ago
The side control escape to guard and escape to all fours are a combination that go well together. If your opponent prevents you from recovering the guard, transition to the knees instead to continue your escape to a neutral position.
