Add to Favorites Remove From Favorites 1816 3953 days ago
Saulo teaches three ways to escape the knee on belly. The classic approach relies on a quick hip bump with the right grips to topple your opponent when they have already established the position. The running escape to guard or running escape to single leg escapes move away from your opponent to either create the space to roll into guard or to get back on your knees. In all cases, it is important to cut down on the time of reaction for all of your escapes to increase the likelihood of escaping successfully.

Ribeiro Self Defense Series 2 - Vale Tudo Street Guard and Guard Control Against Striking Opponents
Add to Favorites 1399 Remove From Favorites 3956 days ago
Xande teaches the concept of the Vale Tudo or MMA guard and discusses that when your opponent is allowed to throw punches, the closed guard is no longer a neutral position. When in a self defense or MMA situation, the guard must be adapted to get rid of the middle distance. This means that it is more ideal to establish a tight clinch or kick your opponent away from you to get back up to your feet. Hanging out in the middle distance zone when playing guard will allow your assailant to punch you in the face.

Add to Favorites 1375 Remove From Favorites 3958 days ago
Saulo teaches the mindset on how to initiate the knee elbow escape and the traditional bridge (upa) escapes. He talks about how your defense to the mount should be more expplosive than your opponent's attack and that in the case of defending the mount, it's ok to train only one side to sharpen the reaction time as much as possible. The mount is a position where your opponent has a lot of control over your body and the best time to escape the position is during the transition to the mount, before they are able to establish full control.

Add to Favorites 2105 Remove From Favorites 3966 days ago
Rico explains how to control the distance and attack your opponent from the z guard or half guard knee shield position with the rollover sweep or omoplata. Afterwards he explains that he switches between the knee shield, spider guard, butterfly guard, and classic open depending on the distance as well as whether his opponent is standing or on their knees. If your opponent is on both knees, a half spider or butterfly guard may make more sense while a classic open, spider guard, or de la riva guard will work more effectively against a standing opponent.
