And in that video I shared a glimpse of how I am escaping from side control now. It’s all based on the principle of working for structure first then moving towards the escape afterward.

Now in this video, you will learn some of the attacks that can be used once the structure is established even if your opponent tries to transition.

#BJJ #sidecontrol #escapes

When it comes to side control escapes, I have recently shifted my mindset. Instead of approaching the task tactics (with more and better techniques), I now focus on the strategic goal of getting on my side then reinforcing that structure.

It aligns with a mantra I have had for a long time which is: the space I create must be mine to keep. And if I can be successful in achieving that goal of getting on my side with a strong structure, escape becomes almost effortless.

Case in point:

You can see one such example in this video.

#BJJ #halfguard #guardpassing

Today’s BJJ video is a useful strategy that will put you a step ahead of your opponents. You can implement this for pretty much any position in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu because it’s not specific to a technique. Instead it’s specific to a situation. That situation is whenever a change of position happens.

For example a sweep where a person comes up on top, a guard pass, a takedown, etc.

And during these situations there’s a point where you’ve sometimes lost the battle. You’re losing the back, you’re getting swept, and so on. And it’s at this point where you can continue to fight a losing battle for the position or you can get ready for what’s next.

In the video I show 2 examples of setting up escapes once I feel I’ve lost the position and how I use Butterfly Guard to counter people.

Again, these ideas aren’t specific to just what we did here. They’re ideas that are useable anytime a position changes. So take some time to think about how the strategy could apply to your BJJ game when you roll or compete.
