Many side control escapes start with the bridge. And the direction of the bridge will generally be towards the person on top. If done well, it will create enough space for rotation and hip escape.

That’s where this variation on top position comes in.

Stepping up the leg closest to the head as a base will create a structure that is hard to damage with the bridge alone. Also if you wedge the hip between your elbow and knee, there will be limited space for the hips to escape.

In this video, you’ll see a few demonstrations of me doing a few situationals in top position using the variation.

The intent on my side was to see how long I could hold him while expending the least amount of effort. And there is also one particular moment where I went for submissions.

Enjoy.
