Escaping Side

When you are caught under side position, you must escape... but not fast! Do not turn your back, do not expose your arms, and do not allow your opponent to mount you! Here is a lightning-fast read on my strategies for escaping:


Positioning:
1. Hold opponent tight to you.
2. Place your near knee up and into his hip, and brace on your far knee.
3. Be familiar with uses for arm under throat, arm around neck, and arm under far armpit positions.


Escapes:
1. Shrimp escape.
2. Going to knees.
3. "Running" escape (shrimp to other side).


Miscellany:
1. If opponent makes a balance mistake, be prepared to roll him.
2. If opponent makes a solid move to mount, be prepared to do a "back door" shrimp escape.
3. Escaping Wedge (aka - "North/South" or "69" position) is the same methodology.
