SH escaping the back

SH training

focus- escaping the back

techniques-

-escaping to the side opposite of choking arm (back flat)
-escaping with baseball bat grip on choking arm (duck under arm)
-escaping with baseball bat grip- pendulum legs to spin to guard (hand in bicep)

notes-
-to free bottom leg- kick leg straight and get hip over leg
-baseball bat- tension on arm, and then push into hip to control as you do the second part of move

extra techniques-
-half guard pass- sprawl leg and heel to butt move- drive crown of head into opponent's chin to flatten
-variation off same pass- they frame you with arm- hit arm across body quickly, go for arm triangle
-sprawl on butterfly hooks pass- switch to knee on shin, balance on legs, go leg across middle for the pass or whatever else comes to mind (practice on swiss ball)

reminder-
-demian maia's side control escape- duck under and spin to other side just as they pass to one side

strategy-
-learn to pass on right side, most people don't have as developed defense vs. that side
-keys to passing- pressure, tiring out the legs, destroying the legs!
