3 super magical side control escapes

I spent more time stuck in side control than I do in my own house.

Why escape when you feel so safe

I get smothered and can’t breath in side control lmao

[@seabreezewindowcoverings3257]

Used the initial technique and it worked so well I haven't had a chance to use the others yet! Rolled the first three people directly to side control. It was almost too easy! Amazing instruction! Thank you as this has helped my game!

[@dxnte9522]

Thanks for confirming this 🤟🏾now I’ll be useing

[@jonaswesley2658]

The first position only works if the guy you're rolling with is not that good. Because anyone above a white belt would always go for an underhook and wouldn't just lay on top of you with no control.

[@gpcm9226]

What's missing from most youtube BJJ videos is live sparring at full speed to show the move against someone who is actively trying to keep side control for example.

[@southisaac]

This gives me hope. I always feel helpless when I’m in side control.

[@koengreen2540]

I always hope they go for kimura cause I can only escape from there 😂😂

[@Seqtopus]

I'm a white belt that's been having trouble escaping half guard. I brought the "waive to the camera" technique into open mat and it worked like a charm. Thank you.

[@crokengaming]

I cannot freaking wait to try these! I'm 6', 194 lbs (white belt)....but getting stuck in side control and cannot escape from almost anyone, whether they be larger or smaller; apparently I have a weak back or something, but bridging & shrimping (especially getting to my side) seems impossible for me. These look like they may work really well for me. I cannot WAIT to try. Thank you sir!

[@DanSFSD]

I’ve been doing and teaching bjj for a long time and this is still one of my favorite videos on KZbin. This will make almost anymore better at bjj if they haven’t seen it.

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Thanks for the comment Dan!🤙🏻

[@dxnte9522]

I’m just seeing this now I’m excited for my class tomorrow

[@Jo-ym6id]

Chad man, i watched heaps of side control escape vids. these were the easiest to understand , you're a awesome coach

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Jo thanks Jo!

[@alrumuller9300]

We were drilling sidemount escapes literally just last night and now this comes up. One of our guys has the tightest sidemount I have ever seen. He tucks his top elbow behind his knee and squeezes with both, while doing a cup-hold and pulling inwards on the far shoulder. While he does that, he locks himself down on you completely, but you aren’t escaping.

[@blackhatstudios5673]

Just trained with him yesterday at bjj Columbus, he’s amazing!

[@Jesus-Lives-In-You]

Love your instructionals man. You're great at teaching.

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Thank you!

[@Discipline_equals_freedom]

I’m going to try these out tomorrow at class. It was great meeting you. Best of luck, hopefully you’ll be getting after it soon.

[@visible8524]

Thanks guys this helped me a lot in sparring I was able to get a stripe on my belt for jujitsu. our ranks go by stripe on belt on a little black strip thanks so much

[@erock64]

Great video , to the point , video angles , audio ! I enjoy finding these gems, and I watch them over and over I am becoming a fan

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Eric Smidt thanks for watching!🤙

[@tinniemc]

Real slick escapes, I will definitely give them a go. Number 2 is really cool

[@fromthegamethrone]

Searching and Searching and Searching on youtube for literal YEARS and finally a good Side Control Tut

[@damianbeattie91]

in all these escapes, your arm was free and you were able to get your elbow inside. (right arm on the last escape). a good side control wouldnt let you get your elbow in. please demo one like this

[@Hardcore_Ant]

In this case it's up to you to create space for yourself. Try short hip bumps, or push their hips with your forearm

[@zplitterz]

for me it was about not letting it get that bad. if it is, my arm is I'm the best place it can be to then hip jump like suggested above and improve the position even slightly. I have a blue belt for awhile but this helped me alot.

[@buttscooter420]

Are you talking about the arm that's framing on the neck (white belt here)

[@omphemetsemogwatlhe983]

You should try to go on the side when you try to put the knee to touch your elbow and you should always hold the opponent’s arm tight

[@lovinthe1320]

Thanks, Chad. Im about 8 months into training and trying to play open guard. Obviously a huge learning curve here. Keep getting smashed in side control. Looking forward to giving these a try. No Liabilities! 😎

[@chadmichaels1896]

I hope you are still training should be a blue belt or close to it by now! Keep us updated. OSS!!! 🤙❤️👊

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Thanks for the comment man! Hope you are still at it!🤙🏻

[@omphemetsemogwatlhe983]

I was struggling to escape when I was trying to use my knee to touch my elbow when I was doing sparring and when I was trying to do underhook escape and this video helps me a lot.

[@marios6524]

Thank you sir.. I was really need these kind of escape.. You make me happy.. Have a great day.

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

I’m happy to make you happy! Thanks for the comment Mario!

[@Apolarcat]

Watched this video the morning of practice and used the first one very effectively in a roll.

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Nice!!! Thanks for the comment Connor.

[@Apolarcat]

@@ChadtheBeastHardy I still use it!

[@ryanbethel158]

Dude, thank you for this video. I struggle with side control so much and I hit that first escape in class this morning. Felt incredible.

[@tapoutrobby1843]

Amazing! I have such a hard time getting out of the more experienced guys side control. So I'll be sure to use these techniques to get out now. BIG thank you beast!!!

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Thank you for your comment!

[@frigglediggle2]

I have only had 1 jiu jitsu class so far and i am already here getting a head start for the next practice session. We are not good enough to roll yet, but we like to wrestle from the different positions. Christ, Jiu jitsu is addictive.

[@Josue-rd5gt]

Binky Bones it sure is, in the beginning, I was going 6 times a week , M-W-F during lunch and the fundamentals classes M, F night and then the 90 min Saturday class. I wanted to get as much mat time as possible. Once I fractured my rib and had a QL injury and was out 2.5 months, I dropped to 3x-4x a week. My 12 & 7 year old daughters do BJJ and oldest also does Mauy Thai so I practically live at the gym.

[@feelsman7837]

@@Josue-rd5gt awesome

[@papateewhenua1087]

Gonna try this out tomorrow...usually l have big plans after watching some KZbin videos only to completely mess it up in a live roll ..im quietly confident though

[@eschelar]

Dude this is what I have.been looking for for ages. Simple no gi methods for escaping side control. Gonna try the fuck out of this tomorrow morning. I am a stocky dude but I keep getting stuck with a beginner guy who is over 300lb and he only knows side control. And I don't have any good escapes from side control. So I wriggle and get absolutely flattened for 5 minutes or so and then I am exhausted. It has been almost 2 weeks and everything I have tried has failed. All the videos require ideas that don't involve a 315 lb monster leaning his shoulder on your throat and chest to chest and arms clinging to your neck in a death grip. And half them are gi. This stuff though, sensible and looks like it will actually work on guys of all sizes. Thanks man Subbed

[@guilhermemrdeath]

Plain and simple don't let a 300 lbs guy pass your guard 😆😆😆

[@eschelar]

@@guilhermemrdeath I'll remember to say that to all the 165lb guys while I'm pressure passing them. I'm around 235-240 and muscular. For the record, after a few weeks of trying this, the most reliable escapes have been just the basic hip escape and a little bit some stuff from Brian Peterson. I've only ever managed to get the sweep of this in drilling. I'm white belt and kinda slow though. hahaha

[@guilhermemrdeath]

@@eschelar I have been using these escapes in the last week and they have been working well for me especially the sweep, but it is nearly impossible hit it in a guy that is much stronger and heavier and I am 130lbs guy, so every body is bigger than me, but I could hit it sometimes times in training.

[@NegatingSilence]

I watched this video one time a few years ago and I escape side control like 70% of the time by using that thing where you flip them over and reverse the position. They never think it's going to happen, and even when they know me and know that I do it all the time, they still don't think it's going to work on that particular occasion.

[@aidenog7380]

I’d say ur very unpredictable that’s why they can’t stop it

[@bodyboardingtoday4897]

[@leighprout]

going to try these next session , will update if works , i just get squashed in side control by 6 stone heavier guys , need more techincal escapes

[@kdb560]

Thanx Chad, I much prefer these escapes against a larger opponent as opposed to the "hip-away-then-suck-in-my-btm-leg" since inevitably, their knee sticks to my hip even when I shrimp away and blocks my attempt to scoot my left under them and place them in full or half guard. Can't wait to try these!

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Hope they helped! Thanks for the comment!

[@tbr2025]

I'm pretty bad with the hip swings, not enough mobility there yet to be effective against better players. But that first one is hot. That's right up my alley. Will use that for sure.

[@gamerguy3914]

[@hump1201]

Will definitely try these. I'm new so I'm becoming familiar with side control. So far flopping around aimlessly hasn't been working.

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Hope it helped! Thanks for the comment!

[@OriginalFallofMind]

We did a variation of the 3rd. With pendulum. Problem is dude already has too much weight over on top. When a good player has his head on the close side with shoulder pressure and blocking the hips, it's sucks worse.

[@TonyFernandezjkdjedi]

Am I the only one who still struggles in side control here!! :..(

[@javzee2315]

I ve been watching this video 2x a week for the last 3 weeks

[@hotredtiger316]

The very last side control escape you did looks like high-low guard from the Gracie Jiu Jitsu curriculum. Now that I’ve seen you do it, I feel more confident about drilling that and the other sweeps/reversals you demonstrated. Thanks!

This is exactly what I need to try against my 300lbs training partner. Thanks Chad! Just found the channel.

[@macaroon1580]

Just a thing I noticed about the first one, since your turning away from them, they could just take your back. In my 4 year BJJ experience, all my coaches have told me not to turn away from them.

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Macaroon15 that is not always true. This rule is for beginners but not an experienced grappler.

[@VestigialHead]

Interesting escapes. One question when you initially rotate the opponent posts. Why would an experienced grappler post in a competition situation. Just put your head on the ground and maintain the hold you had. This will likely block these type of escapes and will not hurt the opponent as it is a mat he is hitting. On the street this would be a bad idea as you would headbutt concrete.

[@bardslee]

Where's the first escape in particular what stops him going to Mount or tactical mount

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

If you capture the arm correctly they will fall in to closed guard. If done incorrectly you will get mounted or your back taken. Thanks for the comment Edward!

[@lumiii_-]

These techs should be white belt prerequisite moves, they're SO GOOD 🔥 game changer for sure :)

[@ChadtheBeastHardy]

Thanks for the comment Adam!

[@Fortnitekid1427-o5k]

I’m a white belt , I’m sure there’s a name for this, I seem to be successful when stuck or becoming stuck in side control, in overhooking the head, framing the gut, and rolling driving towards their tucked /wrenched head, puts me on top in side control, never really taught this, just felt right in a backyard wrestling type of way lol. It seems to work 90% of time on all sizes and belts. Becoming my go to, bc it almost always works. I’d be interested to know what it’s called

Great techniques, you do give him that small window of transitioning to mount when you turn into him but I guess it's a battle of who's fastest at that point?

Rabby yup, that is the battle sometimes! Usually if they step over I can continue to roll. But if I get stuck I switch back to the foot slide technique.
