These details are fantastic. Game changing details - even for the viewers who have been escaping the mount for a long time!

[@mcamp467]

Time Stamps: Traditional; 4:50 (opponent evenly distributes weight) Alternate; 6:53 (opponent counters making trapped leg heavy)

[@jerkov420]

So far Lachlan has the clearest instructionals out there. This is amazing (imitating Bernardo Faria's voice)

[@thylabyrinth]

Lachlan has a unique gift for communicating the finesse of BJJ in a clear and understandable way. Everything he shows makes perfect sense and is taught in logical steps for better retention. These videos are much more valuable to beginners than the dozens of "X moves a white belt should know" videos out there.

[@Marcnshae2011]

You are so detailed when you coach bjj it is amazing! When I study via KZbin, then try to apply what I have learned in live rolls, it is very hit or miss. Unless Lachlan taught it.... Success rate is like 90%. Thank you!

[@DoJoStan]

The details are fantastic, I love how he explained the different variations as well.

[@bencunningham1548]

I honestly think you do the best instructionals on KZbin. I Missed you seminar last time you visited Ireland, I'll make sure not to miss your next one. Keep up the amazing work !!

[@Jonesislearning]

Gold

[@mrtravelhub4313]

Yes, he is the man

[@EarlB.-id8iy]

He is actually giving his right arm.. that can be a good arm bar or maybe Kimura, all you have to is know how to escape those 2 locks and ur good to go. Great coaching Btw! i learned a lot here❤

[@Jimmy_jpeg]

Truly excellent instruction. The internet is the best.

[@levistubbs7505]

This guy is an amazing instructor.. Well explained video.. Thank you sir.. Oosss

[@frowlandong2207]

Thanks for sharing this tecniques, very helpful.

[@joshuasolomon296]

Really love the detail about the placement of the free hand on the inner thigh frame.

[@mcdonnellbobcat]

Great details , especially framing

[@dougreviewstheuniverse9082]

Love these details.

[@andregoncalves5873]

Great instructor!

[@psyience3213]

That's a really good series

[@Chinekeh]

Man thank you for explaining this.

[@chasingmypinnacle]

Beautiful!

[@JoseTorres-yi4yc]

Awesome. Thank you

[@riverdeep399]

Useful. Thank you.

[@AKGfitness]

This video is gold

[@devinloveridge6805]

Beautiful ty so much for making this free

[@fuzzyhair321]

i tend to bridge and buck to get a hip escape and take the top. obviously this wont work against blue and higher so its nice to see different escapes

[@ukaszb5694]

This is great for a beginner trying to survive the mount :)

[@andresguillermotoledoortiz5946]

Great video

[@markhill8150]

Great as always Mr. Giles.

[@MatthijsvanDoesburg]

Retweet.

[@Terminatortx33]

I like this guy - this guy is good.

[@PhyllisLiao]

Fantastic

[@Smurfomatic]

Every time i try to get on my side to start pushing their knee, they head to my back. I'll try to concentrate on my elbow blocking their hip.

[@georgemakary5127]

This man is a genius

[@Aaron-id8ue]

Question: I see that Lachlan is good at keeping on his side and his framing arm/shoulder off the mat. Several times I find myself getting my shoulders flattened to the mat when I attempt an elbow escape. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to elevate my framing arm/shoulder off the mat without 1) getting flattened easily or 2) exposing my back too much by elevating too much? (the details in this are fantastic!)

[@akashpaulkar1684]

Nice

[@vladx3539]

best scape video ever

[@trevor-indreklasn6596]

Does this escape have a name too? Thanks!

[@groundfighter2375]

Best intsruction on youtube

[@RobMcIntyre]

question: so we worked this technique in class with your working of the leg out so the can't hide it etc BUT when we drilled mount only rolling we all slide up to side mount straight away. My professor always said if you do this extra move (he just hooks leg where it is without pushing it out with the knee) then the person on top will know it is coming and move up to side mount and that is what happened. Are we doing something wrong? is there a way to avoid their transition to side mount? Thanks heaps for the video, any advice you can offer would be awesome

[@jurianbijman2972]

For the arm where the hand is on the left hip, the elbow has to be flaired up a little so its in front of the right hipbone. This way it should be really hard for them to move up to side mount.

[@RobMcIntyre]

@@jurianbijman2972 thank you yes, I had a closer look at what was happening and problem solved and found that as well. Oss

[@Allanrpsx]

Moving from mount to side mount is moving from a superior position to an inferior position. You should not be concerned if your opponent opts to worsen their positional advantage. If all it takes for them to do that is a weak threat such as trying to hook the leg without any control over it, then all the better

[@RobMcIntyre]

@@Allanrpsx thank you

[@neyravillarreal7673]

🔥🔥🔥

[@zpt5394]

Is it better to frame than shoot for the underhook on the escape?

[@psyience3213]

That should be a matter pf preference. A lot of guys like that knee shield in half guard. Personally I've been working the old school sweep so i feel comfortable diving for the underhook and shoving my arm under the legs.

[@brandonmcninja]

Excellent Deets. 👏

[@phillipgets3417]

What's about opponents punch

[@NoBody-ro3xj]

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu detail you wrap around them with the other hand and stay close

[@FujiSyuusuke94]

What if your opponent has a low build and heavier than you by about 10kgs..and is sitting on you completely (full body weight on you) at mid to high mount position..

[@FujiSyuusuke94]

I've just recently been in that situation and I was unable to move my hips at all.. Nevermind that he is continuously adjusting and controlling my wrists and shoulders that I can't use my hands at all..

[@FujiSyuusuke94]

Also he wasn't trying to submit me at all.. He just wanted to prove that I'm helpless against him if he sits on me.. Lol.. And truth be told, after trying for a while I tapped out from having trouble just breathing with all that weight on me

[@MrSaurus]

Late but if they are completely sitting on you, you should be able to bridge and knock them off balance.

[@1deaver]

​@@MrSaurusknees up , heels digging into floor, use one knee to push partners back driving him forward , bridging, holding the high bridge, trap the partners arm as he should have no choice but to base, UPA.

[@nilimadhore5742]

But my opponent just locks me so tight and i cant move at all

[@marshallfelter2414]

Let’s see, take notes, write a book , take a nap and basically an escape? 😂

[@t-bone7988]

Nice mix of men and women there

[@teki7016]

The only problem when your opponent is reacting with elbows and punching your face.

[@NoBody-ro3xj]

Which the detail to stop that is to hug the opponent with your other arm

[@anduong6595]

Elbow escape!!Gracie combatives :-p

[@sensei9295]

In the first "frame" the guy on top merely needs to pop the elbow up and the tricep is JUST as exposed and the guy on the bottom is in MORE trouble than if he hadn't gifted the arm bar to his opponent because his arm is now in a weaker position and he is giving his opponent the second gift of bringing his shoulder closer to the guy on top, speeding the arm bar and making defense nearly impossible!

[@qhurbagha8474]

The guy on top is not punching you in the face I guess.

[@craigplantbasedconditionin4011]

Observant

[@dvak2494]

? What if you are mounted in real hand to hand combat & your taking damage to face/ head/ neck ? By the way, great video.

[@kybalion848]

Poop your pants, the smell will make the attacker go away.

[@simonyadig]

This is a sport JJ mount escape. You'd need to learn a self defense method.

[@cozybanez2858]

Damian Vann don’t get mounted 💯

[@BarbellMethod]

Interesting- solid framing advice for Jitsu sport but totally exposes you to unguarded pummeling, no?

[@BunchofHappiness]

Better than Galvaos stupid strong man move that relies on upper body strength

[@Mike55856]

Algorithm

[@yohancedawson4095]

Arm trap and roll less struggling

[@AntonioJunior_]

But its way hard as hell to trap the arm without exposing something else

[@cozybanez2858]

yohance dawson arm trap and roll is a very low percentage move against an experienced opponent or someone bigger than you 💯

[@salahibrahim633]

All these techniques its enifficace in street fight

[@thereplicantmusic187]

Bro, learn English
