I attended a seminar with the PSF guys when they where in Scotland a few years ago. Heath`s teaching style is top tier, I have been to plenty of seminars where you can be shown something really cool but you never try it again. I use the stuff from that seminar every week.

[@heathpedigo1754]

Thanks so much. I put everything I can into those things to try and leave people with something that they are excited to work with and improve themselves and their team. Means the world!

[@ClwnJuNkY]

BJ pen showed this years ago . Brilliant technique

[@heathpedigo1754]

I've seen him do it a few times against some of the best bigger stronger guys to create space. Thanks so much and good memory!!!

[@jg1000c]

Heath is so polite responding to these comments.

[@jeremymartinez6309]

Just wanted to say I have been waiting for this exact side control escape. I remember a black belt hitting this on me in a random open mat and I never realised where he was gripping on my gi. I always thought it must’ve been some lapel wizardry but this actually works against an opponent that is adamant on purely holding you down with a hard cross face (yes there are always counters to every move but you can use this against most aggressive opponents). Thanks Heath all the way from 🇦🇺

[@heathpedigo1754]

Man thanks so much Jeremy! I was able to compare notes with a multiple time black belt world champion and we actually came up with this thought to start using it when you are flat and have exhausted simple traditional escapes. Have had a lot of success with it creating space for other escapes that were exhausted before doing it as well. I hope it helps your game!

[@raymondrhodes]

Love what Pedigo and the team are doing. I'm up here in Iowa, i feel so close but far away wish i could.make it down there.

[@heathpedigo1754]

Come train and hang with us anytime!!

[@anurruti]

Incorporating white belts to show and do is phenomenal because it makes the technique more real.

[@UnskilledGrappler]

Like some of the other people in the comments, I’m inclined to react with a great deal of skepticism to this, because it seems to violate a number of fundamental principles of good positional defense. Of course, like Mr. Pedigo says, it’s hard to argue with the results. His team is very successful. This is where I think of something that Andrew Wiltse said in one of his videos. He talked about how he would rather learn directly from high-level competitors than from coaches like John Dannaher, etc. It’s not that the coach doesn’t know his stuff. It’s just that the competitor will probably distill things down to the most effective versions as a result of his experience.

[@momopeebles7238]

But all John's students are successful???

[@heathpedigo1754]

Interesting fact. Andrew Wiltse started Jiu-Jitsu with me and lived in my gym. He was promoted from white belt to black be belt by me. Just kind of a funny coincidence. Sometimes traditional escapes just don't work when you've fell so behind that you are flat and at major risk. This is for that specific situation. I'm not a strong person, but it help create space when there are no other options. I would use a simpler escaping or re-guarding technique if it were just that easy. Making an instructional of a bunch of things that only work on someone you have more experience than just wasn't really my thing. This is to compete, grow and evolve faster against the best people in your room and get you results for whatever journey you're upon. I appreciate you watching Jo Ph I hope you get to check out the last couple videos Bernardo put up as well. Would love your thoughts on them as well!

[@UnskilledGrappler]

@@heathpedigo1754 Thanks for the reply! I knew that Andrew was your boy. I’ve watched most of his content and quite a bit of other Daisy Fresh stuff. I’m an admirer to say the least. I’ll keep my eyes open for those videos and comment if I have something to say that doesn’t sound too idiotic. 🙊

[@heathpedigo1754]

@Jo Ph I'm constantly learning and really enjoy hearing people's thoughts so I thank you brother!

[@2008israelramos]

I've done this before and I always thought I wasn't using enough technique. Now I can feel good about it.

[@momopeebles7238]

Don't. Your relying on strength. And that when they feel you pushing they won't squeeze harder. No technique.

[@heathpedigo1754]

Sometimes traditional escapes just don't work when you've fell so behind that you are flat and at major risk. This is for that specific situation. I'm not a strong person, but it help create space when there are no other options. Don't let people derail you from doing anything that works. If it works for you do it. If it doesn't, learn it, know it and make sure it doesn't get done to you. You're the man Israel!

[@jacket2848]

​@@momopeebles7238only morons tell people not to use their strength. That's a bonus they have, and likely worked hard to be strong. Nobody says "don't use your speed" but they always complain about strong people 😂 copium

[@momopeebles7238]

@@jacket2848 I think the point most people are trying to make is to make your game as universal as possible. To do the most moves without that. So when your instincts kick in. You will do something that is based on you not your opponent. And moron is a strong word. And maybe the person is a female going against a male. Come on my guy

[@rollinOnCode]

eh.... not really sure about this. i am not a huge fan of relying on like arm strength especially just triceps. it can also be iffy at times about getting such a grip on the back of their gi...

[@heathpedigo1754]

Being pinned and overwhelmed in side control is very frustrating. Sometimes traditional escapes just don't work when you've fell so far behind that you are flat and at major risk. This is for that specific situation. I'm not a strong person, but it helps create space when there are no other options. Think about your arms like a car jack or when you're holding the weight on the bench press with your elbows locked out. Once they're locked they can momentarily hold much more weight/ pressure. This is when letting go with one arm would give you a small amount of room to get your arms underneath, activated and back into the fight. Again, I don't show alot of traditional things on the instructional. Not because they don't work but because we need more options to create angles to assist are other go to escapes etc. At the end of the day, try it and try to make it work. If it doesn't work, learn it and make sure it doesn't get done to you. I sure do appreciate you watching and commenting either way. Much appreciated.

[@puresourcenaturals2374]

I thought that was Jeff Bezos for a second

[@heathpedigo1754]

lol maybe the looks but def not the$$😂

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

Looks like a pummel option with a guard replacement. Very nice technique.

[@szsori]

It's almost like the ghost escape, but in reverse. Love this as an option and will definitely be seeing if it works for me. As an aside, I've heard amazing things about Heath as a coach and PSF as a family from a friend (Mach) that recently started training there. There's something to be said for not only being dominant on the mat, but also being genuinely good people.

[@heathpedigo1754]

[@joshmurdock8038]

I saw this and thought it would be good to find "Big Luke" and start by just drilling it live without telling him what was up. Worked like a charm.

[@dimitardobrev3296]

How to apply this in no gi where i see gripping clothes is not allowed? I get stuck under my coach in side control and would love to apply this idea.

[@nuechternheit]

Does it work against the crossface from side control that Heath shows in the other video?

[@heathpedigo1754]

Angles against frames is a good someone mentioned but that would need elaborated on.... to be more precise....remember we are in a situation where we have been pinned and exhausted traditional escapes or better yet, we are stuck and have no options. Continuing to try the same thing and getting nowhere is beyond frustrating. This movement allows you to create space not only to attempt to get your arm in but move more freely underneath your opponent.... that being said.... think about your arm that is staying posted as a car jack holding up a car to change the tire or you holding up the weight on a bench press. Once the elbow is locked the weight is much easier to hold up. This gives you momentary movement to get your arm on your chest to create more space or even to use your traditional escapes if more comfortable. Of course in Jiu-Jitsu even when we do things correctly if you wait until you are at the end of a submission or horrible position it changes the rules a bit. I do believe it will help alleviate the pressure and give you time which is worth its wait in gold when being smashed and making a new plan lol. Give that a try and see if it helps!

[@blumpkinspicelatte4580]

So basically a normal side control escape? I thought this was going to be some new, mindblowing, innovative technique.

[@james.randorff]

Instruction begins at 4:40

[@springgun]

As soon as I let go off one hand to go underneath the opponent's chest, wouldn't the opponent fall back down on my chest as my lifting power is reduced? How can I avoid that? Thanks

[@jay_who]

Use angles to beat frames

[@alyssondasilva4484]

it's basically your triceps vs his back PLUS biceps PLUS gravity and leg driving into you. That doesn't seem too easy. But I'm gonna try it anyways.

[@zafarhashmi2170]

It is not really his back and biceps. When you are in drop side control you are more hugging than pulling yourself onto him. The only way you can pull yourself down is if you had something to hold on to on the floor.

[@alyssondasilva4484]

@@zafarhashmi2170 when you hug/squeeze someone, you're basically pulling them towards you using mainly your trapezius tô retract the scapulae, bíceps and back shoulders

[@alyssondasilva4484]

@@zafarhashmi2170 come to think of It.... you could hug/squeeze them inwards using your chest, but that wouldn't be too useful to mantain top side control and It would be a weird hug

[@zafarhashmi2170]

@@alyssondasilva4484 When you are hugging / squeezing it is more like a pec deck / dumbell fly motion. When you are in side control top are thinking more squeeze them or pull them to you? When you retract your shoulder blades you are pulling back hard but the squeezing muscles chest is not activated much.

This did not work for me. Gap unsuccessful for my hand to slide under. I'll rewatch this. That and I might have to join a gym..😄

[@davidvincent3959]

Who does side control like this with all of your weight on your knees?! I plank out on my toes and push in to the side of the ribs. All my weight on the bottom person.

[@beluga3912]

Wdym it's called a 4 point side control the way you do it would just get you swept

[@chcknpie04]

Super easy to slide the knee in when you plank

[@heathpedigo1754]

David if this were the case we would attempt first to use all of the traditional escapes to get back to a guard. This is for when you are stuck in side control and have exhausted your options. You should give it a try it may be something you can add a piece of to your game. Thanks for watching!

[@anthonyflores8156]

This is not new we learn this as a white belt at my academy

[@metemontana3603]

Okay guys 😅

[@chcknpie04]

Why would you ever bring white vents with you to shoot one of these??

[@heathpedigo1754]

It's a video for white belts or people going over things again to evolve fundamentals specifically. I can do the move on another experienced person and they'll get it quite easy I'm sure. Bringing the white belts and teaching them to do it would be like teaching the same people at home. They have similar movements and questions. It's easier for them to relate to them than someone who can already do it precisely. It's important to me if they purchase the instructional that's it's an investment they can be happy with and put use to effectively.

[@ChokeArtist411]

Great way to gas yourself

[@heathpedigo1754]

Remember this is a position for when you have tried your traditional escapes and you are flat, behind and stuck. We have had great success with this opening spaces where people are exhausted with no options. Thanks for watching Chris, I appreciate you.

[@dondoe401]

Never bench press. Keep your friends close and elbows closer.

[@heathpedigo1754]

Don, what would you advise if you have exhausted the traditional escapes (I'm sure at the early in your grappling career before becoming where you are now you had early troubles as a beginner) and you are completely flat, overwhelmed and unable to move your opponent? This is quite different from a bench press but I understand your comment. Looking forward to hearing and learning I would love to add it to the high level competitions for my guys. If they've had amazing success with this I'm sure whatever you're doing could really help us! I appreciate you watching and commenting. Thanks Don!

First of all, no good BJJ practitioner leaves that much space. Usually the arm is wedged tight. Second, if im trying to lift a large guy off my using weak technique like that, while he's using strong squeezing, he's going to win. This is rediculous... not to mention submission give aways with arms stretching out like that

[@heathpedigo1754]

I appreciate you watching and your opinions on the position. We've had amazing success with it and it majorly opened up spaces to help the traditional escapes become more effective when you are stuck, frustrated and have nowhere to go. Again, I do appreciate you watching though!

[@brandonpemberton5707]

"Youve never seen..?" ive seen this technique every time ive seen a white belt under cross side for the first time🥴. I dont care what the credentials. This is poor technique. If you want to know why this is not traditionally taught as fundamental tell Faria to take his jacket off, then try it. Imagine doing this to Wiltse, or Craig Jones and not getting your arm taken immediately..

[@heathpedigo1754]

Interesting enough Andrew Wiltse is my student and has been from White Belt and lived in my gym all the way until I promoted him to black belt. This funny enough was one of his best escapes from side and half guard in his early open weight divisions. Have a good day Brandon and thank you for watching.
