Escaping the Mount with a BIGGER Person (BJJ/Jiu-Jitsu/Grappling)

[@austmo516]

Im new to jiujitsu, this has been a huge help in class. I've had a really high success rate with it. Thank you

[@frankdamelio6721]

You make a great point. When dealing with a bigger and stronger opponent, these minor adjustments have major benefits. Well done!

[@ronaldspotts9316]

Excellent instruction. This is becoming one of my favorite channels for studying ways to clean up and make my technique more efficient.

[@bzglick]

Great to hear - thank you for watching!

[@MrStrikeforce1987]

Really liked it. It would be awesome to see you demonstrating your teaching in a live roll. Not being ungrateful of course. I’m very thankful, just an idea

[@bzglick]

It’s coming 👍🏼

Capturing their knee! Not that everything else I had perfectly, but this point was very helpful. You have an excellent body of work here and a wonderful resource for us. Thank you!

Very helpful 👌

Amazing details. I usually try the foot trap into half but have never used it to go higher to the knee then switch. Love it.

[@bzglick]

Awesome - thanks

[@카심의주짓수기록]

I really appreciate the detail of moving your partner's foot/heel outside the line of his knee as part of the escape setup. I would love to see more videos like this focusing on techniques when your partner is bigger/stronger. Thank you Professor Glick!

[@bzglick]

No problem - we're working on them :)

I was playing around with this technique today. A lot of great details, thank you so much for this free content.

Awesome

[@senseicole85]

Wow! Thank you for the extra detail.

[@bzglick]

You got it ;)

[@nbt1420]

Thank you Professor for another technical jewel. Cleaning up my mechanics for this will be a challenge but will be so satisfying when it clicks. Continue on...Osss!!!

[@bzglick]

Excellent! Thanks for your support 😊

[@saadbenchalal935]

awesome details, please keep them coming

Thanks, will do!

[@chrismoloney285]

This technique will be very useful to me, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for watching :)

[@cameroon95]

Hi Brian, do you have any videos on the counter to the crosship post from bottom partner in mount or half guard? Its a good escape and becoming the bane of my life!!!

[@bzglick]

Hmm, maybe…what are they doing after the post?

[@jackburton7300]

Thanks for the great video. I would love to see how you address someone immediately going for a choke in mount. Thanks!

[@jackburton7300]

Since you are dropping hands to build the frame. Thanks!

[@bzglick]

It's important to combine these mechanics with a movement like the bridge as a way of upsetting their balance 👍

[@fishersteven8900]

Awesome channel 👍 keep it coming its improving my Jiu Jitsu game big time🥋

Great to hear, thanks 😊

I feel like I could listen to him explain jujitsu all day. I think our minds work similarly.

[@klintondemarco5591]

Boss details 👌

[@coreydrum7956]

awesome video, I try to recapture the leg,however i would just randomly try and dig under it so i'm glad i now have a system. quick question, i find most big guys tend to go for either forearm on neck pressure to make me open my arms up or they go straight for something like a no-gi ezekiel. in this case would you just retreat one hand to relieve pressure/defend the choke?

[@bzglick]

Yes it’s important to always address an urgent submission threat, then go back to your escape 👌🏼

[@bigturbob7356]

Great video, a dilemma I often run into when rolling with someone about 50lbs heavier than me is when they are in mount they will at times grape vine their feet under my legs making it difficult to get my knee to the floor. When they do this, they aren't cross facing me but have both arms out beyond the top of my head and are posted on the floor. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

[@bzglick]

Start by clearing the hooks: kick your legs straight, then go into your escape 👍🏼

[@bigturbob7356]

@@bzglick thank you Brian, you’re an ace.

[@parms350]

Hey Brian, do you find it difficult performing a bridge/rising shrimp(in danaher's escaping fundamentals dvd) in mount to get the knee into inside position on bigger opponents(ending up in half butteryfly than half guard)? I find it hard maintaining the rising shrimp cause of weight. Someone with similar build or small, the technique works fine due to attributes. Its only when I am dealing with stronger and bigger opponents maintaining the rising shimp difficult, so I default to the escape you describe in this video. I find maybe I should be more explosive with the bridge in sparring to make it work. I find I am too slow and methodical doing the rising shrimp, I cant elevate them enough to get the knee in half butterfly to create space. Let me know what you think and ty.

[@bzglick]

Strong bridges are tiring - all the more with a heavier partner. Once key is to gain space incrementally rather than all at once and using the bridge for micro-adjustments. I'd say that if the method you're using to progressively trap the leg is working, stick with it and keep looking for ways to refine it as you work on the rising shrimp.

[@tomasmatta1419]

Great details. I wonder if there are any details that change in the gi.

[@bzglick]

A few - you have to account for collar grips with the gi

[@tomasmatta1419]

@@bzglick makes sense. Thanks!

[@thechaddad1609]

Why do these "escape X position with a larger person" videos always show the technique with a smaller person?

[@senseisambo]

Me like!!!

[@bzglick]

Great!

[@michaelaristidou2605]

Ok videos, but too scholastic and boring. Bjj videos should be less than 2 min.
