Fix Your BJJ Mount Escape with These Step-by-Step Position Tips

[@goosenik2219]

It's the small things that really make it work, and you never just gloss over them expecting them to be obvious. You're a great instructor, thanks for the videos

[@michaeldeblieux8511]

Just learned last class, that you want to keep your arms on the inside when they have you in full mount. I was bad about trying to hug them and keep them close, my instructor told me last night, “your making it worse when you hug”. I realized I was actually helping them put more weight on myself by “hugging”. I like how you call it the white belt hug, because that’s what I am and that’s exactly what I was doing. I’m excited for next class, makes sense why I was so out of breath when I get mounted. Thanks.

[@DonTHEhandsome1]

I like this type of instruction. At first all the different techniques are overwhelming. I never find myself in the specific position to use the techniques I learn or my partner never reacts the way I wanted. These simple rules or flows help remind us how to roll while effectively while we learn and drill all the techniques we are learning on the side.

i just try that last night and it worked ! thank you

Mount and side control are my biggest problems I get a little claustrophobic and panic but this tutorial helps a heap thanks chewy

[@counterkidnapping1737]

Which one do you hate? Being mounted or side mounted?

[@love2fight205]

@@counterkidnapping1737 To be honest for me side control is harder to escape as when I'm mounted I can usually catch a leg and go to half guard

Hey, thanks for helping me get off my ass and start doing BJJ. Chewjitsu for life! Great vids

[@marcusdarnell3348]

Thanks chewy! This will really help my game!

[@eddiemounce5234]

Hi Chew, thanks for the video. You mentioned that once your arms are tight and inside near his waist it's very hard to be submitted. But every time I make a frame and use my elbow/wrists near his waist level, he just goes for the chokes and forces me to bring my arms back up high to defend the choke. What am I doing wrong?

[@Crystals10000]

thanks for accepting my request chewjitsu this is the thing i struggle with most is escaping grapevines with an arm isolated my actual mount escapes are quite good its just that specific control against guys similar to my size that was a problem for me this is more or less what i was referring to so this is much appreciated

[@artemthetrain14]

Hey Chewy, my coach always says to never hook the foot with the grapevines... Cuz when the bottom guy starts to escape, it can put massive pressure on your ACL. Thoughts?

[@jonathancourtney1645]

only if you're injury prone, i love grapevines.

The best mount escape and easiest I have ever been taught and done on guys who were 200 lbs+ on top of me is the Trap and Roll taught to me by the Gracies.

[@FR-ty5vn]

Great 👍🏼 tips - Danaher calls that movement the rising shrimp 🦐 - love the rash guards - they say DC MMA on the back?

[@olliec9096]

Can you talk about nogi chokes with someone in your guard? I find myself only seeing arm bars but there has to be chokes too

[@ekul7894]

triangle

[@love2fight205]

Gogoplata from rubber guard, guillotine, triangle, maybe even head and arm choke if you're a beefy strong person. I usually just sweep and work my top game.

[@impulsive1252]

Mainly guilliotines, triangles and quite a few more complicated chokes from the rubber guard.

[@KDONeal1]

I'd geek out if I saw this dude

[@blindassassin8553]

Awesome! Chewy. How do you get out of knee mount or What if someone has you flattened on your back and they're in dive bomber mount (their feet locked under your ass and hips, their balancing on and extending their hips into you, their hands are pinning yours)

[@grimluck1]

So how do we get a hold of those rash guards?

[@vibegodcartel]

Chewi, You should do a video about how it feels for a beginner to watch a Brown or Black Belt Demo. Nietzsche has a great quote that explains it... "And if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes back into you."

[@Quarkss]

Damn that’s “white belt hug” felt personal

[@lonewolfcarper90]

Anyone have any tips for avoiding cramps in your upper legs while rolling? It happens every time I roll and to be honest it's embarrassing having to stop because of it. I'm always fully hydrated and do some stretches some I'm not sure why it keeps happening. It's always the same leg same spot also

[@mawhinney2.196]

Hey Chewster, any tips for guarding against a standing opponent in no Gi?

[@Chewjitsu]

Mawhinney 2.1 how do you mean?

[@mawhinney2.196]

A better way to describe it would be the initial phase in rolling, when both me and my opponent are going at each other, I would always try to initially control their hips with my feet, and in doing this I concede side control, and from there it's an uphill battle

[@BrikBeans]

Who is this Mr.LankyTrunkArms over there. "FRANK" EH. YOU GOT logs for arms FRANK! 😎 Respect.

[@phil5514]

My gym drills techniques, but we never do them against someone who is resisting. Any suggestions or thoughts?

[@cmilter6360]

Do you not spar at your club?

[@phil5514]

C Milter no

[@mawhinney2.196]

One of the main strengths of BJJ is that you can roll without receiving a major injury, I would have a look around your gym to see if it's a BJJ gym/school, or a gym that offers BJJ inspired workouts. Then from there, you can make a decision about how you want to proceed. It would be very strange for a BJJ school to not encourage rolling.

[@thedreamteam4u]

Chewy or all....So tonight I rolled with black belts and brown and purple belts... I held my own Even catching a few submissions until I gassed out from working all day ( digging ditches) when I started gassing out and I knew they clearly could toy with me I purposely put myself in bad positions at my worst moments like made them go knee on belly or told them to take my back and make me fight when I can't really push the pace... What do you think is that the correct approach ?

[@miwuksniper]

If I put my arms inside I get cross collar chocked. Do you think this works best for NoGi?

[@youngrevival9715]

I hate knee on belly. But I know theres submissions when you try and defend. I just get stuck

I always get cross collar choked when making my frame. I think I’m moving too slow escape.

[@stephenforbes2762]

ask your instructor why this is happening. In my experience, I would not try to frame the hips if the top person gets a hand in my collar. Instead I would be switching escapes to the upa.

[@MrFreakinAwesome20]

@@stephenforbes2762 upa ?

[@MrFreakinAwesome20]

And yes same . Alot of times I am afraid to hip escape when they are attacking my neck . And if that happens I opt for a trap and roll which obviously isnt the first choice because you usually end up in closed guard .

[@stephenforbes2762]

@@MrFreakinAwesome20 upa is the same as bridge and roll

[@AnimalShorts97-m5h]

Are exams necessary for bjj ranks, if you don't get it are you not worthy of your rank, or belt.

[@love2fight205]

There are no belt exams in any BJJ gym I've seen, some may do it though. Every gym I've been in just promotes based on your performance and attitude in class and at tournaments. Safe rolling to you sir/madam!
