Hip Escape Hacks!

[@ncooty]

Next trick for me: remembering your advice _when_ I need it rather than _just_ after. :)

[@PrincePram16]

ncooty glad I’m not the only one 😆

[@j.bernard752]

Right??? When it counts and my mind goes completely blank🤣

[@charmed479]

The pull them down tip was like one of those 'ofcourse' moments, such a simple move that makes soo much sense but never dawned on me, always been pushing them away. Cheers!!

[@joefondu]

You have a good formula of practical technique, that's explained clearly and efficiently, with a good attitude. I'm really Impressed. Thank you for creating this content.

[@weslawless2386]

I'm a physio and this works because of ours brain motor planning a response to certain stimuli. If you're on top and are being pulled in, subconsciously the motor ( muscle) planning response is lessened making it more possible to create distance, for the person on bottom with a quick push after pulling. Confuses the brains motor planning response. Very effective, thanks!

Great info! (-: Tom Davey

[@whateveritwasitis]

this is the only rational answer. by pulling and assisting his force your not able to gauge what force your applying for one and if you stop giving this your focus for one second your going to let up without thinking about it. you just need that 1/8th of a second lapse between the brain figuring out whats going on and sending the signal; that lapse between higher cortex functioning and the primitive brain. im sure theres some science tricks out there some science teacher knows or professor that illustrates this. someday someone will post it.

Coach Tom. Im 49 years old and just started bjj. Watching your tutorials has helped me no end.. im rolling with young guys in their twenties and thirties and much fitter and stronger than me. I cant submit them yet but they cant submit me either so i class that as a big win for me. Cheers coach.!

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

So great to hear Daniel! I am glad you are enjoying your bjj journey and keeping those young guns honest! Have fun on those mats (-: Coach Tom Davey

I started last year at 54 y.o. When my wrestling son graduated high school he turned to Jujitsu. I joined him and we've had nothing short of a blast working and training together! Even though I'm older my body has responded well and I'm in great shape thanks to rolling 4-5 times a week. Now when everyone is asleep I turn off Netflix and turn on The Grappling Academy videos!

[@Abbassis15]

i think it works because psychologically when u pull them in first they naturally start to oppose the movement by pushing slightly up, thus when u proceed to push after the original pull; you have your opponents momentum on your side

[@marcusjones9279]

It a mental thing not a medical. I love this thank you

[@batmanwayne4977]

Your tips just made this whole escape thing click. .. I'll try it on the mats now

[@folumb]

Thanks coach Tom! I've been so frustrated with side control as a white belt, I haven't been able to escape it despite elbow placement and shrimp technique, but I've been leveraging incorrectly the whole time!

[@crzabjj]

“I don’t know why electricity works either” 😂😂👍. Great tips. Honestly. I feel like I am ahead of the curve in my BJJ classes as a result of watching (and re-watching) videos like these. Thank you!!

[@erikeaster8467]

Thanks so much from Colorado! Helped a ton 🙌

[@TheLodiB]

[@rodneyjacobs3839]

[@ryansevern8828]

[@daveclifford7895]

Excellent video coach Tom , this is much needed thank you 👊

[@justinjex1]

Magic. Its as simple as that. Thats why it works.

[@MindTrigger]

thank god i came across this video .. appreciate it

[@tariktyler]

The pulling in hard and then releasing works before you activate the stretch reflex mechanism in the muscles that cause a deep contraction and a subsequent relaxation. From a more scientific perspective it's : The Golgi tendon reflex is a normal component of the reflex arc of the peripheral nervous system. In a Golgi tendon reflex, skeletal muscle contraction causes the antagonist muscle to simultaneously lengthen and relax

[@whateveritwasitis]

tip 2# just might be a game changer for me. we will find out tonight in class lol

[@pingwinson369]

Brilliant!

[@jikeunpark3529]

Thank you for your tips from South Korea XD

[@mh5701]

You have some great hacks Coach Tom. I've had the pleasure pulling them off during my rolls and get some positive input afterwards. 💯😎👍 By the way I am glad you pointed out that both your legs are the same length. For a moment I thought how am I gonna do that... my legs aren't different lengths. 😂😆😂

[@user-nr2kb3mw8i]

Like pulling them into you is kinda like pulling the slack out of the bar for a deadlift?

[@andrewkim6037]

Shrimpin aint easy, but it’s nec-es-sary!

[@Titanium516]

Awesome, pull them down

[@chrismcguinness5405]

[@piggybank9899]

Reeeeeeeseeeeee i had to watch your classics that the only way i can see u

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

nothing weird about this...…...(-: Tom Davey

[@guitarfan84]

Brilliant

[@l.d.tjonathan5101]

yooo this is so fkn good

[@carzoparazzo9698]

That is my problem, I have a purple belt that as soon as he see that I can recover he switch to the other side very fast and I cant stop it

[@MrBenkidd]

Wish I’d known this for the last 10 months

[@kajalgharib1222]

I tried this to a heavier lady, but it did not work for me ! Any tip? Thanks

[@TheGrapplingAcademy]

Practice and repeat. Escaping is never easy. IT should ne hard or impossible otherwise bjj wouldn't work! Happy rolling (-: Tom Davey

[@xroth4855]

In original video i think it said hold for 10 secs before pushing up ? I’ve only tried this once (fail but I was too quick to push I think ) Will try tomorrow again .

[@petercharalampopoulos7180]

no you shouldn't escape

[@hectorjames616]

Why do I have BJJ amnesia 😩

[@rajjoshi8022]

Great tips, but I assume you need to keep scrambling as top man isn't going to not react.
