How to Escape when Pinned Down | Ground Survival

What happens when a bigger person is on top of you pinning your wrists to the ground? This is easily the number one position I get asked about at every one of my self defense seminars; both by women and men. With that said, here is a simple approach to that situation.

"goddamn, you are sweaty, man" 💀💀

I like how simple and applicable this drill is. Not overly complicated - something a person could practice easily

[@staysafemartialarts]

Thank you!! Obviously there are a lot of different scenarios that could happen from this position, but this is a simple approach that I like to start with from here. I will probably show some more advanced ones down the road

I’ve had ex boyfriends do this to me and it a horrible experience, thanks for the technique 👍

bro did not get the message 😂

[@edwardcheong3060]

Excellent advice. Just gotta stay cool and remember the moves.

[@notme4180]

Thank you so much for the video! It was very helpful.

[@UserX03]

I want to see it reversed with the instructor, who is much bigger, doing the pinning. The smaller guy isn’t going to be able to do any of that.

[@JayKhwaja]

Brilliant 👍

[@Snake-snek]

What do you do if you aren't physically strong enough to flip them over? Like say he is a lot heavier than you? Thanks so much, this was super well explained and informative

[@staysafemartialarts]

Your technique has to be perfect. Sucks to hear but that is the truth. If someone is bigger or stronger, your strength will not help you much so you have to nail the technique. I will be doing an updated video on this soon!

[@StephenSmith-if3zj]

Very cool. We teach a different escape from that hold. But I've never seen that approach. Like having options. Thanks!

[@staysafemartialarts]

Thanks! What is your approach?

[@StephenSmith-if3zj]

@@staysafemartialarts we call it double fake. As you pointed out, you can't press their hands up, but we "attempt" it - fake pushing up, getting them to push down. As they do that we shoot arms straight above our head putting them in same position as if you'd bucked them. Then, fake bucking on 45 degree to one side (again getting opponent lean bodyweight in that direction) then buck & roll the other way. Rolling with them and on top. Also, trapping their foot with your foot as you demonstrated. A couple knees to the groin, pin their biceps as you slide back and up.

[@staysafemartialarts]

@@StephenSmith-if3zj ah yes a slight variation, but still effective

Like a game a chess literally Seeing so many ways to advance on your next move

[@staysafemartialarts]

Exactly

[@PowerIsWithin]

@@staysafemartialarts thank you for this

[@MrHighRaw]

So the real question is how do you escape when pinned down AND being tickled?? 😬

[@sahnwhee]

Speaking from experience, beg for mercy 🥲

[@galaxyrose0101]

This is really good for Brazilian jujitsu as well

[@staysafemartialarts]

exactly

[@RedRobertify]

What if they're pushing their bodyweight directly onto your torso though? Like if they have their knee on your solar plexus?

[@fxzzyplayzz]

That happened to me a few days ago 😢 I couldn’t breathe and I nearly passed out

[@simonesnell4499]

I tried this with my much bigger friend on top and couldn’t get my elbows down or my hips up lol I’m pretty small compared to him

[@staysafemartialarts]

plan to update this video with a bigger person attacking

I'm too gay for this chicanery.
