Marcelo Garcia: Elbow Push & Sit Up Escape vs Side Control

Marcelo escapes Side Control after his frames collapse or get deflected: If your opponent wriggles his or her shoulders free from your hands and lands at your side, keep them away from holding your head with a Cross-Face. If they land next to you on their knees, shift out from underneath and make a grip on the triceps for the Elbow Push Escape. If they land on their hip for a Modified Scarf-Hold, apply a collar tie and sit upright; pummel a Butterfly-Hook along with an Under-Hook to recover back your position.

Derick Lewis mastered this...

Lmao I guess you’re right

Amazing as always. Thank you

So well explained with lots of the little details that make the difference between success and failure.

Marcelo has such an amazing in depth understanding of jiu jitsu. For alot of people I think it is almost too deep to comprehend. Especially for the new white belts.

[@linusji1732]

Somehow I find this much more difficult than just turn away and defence my back

[@LuisGomesRocha]

Marcelo é um dois melhores que já existiu! Uma pena o conteúdo todo estar apenas em inglês... Creio que teria mais comentários e visitas se tivesse em português também! Abraço!

The goat

[@keepmoving1185]

As you are escaping from under him on the arm block sequence, do you leave your legs exposed for attack? I loved the side control to butterfly.

[@DrewDarce]

I use the escape a lot and I don't find my legs to be especially vulnerable. I mean people will occasionally dive on a toe hold or try to transition to a leg entanglement, but I just expect that a lot these days anyways. As long as you're mindful about your leg and foot positioning, you should be able to feel leg attacks coming and react accordingly. :) The more common reaction I've gotten over the years are people running their legs around my head to try and get side control on the opposite side.

[@TheByrdHouse]

Sometimes when I use the elbow push escape guys will roll to their side towards my head. Then I can’t escape.

[@copyninja8756]

go with their motion

[@davegcomedy1267]

the is another triangle example. always three points of contact for best results. three points define a plane, 3D control ... maybe 4D is anticipating moves

[@MangoBums]

why cant i train with MG :(( would be a dream come true

[@MBsr5]

That is the guy who left with Dillion he trains mma now, mansha I think

[@timothyobrien4785]

No. This is Matheus Lutes. He owns and coaches at his own gym now in Long Island, NY. It is called Royal Jiu Jitsu Academy. He is a great coach. You should check it out if you're in that area.

[@reactor4]

One of my only regrets in life is not moving to Chicago to train at Garcia's school.

[@leebrown7204]

You would’ve regretted it even more if you had done that ... you’d be more than 700 miles away from his school in New York

[@shaunguanco2764]

@@leebrown7204 I have NO idea why I thought his school was in Chicago!
