"Whether you can escape or not, you'll nearly escape alot" HAHAHA I really like that phrase

[@Tookap]

Thanks a lot! I'm the lightest and the only girl at my academy and end up at the bottom often, so having several escapes is very important!

I like going on my side right away and work with half guard from there

[@elierroaado4878]

Mate, you couldn't imagine how much I've improved with these video. I've been able to apply most of the techniques in these videos while rolling. Definitely recommend this to people.

[@richardold978]

Slowing the video down really helps understand technique. Please continue this on all your videos. Thanks for the content

[@SwampCityRadio1974]

Chaining works a treat for this white belt. Last weekend's roll under a brown belt mount: Bridge, hold position to keep his arms posted, and trap arm at the elbow and bring in, but he frees the arm. His hooks go in behind my knees so I defend my collar while disentangling hooks behind my knees, remembering in the process an Emily Kwok elbow escape detail which is to push his base out on one side with my knee so I can step over and hook his ankle in. Elbow escape with shrimp makes space. I shrimp the opposite direction and achieve half guard and get the lockdown, I bring my knees to my chest and elevate him with lockdown in place, make space, create a scramble and insert butterfly hooks. Mission accomplished. Being under mount feels safer than side control for me, even being caught in an Americana/figure four lock is an opportunity to get on my side and shrimp while fighting the lock.

[@dimitrishat8659]

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. Thousand times amazing. Thanks a lot for your lessons.

[@MrJayshaw91]

I love the yin and yang of this. Complementary answers to two related problems. I LOVE the details on the snag and drag, too.

[@ashleyc6161]

Thank You for such a thorough video on such small details. I'm often the only woman on the open mat days, mind you I'm 4'9 114lbs, so I often find myself trying to escape. I plan to try these tonight.

Base out to the opposite side to prevent escape and increase hip pressure as soon as you feel movement.

this is my 4th video i found of yours that i like. you earned a sub and a like today mate

[@tyhatfield7156]

Good job brother I totally agree it’s super easy to put people there I don’t like working on top because I’m a big guy. But in Crossbody or on the bottom of Crossbody it’s always good I’m usually never in the guard either,but you can end up there so it’s always good practice! In my school we always work on that also when they get to be blue belts I make them wear blindfolds

[@MH-wp8in]

Perfect!! I’ll try practice this one😃

[@Tidvel]

Man this helped alot.. when I rolled dude off me my mind was like "Holy Shit That Actually Worked!!!" Thank you man..

[@sharlah4057]

Interesting to hear you say that if you are a better player rolling with an inferior player you should let them start in a more dominant position. It makes me notice that (as a white belt) the more competitively successful players I have rolled with have always been more likely to allow me to start in a dominant position (and sometimes they instruct me on how to tap them out). The one's who are intent on breaking my spirit (even if they are a higher belt) seem to be the one's who loose most of their compeitive matches .......

Thank you Professor Tom. Tremendous. White belt w two stripes. Trying my best.

[@nateswain4633]

This guy is such a great coach. Clear explanations and great little extra hacks and applications. Thanks!

[@simonwhitehead8878]

The demonstration of the wide knees + squeezing knees and how this affects your opponents base was a bit of an eye opener for me. I'm 2 weeks into BJJ and in my first ever "free roll" I believe I was in both of these positions ... one where my opponent squeezed their knees and one where they had their knees wide to stop me pushing them over. I froze in both scenarios because I had no idea what to do. These videos are great and give me things to think about! I appreciate it!

[@shroppywill]

I'm a beginner and really struggle with hip escapes and this video has helped a lot thank you

[@Martin-kn6vc]

I've been doing nogi BJJ for a month, and was able to better my situation under mount by doing the knee up bench press style escape to slip a knee between myself and my opponent. I didn't get the foot lock, but it meant I was able to survive a bit longer. Thanks for these videos, professor!

[@RedWolfDrift2000]

OMG!! I love the way you explain things! And yes I completely agree with everything you said. You should sometimes let someone who is less skilled or athletic than you start from a better position. Let's forget our ego!!

[@Pifagorass]

Was climbing on extended hand into kimura (or straight elbow 🔒) is missing or it's too advanced/impossible technique?

[@andrewoyola]

Your video's are the best mate. They've improved my bjj tenfold

[@Brian-qo1sd]

Does Professor Tom speak to my coach and personalise the content?! ;) We were only just working on loads of leg locking techniques this last week....going all Danaher-esque on set up and control. The week previous, we explored escaping mount and going straight on the offensive, using butterfly guard etc. A few nice wee pointers here that go beyond simply white belt level. I know many others at higher belts who persist with the traditionally taught, basic trap and roll. That wider, lower (tighter) squeeze on the leg being trapped always helps make any bridge more effective because it connects their hips and reduces their opportunity to marginally or totally disconnect & therefore render your 'explosion' a waste of energy. You're downplaying it to say it's a 'white belt tip'. Nice work as always, Tom.

Thank you for all the information I really appreciate the versatility that you offer so that the mount escape never ends what appears to be one Stonewall is really just another avenue for escape.

[@Pwasercan]

thank you so much for these great techniques! Now I have something to try when I get mounted, because during my first month of grappling class, I haven't been taught any moves to escape, only some random advanced offensive moves. I hope we start seeing separate "beginner" classes for grappling, just as with many other sports.

This is such an incredible channel. I 'm new to BJJ, and even though I've done only 3 classes. I feel that I am able to watch videos and actually implement them into class. I feel like watching videos of techniques highly accelerates my game (I watched videos for months and months before actually trying BJJ). I find myself gaining and maintaining dominant positions against blue and purple belts with only 3 classes of experience. Thank you so much.

I haven't been having much success with the bridge + bench press escape because people cross their legs under me as soon as they feel two hands on their hips. Is there some kind of set up, distraction, or detail that you use to have more success with it?

Get their legs uncrossed first with your legs then attempt!

Can i ask BJJ practitioners a question? So i go to an MMA gym and im basically the token striker with a decade of experience showing up to get rolled by these dedicated BJJ grapplers and thats great. I like the challenge, that im learning new things etc. However ive asked them all ever so persistently to please spar stand up with me even just light or technique sparring and they seriously refuse to. Is it a bjj thing that they....i dont want to say scared. But, what could be the catalyst making them all so adamantly refuse to spar stand up with me when they are also martial artists who routinely get to just flatten me on the mat?
