An insight one of my coaches shared with me while I was training in the US, (John Danaher) is that there are three major types of escapes that work synergistically, you can chain them so that the defense to one naturally sets up the next. I taught a class outlining these escapes, which include the elbow escape, kipping escape, and bridging escape, and I also briefly discussed how to chain them together and when to use each one. this video is a little bit more advanced but drop any questions or thoughts below and I'll try to help out.

One of my online students was having trouble dealing with opponents who pass from their knees, so I put together this video covering some general cues and what I think are the highest percentage attacks to focus on. It really helped him understand what to look for and improve his guard play, give it a watch and drop any questions or thoughts in the comments .

I think this is the most effective leg lock escape purely in terms of getting out of the leg entanglement. It’s universal, applies to every position, and has definitely saved me more than once in matches where I’ve been stuck. The only disadvantage is that you have to give up and possibly concede top position. try it and see how you go

Drop your BJJ questions in the comments. Try to make them as detailed as possible so I can give you a good answer. If you can’t phrase it in a sentence, don’t be afraid to make a video. I’ll either reply with text, or, if I find it interesting enough, I’ll make a video and post it.
