This roll is from around a year ago back at the old roka facilties. Definitely a very cool experience

This is a seminar I recently had the pleasure of teaching at Forza. The main focus of this seminar was: - Mechanics of control from Single Leg X - How to off-balance your opponent using push–pull - How to finish a sweep on your opponent - How to set up the Z-lock - Z-lock finishing mechanics - Outside heel hook when the Z-lock fails - How to control a reap - How to roll through with a reap - How to finish the outside heel hook - When to switch to Outside Ashi - Controlling and off-balancing from Outside Ashi - Ankle lock - Heel hook - Interplay between the ankle lock and heel hook

This short video covers three escapes from side control that work synergistically with each other. The main take away or concept, which applies universally to pin escapes as a whole is the importance of chaining your escapes, each reaction your opponent gives to one escape should help you transition into the next.

In this class, I go pretty in-depth on defending 50/50 focusing initially on late-stage heel hook escapes than on escaping the leg entanglement itself.”
