Lesson 33: Elbow Escape (Side Mount)

Overview

If your opponent is able to achieve the side mount, chances are they will be so eager to punch you that they will create space for you to execute the Shrimp Escape, which you learned in lesson 24. If they are able to prevent the Shrimp Escape, the best thing to do is conserve energy and transition from the side mount to the full mount so that you can use the Elbow Escape to recompose the guard. In this lesson you will learn two variations of the Elbow Escape from the Side Mount.
