It's all to do with grips on the gi sometimes u can if your quick

This is an underrated and epic comment

huh?! that's not what I heard.....I heard ur crusty grandma is waaaay better.

Started watching Marcelo in 2008. Still a fan

kurva you make me laugh

hahahaha

because probably this escape works only for Marcelo,you must choose another one which works for you ;)

lmao wtf

this escapes work for me....so review your movements body!

FunPhax yep

This is true, my trainer did this as a reversal to me for a month and a half before I developed a counter for it. And that was to drive my head to wards his head/shoulder.

Not really. I finally figured it out on my own the hard way. haha

you would use your collar tie and forearm across his face/chin to keep the same idea going also if you push on the triceps the situp escape works the exact same

+Tom F Park instead of grabbing the collar try controlling the MAN TITIES

+supernalbjj I tried this in class today but it was just hopeless. One cannot simply "control" the MAN TITTIES.

I think the thing that may be taken for granted by the teacher is that you are in fact not a fat guy and instead relatively fit and with at least moderate cardiological endurance.

You have to start the escape from the dinner table the night before the roll. Lose the weight. Good luck from another old fat guy.

Exactly, I tried to sit up and damn near shit myself in front of everyone. Super embarrassing.

Works well for me. It does require timing though.

Yes it does work, he would not be one of the best grapplers in the world if he relied on speed and athleticism. Black belts just know how to use all the little details in every move to make it seem easier than it is.

Why are you scared to be physical? Speed (aka TIMING) and athleticism are huge parts of grappling. You will never be the best bjj practitioner you can be if you think u can simply technique and leverage your way out of everything. Real talk: there's a reason why old dudes with encyclopedic technique can't fuck with the athletic beasts you see in elite bjj competition. The sooner you let go your romantic notions not having to use "strength", the sooner you will progress.

+elise p no the real answer is in the video, do it befor they settle and get pressure on you. it is all in the timing. do it as they get a grip control on you but befor they settle in, nothing works once you are pinned, you have to time your escapes, either befor the pin or as they let up on the pin and look to transition or submit

Timing..not too much speed

I have used this in no gi.

It works very well, both gi or no-gi for me. A bit better in no-gi because there is less friction between bodies.

Patrick Te Tau So it does work in no-gi, great

The stiff arm should keep them away well enough. Hopefully you can recover before they get to your back if they get through the arm, I guess.

They are anchored onto you and holding themselves in place. For them to take your back they have to back their weight off and get more mobile. When they do that your stiff arm helps increase the distance and allows you to reinsert your guard. Imagine it from the guy on top. Imagine trying to move to the back while being pushed outward. You would have to let off some of your counter-pressure.

+Stuntsandtricking It will work, but requires practice and technique.

Ok

+Stuntsandtricking I'm 250 lbs and strong, but I sure as hell wouldn't enjoy being in higher belt 300+ pounders side control. Does that happen much? I am one of the larger mammals I know lol. Of course I run into fatties, but not all that often heh. All kidding aside, i'm seriously looking forward to trying this technique out tonight. MG is the man.

+Stuntsandtricking 300 pounds plus wtf which gym u train at?!?

Carlson Gracie, an nah I usually don't have a problem unless it's like one of those super heavy dudes, an there's only like two at my gym, the heaviest one isn't bad cuz he's pretty slow and lazy, but there's one dude who's like my height but he prolly like 300lbs no bullshit, but he's also strong and faster cuz he's smaller an can move when he has to so when he trys to pass my gaurd it's fast aswell as strong an lot's of pressure, I gotta prolly get used to moving out the way more, but this works I was using it the other night an was working better then expected. Lyk how it works on the big guy tho.

ye.

this is a gi jiujitsu video

Que Lastima exactly!

vc é um otario

I not athletic nor fast. And I use this. You create momentum with your legs. Lift them up. Then swing them down. But midway, you flex like an L. And you will come up. It works easier the closer the person is to your waist. Or if the person on top is sitting with his legs like a scarfhold. I usually reverse people with this
