Thank you for being so generous with your instruction Dom. As a working class white belt with a family and not much money or time to spare I really appreciate what you do here on RU-vid. 🙏Thank you
I’m a 60 year old white belt. Flexibility is challenging, like bringing my heels close to my butt….feels like my knees are going to pop. It’s getting better but will take time. Love this escape !
I wish I could like this video twice. Not just for the great technique / instruction, but for not begging for likes / subscriptions at the start of the video before showing anything! this is content done right! Great stuff man, keep it coming !
Great instruction! Old school technique I learned in Judo training in my much younger days. Nice the way you hit the fine points that most people try to muscle through.👍💮
Dom, I've seen some others here make the same remarks, but they really bear repeating. Your videos are on-point. Solid techniques. And your instruction style is above and beyond. Seriously. I'm a brown belt who's 12 years in and you're not only helping me with my own game but helping me with my teaching skills. I love that your videos cover techniques, live rolls / throws, and feedback sessions where you're guiding students as they practice. Awesome content! Thank you again!
Thanks so much for all the amazing details! I always like to use this to slide into the near side kesagatame rather than rolling all the way over. Clearly I nees to start trying the full roll over with your tips here though!
This is my favorite so far, but I always leave my left hand on the head and muscle it. Now, I see my mistakes. Thank you for this video and doing it step by step. Awesome work
Awesome technique and solid explanation. I hit the Turkish Get Up escape all the time, which is just taking him over your lap in the other direction - this will make a great combo, where if I can't hit one, I can use it to bait the other.
It looks so simple I have a hard time believing it actually works. I'll try that from now on and see if I manage to master it... Thanks for the very good vid!
I've been doing a slightly different version of this naturally for about a year now and everyone in my gym looks at me weird everytime I try it like I can only do it because I'm flexable and it's not a legit move.. im happy to see someone else doing it and that cam explain to me the finer details! 😃🥋💯
I started doing this recently after seeing Craig Jones hit it in training footage. The only thing he does differently is he uses his inside leg to step over and trap their leg that is by the hips. Really helps to collapse the base. I taught it in class about a month ago. I have lower belts sweeping people that they shouldn't be able to sweep.
@@guam58 sweep is when you have a guard established and use it to go from bottom to top position. an inversion is when you do not have a guard but do something to go from bottom to top. in point systems usually only a sweep is scored (could be wrong on this last point but I think its true)
very interesting technique good video. i wouldn't be able to do it because I have almost no experience with ju jitsu but if i got more into it and got my hips in shape this would be the first side control escape I would try. it seems more effective and simpler than any others I've seen on you tube so far.
I think the details on proper bridging is good enough in itself. I find myself executing it poorly, and see it taught badly aswell too often. Will work on it. Thanks for everything you're doing dom!
I also learned proper bridging mechanics from a danaher DVD and it changed the effectiveness of my bridges completely. This video teaches it quite well, so expect to see a change for the better in your bridges. Another thing I've found very useful is to do a shitty small popping bridge as a feint followed immediately by a well executed bridge. They react to the first one and think they are safe, so they don't expect the second one. It works 99% of the time for me.
@@pymebones Yeah i feel that last part even though all my fighting forms are simplistic. I mix in feints and other tiny motions constant stance and guard switches which I've practiced now my friends i spar with can't seem to figure me out anymore.
Great video 👍🏼 I love doing this technique all the time for years now I normally go to the same side once I sweep them over instead of cross side control. By using my arm holding their leg to bypass their guard. I find it easier than trying to roll over their body
I first watched this and thought you had smoked too much devil lettuce. I was wrong, I apologize. I've had so much fun with this, I've let people pass just so I can do it and laugh. Thank you.
Wow. Been training for over 6 years and I've just realized no one has _ever_ explained a bridge to me this way. I now feel like I've been -doing it wrong- the whole time.
Thanks for the bridge break down. This escape is great on white belts who don’t know to sink their hips for side control and their butt is up in the air like the demo here. But It’s very ineffective on someone who knows how to sink their side control.
There is a time and place for everything. At some point, your opponent needs to make a move - they can't keep their weight on you forever. That's when escapes like these can come into play, even for higher belts.
This is super helpful, and you have a great teaching style professor! I do have a question, what kind of adjustments or modifications would you need to make on this technique if the person in top position was using more of a "splayed out" side control with one knee near your body and the other leg extended back, which would make their hips lower or equal to your own?
I think a ghost escape would work in that scenario. If opponent bases out in a half sprawl it would be tough to roll them. Ghost Escape ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-foUwryDC3lY.html
I would opt for a traditional elbow-to-knee frame style escape. This reversal is nice when the situation has the top person on both knees (which is super common)
Great sweep! How do you get those muscles in your ankles🤔 Please don't tell me that's from having them ankle or foot locked so many times😳😳 My brittle ankles can't handle that.
Love the look of this technique. Would it be better or worse to get a grip on the opponent's thigh clothing, maybe at the knee or ankle, to pin that leg down? I suppose this version would work for no Gi too.
I find the hug of my bicep against their knee is stronger than gripping the material. Often times material around the legs can be really tight when the opponents leg is bent too.
Hey Dom, I do have a question - it seems that where this works most reliably that there would be an ideal range of angles between your spine and partner's spine that might be like a sweet spot. - is this true? So for example, if partner is 90 degrees/perpendicular, I think this might be much harder if not impossible, right? Maybe this is where the arm comes in to corral the guy's leg/prevent the post. Maybe that has a dual purpose of ensuring the respective angles of your spine and his are at that sweet spot?
What do you do if they're really laying down shoulder pressure though because I know in my experience if they're really putting that shoulder into your jaw bridging and oompa against that is not the funnest thing
