Side control escape against tight top pressure 

As a white belt, this is absolute gold for me, thank you my friend!

Watched it couple of months ago. First try I faild miserably, but lately it's been working just fine. Swept a bad ass black belt the other day, things got ugly afterwards, but totally worth it ;-)

Seven years after first watching this I'm still hitting this sweep

Did this TODAY! Worked extremely well, like easier than most moves I try to replicate. Had a harder time 2nd attempt with heavier guy, creating distance the higher the opponent was on my chest was more challenging but rode it out and got it!!!! I’m a white belt , this move is legit AF

Nice tutorial, however, Chewie without the beard looks like they just let him out of kindergarten :D

This has become my favorite escape from side control. I've hit it a dozen times, at least. Thanks for posting.

CHEWIE!!!!! I have been a whitebelt for 3 weeks now and wanted an effective way to escape out of side control. They professor hadn't taught us this move and I performed it successfully on 5 different opponents. Thank you soooooo much. From AUS

Used this last night while holy crap it works lol

Finally hit this in a roll against a decent opponent today after probably 20+ attempts, what made the difference for me was being as tight as physically possible with the opponents arm, thanks chewy

Soooo useful. I've been getting stuck in side control so much and we haven't been taught what to do there or how to escape. Thank you for this

I watched this after being held down in my first class by a 16 week white belt. Pulled this off flawlessly yesterday to my professor and opponents delight. Thanks so much!

I tried this yesterday. It actually worked and I was so excited. Surprised the hell out of myself. Thanks Chewy

I watched this over two years ago and still use this technique constantly. Thank you!

Chew was born to instruct, excellent!

another fantastic teaching moment from the Chewmeister! Thank you sir. as always, concise & easy to follow.

Thank you Sir!!! I have been struggling with getting off my back; but this makes so much sense to me. Thanks again

Beautiful, thank you. Great explanation of the subtlety of the movement

3rd week in and getting crushed in side control has been my biggest issue. Cannot WAIT to get in the gym and start working on this

Man, I've gotta start drilling this. I get stuck like this off and on and it seems like a solid sweep. Thanks Chewie!

I love seeing how simple yet effective some techniques are. I just wanna facepalm and say "why didn't I think of that?!" Can't wait to try this out

I figured this out by mistake a few weeks ago, and I am now perfecting it. Thanks!

Holy crap, this is exactly the technique I've needed to be successful. Thank you so much.

That's cool. Good stuff. Being fresh to Jiu-Jitsu those side control situations almost seem impossible to get out of, but those techniques do and make a huge difference in getting out of holds.

Thanks Chew !!! That was a great move and well explained step by step!! Os!!

Just tried it today and worked like a charm!! Thank you!!

I saw this yesterday before practice and was caught on that position and I tried this ... and it worked! thanks!

Just did side control today. Thanks for this video Chewie!

Hell yeah!! Sometimes I get stuck in heavy side control. I can’t WAIT to apply this tonight!

Chewy! This is slick bud. I've been watching you for about a year now, just got my purple this month and your stuff has helped me a lot. Thanks for everything you've put out there. I know sometimes you have re visited older material you've posted with new tweaks or tips you've discovered over the years. I'm wondering, are there any new tips 7 years later that either you or the beard have discovered haha. I'm definitely going to watch this one a few more times and try and fit it into my game. Thanks again!

Beautiful! We'll have to give this a try.

Nice!im gonna add this one on my side control escapes.thanks chewjitsu!👍

Yo Chew, I use this Technique all the time. Works every time :) Learnt this from your video a while back and cant stop using it

This is excellent information. If you still have the original source video, have you considered reducing the volume of the gym audio and adding narration? It is very difficult to understand what is being said, but the information you are passing along is gold. Thank you!

what a fantastic move. so simple but can this being extremely effective. will put this to practice later today, thanks!!

Very nice and smooth. Works great thank you sir.

Excellent technique and very well explained

You're the absolute man! Thanks for these awesome videos!

I needed this as a white belt I often get stuck in side control. I can’t wait to try this on Monday!

I have used this move a handful to times and it works if you do it right. The first time was a no go. But all the times after it was great. Today I used it on a brown belt and I thought it was pretty cool being that I'm a white belt (it worked on him).

Thank you, tried it and more than 50% successful in sparring in the last couple of weeks. The unsuccessful attempts seem to be against more Gumby like fighters. Excellent method, a little tough to get up on my elbow on bigger opponents.

That was beautiful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Literally just did this class yesterday. Good stuff!

I'll be drilling this today before class, then implementing in sparring! lets see what success I can get from it! confidence is key!

Man I needed that! Thanks Chewy

what an awesome video! thanks so much for posting this

Oh man. I wish I saw this before class last night. My rolling partner was just laying on me squeezing. I tried other escapes, but he was so much stronger that none of them worked. I wish I had seen this one to try.

That’s awesome OSSS!!!! Thank you for sharing this video 💪💪💪💪💪

Simple, effective. Great stuff

Chewy thanks for sharing your time and knowledge

i loved this, was able to hit it a couple times during live rolls today

Might be an old video, I came across video with you teaching this technique while browsing through your playlist. However, I did this technique against a blue belt in class today; got him over and went to the side control. I'm not sure he let me do it or got him off guard. Either let me or not, I still got him over, lol. I still got a lot of work to execute this escape side control technique.

Simple, effective and amazing.

I have sub the channel and been watching you along with many other like Ramsey Dewey, The Gracies, and Kama for like a week or two now. Always wanted to learn BJJ since I was little about 10 or so but never had the money or when I did life got in the way like marriage and my children and other things. After watching all you guys and hearing the inspirational speeches and coaching I got my wife and kids to practice some Gracie university online with me and now everyone is on board and focused. I will begin my white belt training at a school near me next week. Enough is enough of letting my dreams slowly pass me bye. I know this isn’t one of those videos but I just wanted to say thanks chewy for helping me remember I’m not to old at 29 and that we have to do what needs to be done before we regret never doing it. Thank you.

Fantastic video!!

I think this is exactly what I need. Im a brand new white belt that keeps ending up submitted in side control from some big guys who get crazy pressure on my neck. Been trying to frame into their neck like you did here, but will try using the other palm in their hip to push them down.

nice breakdown of the movement. thanks!

Can’t wait to try this tomorrow

interesting escape, very nice. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome! Thank you for the strategy.

My new favorite sweep! love it! thanks!

Omg this is crazy good. I’m gonna try to attempt it today. Thanks!

Nice escape!! Something different for sure and a nice option. I also wanted to mention that I really like the way you instruct. Thanks for the vids.

Great vid. I'm a new white belt. This helps also, because I have a pretty strong side mount, and know I can try to prevent this, too. Your content is amazing Thank you.

Great clip! Thanks for sharing!

Going to try this. Thanks Chewie

That looks awesome. Gonna give it a try

This has been working for me but only against smaller opponents. It really isn't that much a bridge as turning over your hips and getting what was your opposite hip under the opponent ( IMO so I would invite you to correct me if you disagree ). Going to keep working it because it feels great to pull off. Cheers.

cant wait to try this

Use this all the time. Absolute best

Definitely trying this today!!

That was crazy to watch wow , must try this

Thank you so much for this, I re-started my training yesterday (white belt here) and I keep getting trapped in that side control grip, I'll try this in class as soon as possible. This channel is gold!!!

Great technique! Thanks. 👍

Saw this video for the first time a few days ago, hit it my first attempt today against an upper belt. Thanks

I’ve been getting smashed when I spar side control. This helps so much!

Wow, great explanation. I'll try the arm trap on saturday

I needed this. I train with a lot of guys and girls who were former wrestlers. Getting out of their side control feels impossible lol. I'll try this out tomorrow at practice. Thanks 😁

Gonna try this next class!

i have a feeling this will work for me! THANKS~

This is what I needed! Thank you! Gonna drill it n then live roll it. Heavy side control opponents have really smashed me up lately.

This is awesome - I struggled today as a 1 stripe white belt against an entire class of 4 stripes/blue & browns when the focus of the rolling was side guard. Just kept getting breadcuttered or mounted and it really annoyed me. I will try this on monday!

Can't wait to try it :)

OMGosh... Steven Crowder and Chewy are the same dude!!!!

Very nice. I got stuck in this position the other day (although I did frame properly). Thanks for the tip.

I got a guy who cant tap me at my gym... but he just hugs me in side control puts his face next to my face so I can feel his facial hairs and holds me. But this one here I will try. Oss.

fantastic video thank you

holy cow I've always watched your videos but never realized that you were in Kentucky. I'm from Lexington myself

Thanks for this!

Woooooooo that was so clean

Good stuff, thank you.

Hell yeah love the way u explain it

Nice! As a beginner I would've used shrimp and shoot or block and shot varieties of the shrimp escape from side control. Doing a side control reversal, which I suppose this is, leads to all kinds of fun stuff. You could go for a scarf-hold and follow it with a Kimura or an armlock. Maybe even go to full mount and do some things from there. Endless possibilities and fun right there.

Tomorrow I have my first white belt tournament. These are useful tips. Thank you very much. 👍

This is gold!

This looks like it's gonna work. Looking forward to using this vs large blue belt with extremely heavy top pressure.

This was so beautiful

Great tip, thanks

Really could have used this two days ago....ouch. Will be working on it. Thanks for the video.

Beautiful!!!!!

thanks, looks legit, will try it tomorrow
