This was on a Friday morning and I decided to flip the camera on and share the experience with you guys. So in this BJJ technique video I walked my student through some of the basic details of the Mount Escape and how I use it. You’ll see that in this BJJ escape I focus on hips and then a push from the forearm.
The reason I use the forearm to push is that it requires less muscle then the hand which recruits the bicep for the push. Using the hips with a forearm push makes more use of the body’s structure to knock the person off balance and allow the Mount Escape.
After the first part of the BJJ mount escape I walk him through a Single X Sweep. At the end we touch on how this could even lead up into a passing position.
As I’ve shared in previous BJJ videos. I love finding ways to setup sweeps and attacks from escapes. Because you’re escaping a bad spot you can catch your opponent off guard at times.
Being stuck in the bottom of Mount in BJJ can be super frustrating. So I hope this mount escape to sweep video is helpful to you in your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.
