Length: 18:13
Starring: Chris Haueter

When you are on bottom of a mount, staring at the sky, always think its raining knuckles and you’re face up in a knuckle storm. Be relaxed. Keep your hands up near your face to protect your neck, arms and face. Chris begins the escape instruction by going over a proper hip escape and bridge and roll without a partner. For the escape, you want to keep your opponent on your hips. Chris explains how to shift weight onto your opponent’s hand to trap the arm, how to properly trap the arm, and the leg trap and roll. Remember to come up into good posture after the escape to avoid an attack in the guard.
