ESCAPE TO BUTTERFLY GUARD: step by step in jiu-jitsu
ESCAPEMOUNT · ON BOTTOM
Step by step
- Use this escape when he opens his hands to tie up the mount and you cannot control an arm for the bridge escape.
- Close your elbow and slide your fist in against his hip, creating a firm frame.
- Make a quick, high bridge to lift his weight off your hips for an instant.
- While he is still light, keep the elbow closed and immediately hip escape.
- Bring your knee in, recover your shin and place your foot inside as a hook.
- Control the distance with both hooks and establish the open guard; if he gives space, close the guard.
