ESCAPE TO BUTTERFLY GUARD: step by step in jiu-jitsu

ESCAPEMOUNT · ON BOTTOM

Step by step

  1. Use this escape when he opens his hands to tie up the mount and you cannot control an arm for the bridge escape.
  2. Close your elbow and slide your fist in against his hip, creating a firm frame.
  3. Make a quick, high bridge to lift his weight off your hips for an instant.
  4. While he is still light, keep the elbow closed and immediately hip escape.
  5. Bring your knee in, recover your shin and place your foot inside as a hook.
  6. Control the distance with both hooks and establish the open guard; if he gives space, close the guard.
