UNDERHOOK ESCAPE: step by step in jiu-jitsu

ESCAPESIDE CONTROL · ON BOTTOM

Step by step

  1. Under side control: one forearm under his neck and the other framing the hip.
  2. Bridge to throw his weight upward and create space.
  3. In that space, pass your arm underneath his arm and win the underhook.
  4. When his weight comes back, use the underhook to push him upward.
  5. At the same time, drag your legs and slide your body downward until his control is gone.
  6. Swing your legs like a scissor pendulum and place your elbow on the floor.
  7. Choose the top escape: keep your head close, wrap his leg and bring your knees together.
  8. Use your body like in a takedown to bring him to his side.
  9. Land on top in seated guard and immediately begin passing.
