Class 16 - Shrimp Escape - Side Mount [GU-24]; Body Fold Takedown [GU-14]
Shrimp Escape - Side Mount -
Against
a much larger opponent, there is a good chance that you will find
yourself on the bottom of the fight. And if this happens, the
safest thing to do is to get your opponent in your guard because
from there, you can neutralize punches and win the fight. If
your
opponent is able to get past your guard you will need to use the
Shrimp Escape to put them back in the guard where they belong.
In
this lesson you will learn three variations of the Shrimp Escape,
starting with the Block and Shoot Variation.
Technical Slices™
1) Block and Shoot Variation
Indicator: Opponent passes your guard and attempts to establish the
side mount.
Essential Detail: Shoot the legs into position immediately after
the block
Most Common Mistake: Inefficient removal of the inside leg after
the initial shot
Bad Guy Reminder: Start from a distant side mount on your knees and
dive in controllably
Drill Orders: Start from distant side mount, 1 repetition, reverse
roles
2) Shrimp and Shoot Variation
Indicator: Opponent establishes the side mount.
Essential Detail: Effective hip block and immediate shot after the
shrimp movement
Most Common Mistake: Shooting one leg at a time instead of both
legs together
Drill Orders: Start from side mount, 1 repetition, reverse
roles
3) Punch Block Variation
Indicator: Opponent establishes the side mount and prevents your
initial escape attempts.
Essential Detail: Conserve energy and establish punch-safe
positioning
Most Common Mistake: Trying to escape while the opponent is
focusing on control
Bad Guy Reminder: Control very tight for a few seconds then attempt
to punch with the north hand
Drill Orders: Start from side mount, attempt Shrimp and Shoot,
control punches, escape, reverse roles
Body Fold Takedown -
Instead of exchanging punches with a larger opponent, we
recommend that you establish the clinch and take them to the ground
where
you can exhaust and submit them. Once you establish the clinch,
there is a good chance that they will get desperate and try to hit
you
in the face. In doing so, they will lean back and unknowingly
create the perfect opportunity for the Body Fold takedown.
Technical Slices™
1) Body Fold Takedown
Indicator: Opponent attempts to throw punches after you establish
the clinch.
Essential Detail: Tight clinch and slight body pickup prior to the
fold
Most Common Mistake: Folding with only the arms instead of the
whole body
Safety Tip: Release the clinch and post hands out before hitting
the ground
Bad Guy Reminder: Hold onto the good guy and put your butt on the
ground first then roll back
Drill Orders: Start in the clinch, 1 repetition, reverse roles
