<p><strong>Elbow Escape </strong>- If none of the Trap and Roll Escapes work, you can use this “emergency escape” to put the attacker in your guard. From there, you<br />can use your guard techniques to conserve energy, and then escape or submit him when the opportunity arises. We’ll begin with the<br />Standard Variation, and then we’ll discuss what to do when the standard option fails.<br />Technical Slices<br />1. Standard Variation<br />• Indicator: Assailant is too large or base conscious for the Trap and Roll Escape.<br />• Essential Detail: Flatten one leg and shove the knee with conviction.<br />• Most Common Mistake: Failure to maintain the body-hug with the back arm.<br />• Bad Guy Reminder: Stay rigid to facilitate execution initially.<br />• Drill Orders: Start from low, wide mount, 1 rep, reverse roles.<br />2. Heel Drag Variation<br />• Indicator: Assailants leg is too heavy for the Standard Variation.<br />• Essential Detail: Bite their ankle with your calf and use your hips for leverage.<br />• Most Common Mistake: Failure to use the hip twist for lifting leverage.<br />• Bad Guy Reminder: Start light and then increase the weight of your knee each time.<br />• Drill Orders: Start from a low mount with heavy knee, 1 rep, reverse roles.<br />3. Face Down Variation<br />• Indicator: You are face down and assailant is mounted on your hips.<br />• Essential Detail: Extend one arm, and rotate toward the posting arm to initiate the elbow escape.<br />• Most Common Mistake: Turning towards the wrong arm.<br />• Drill Orders: Start from face down mount, 1 rep, reverse roles. <span id="PrimaryContent_rptGroups_rptShows_0_lblShowDescription_14"></span><span id="PrimaryContent_rptGroups_rptShows_0_lblShowDescription_15"></span></p>
<p><strong>Guillotine Choke (Guard) - Overview<br /></strong>If you are trapped in a confined space with a sexual predator, escape may not be an option. In this lesson, we teach you multiple<br />chokes from the guard position, allowing you to render the attacker unconscious from the bottom of the fight! We will begin with one of<br />the most famous jiu-jitsu techniques of all time, the Triangle Choke!<br />Technical Slices<br />1. Triangle Finish (Preparation Drill)<br />• Essential Detail: Maintain head control anytime you uncross the legs.<br />• Most Common Mistake: Failure to squeeze thighs together when applying pressure.<br />• Bad Guy Reminder: Verify head and wrist controls throughout the entire technique.<br />• Safety Tip: Tap out.<br />• Drill Orders: Start from Triangle Set-up, 1 rep, reverse roles.<br />2. Triangle Choke (Giant Killer)<br />• Indicator: Assailant is in your guard and you seek to incapacitate him.<br />• Essential Detail: Effective foot positioning on the attacker’s hips.<br />• Most Common Mistake: Not using the leg to keep the distance and control his drop into the choke.<br />• Bad Guy Reminder: Keep driving forward to simulate reality.<br />• Safety Tip: Be careful not to knee you partner in the chin.<br />• Drill Orders: Start from the guard, transition to Triangle Choke, reverse roles.<br />3. Triangle Choke (Stage 3)<br />• Indicator: Assailant is in your guard and you seek to incapacitate him.<br />• Essential Detail: Retracting one leg from Stage 3 and placing it over his shoulder to initiate triangle setup.<br />• Most Common Mistake: Not keeping hips elevated and pinching legs together to control him while transitioning to triangle<br />setup.<br />• Drill Orders: Start from Stage 1, get to Stage 3, one rep, reverse roles.<br />4. Shirt Choke (Guard)<br />• Indicator: Assailant is in your guard and you seek to incapacitate him.<br />• Essential Detail: Establish your grips on the “bundled shirt” and bring your forearm around to the other side of his head.<br />• Most Common Mistake: Creating too much slack in the fabric with your grips.<br />• Bad Guy Reminder: Tighten your neck for protection.<br />• Safety Tip: Apply pressure to the choke slowly and steadily.<br />• Drill Orders: Start from the bottom of the guard, use one belt as the “shirt,” one rep, reverse roles.<br />5. Guillotine Choke (Guard)<br />• Indicator: Assailant is in your guard and you seek to incapacitate him.<br />• Essential Detail: Sit up as straight as possible before wrapping the neck.<br />• Most Common Mistake: Failure to lie down immediately after the wrap.<br />• Bad Guy Reminder: Once you tap, help alleviate the pressure off their chest so they can let go of the choke.<br />• Drill Orders: Start from Stage 1, 1 rep, reverse roles.</p>
